Megan Moroney’s debut hit single “Tennessee Orange” reached No. 1 this week on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase Country Airplay chart.

The first single from her debut album Lucky, the Platinum-certified track fueled Moroney’s rise. Within just five days of its premiere, the viral sensation surpassed a million streams and catapulted the 25-year-old into the spotlight, paving the way for her to sign with Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records.

First released last September, “Tennessee Orange” is the story of a love so strong it even defies loyalty to a beloved home team. Moroney won Breakthrough Female Video of the Year at the recent CMT Music Awards for the single, and made history as the fifth solo country female artist ever to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart.

Moroney will kick off “The Lucky Tour” with her New York City debut at The Bowery Ballroom on Sept. 20.
