Ryan Hurd’s hit “To A T” has accumulated over one million consumption units and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. Hurd is pictured here embracing his brand new “To A T” Platinum plaque as well as a celebratory cocktail. “To A T” was written by Hurd, Laura Veltz and Nathan Spicer, and was included on his critically-acclaimed Platonic EP. Hurd’s latest song, “Chasing After You,” with wife Maren Morris officially impacted country radio less than a month ago, and has since amassed over 24 million streams.
