Country star Cody Johnson performed in front of a sold-out crowd on Feb. 2 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The headline show marked a record for the singer, as it became the most tickets sold by a male country artist in their Bridgestone debut.

Before taking the stage, Warner Music Nashville helped present Johnson with 46 new RIAA certifications. These certifications combined total more than 17 million in sales and streams. He also received a Gold certification for current single “The Painter,” which debuted at country radio with the singer’s largest add date so far.

Fast-rising country star Bailey Zimmerman kicked off his “Religiously: The Tour” on Feb. 1 at The Novo in Los Angeles, California. The sold-out crowd started lining up hours before the show, eager to see Zimmerman. He captivated the audience with performances of hits “Religiously,” “Rock And A Hard Place,” “Where It Ends” and many more.

The tour will continue this week in California before hitting more than 30 stops including New York City, Indianapolis, San Antonio and more.
