MCA Nashville newcomer Parker McCollum has earned his first No. 1 on the Billboard and Mediabase country airplay charts this week with his debut single, “Pretty Heart.” The nostalgic track is featured on Parker’s new EP, Hollywood Gold, and was co-written by McCollum along with Randy Montana. The single reached No. 1 on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart in October.

“To have this song really and truly succeed on big time radio is a dream come true,” says Parker. “And for it to happen during such an insanely crazy year makes it just that much more special.”

“Pretty Heart” was just certified Gold by the RIAA and has averaged over 5 million streams weekly. With the release of Hollywood Gold, McCollum earned the highest-selling debut EP of 2020 debuting at No. 10 on the Billboard Country Chart.
