Chris Lane’s “Big, Big Plans” Tops The Charts

December 15, 2020/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Chris Lane has reached the top of the charts with his latest single, “Big, Big Plans” which landed at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Airplay charts, while also reigning atop the Billboard Canada Country Airplay and Mediabase Canada Country charts. “Big, Big Plans” is Lane’s third career chart-topper in the U.S., and his fourth No. 1 in Canada.

The Gold-certified smash which was written by Lane, Jacob Durrett and Ernest Keith Smith, has tallied 149 million on-demand streams and marks Lane’s first No. 1 as a songwriter. Penned ahead of his engagement to now-wife, Lauren, the song was first heard in their heart-warming proposal video. Once released, “Big, Big Plans” inspired more than 20 onstage fan proposals during Lane’s Big, Big Plans Tour, and countless others shared online.

“As an artist the most rewarding thing for me is writing a song and hearing fans sing it back, and make it part of their own story as well,” said Lane. “It’s been so much fun to see the way such a personal song for me has impacted other people over time. From proposing to my wife, to seeing others’ proposals at shows and on social media, to it now hitting No. 1 on country radio is unbelievable. I couldn’t be more excited.”
