Old Dominion has landed a record-breaking chart-topper with their latest single, “Memory Lane.”
The track has achieved the most spins in a week by any duo or group, (breaking their own record on “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart”), and is the band’s ninth No. 1 as well as the title track of their most recent EP.
“Somehow with that first line, when it happened in the writing session, all of us were immediately zapped into our little trip to that place,” Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey muses on news of the song topping the charts. “And that happens for everyone. When people hear it, they’re transported to wherever it is for them. You can see it on their faces, and it’s amazing watching that expression [of delight] light up an entire arena.
“I can’t decide if it’s happy or sad,” admits Ramsey, who penned the song with Jessie Jo Dillon and bandmates Brad Tursi and Trevor Rosen. “The reality is I’m so glad to have that place to go to. It definitely has a bounce to it, so it feels good; but when you listen, it’s a really deep nursery rhyme. If you’re young, it’s that hopeful space, but for an adult who’s been through some stuff, it’s a pretty great place to land.”
Old Dominion is currently headlining their “No Bad Vibes Tour,” and capped off Memory Lane’s street week with two sold-out nights in front of 15,000 fans in Lake Tahoe.
