Koe Wetzel Reaches Country Chart Summit With ‘High Road’ Featuring Jessie Murph
Koe Wetzel has landed his first No. 1 at country radio with “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph, which topped both the Billboard Country Airplay and Country Aircheck/Mediabase country charts over the last two weeks while also achieving top 20 at Hot AC and top 25 on the Top 40 chart.
The single was co-written by Wetzel with Amy Allen, Gabe Simon, Carrie Karpinen, Murph, Laura Veltz and Josh Serrato, and is featured on Wetzel’s album 9 Lives, which was released in July as his fifth studio album. The project earned recognition on multiple year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean, Holler and more, with the Los Angeles Times naming “High Road” as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all genres.
“Look at us with a No. 1! Jessie, you’re a beast of a singer and writer, glad we share this one together. Amy, Carrie, Laura, Serrato and Gabe, it’s an honor any time we’re in a room together,” shares Wetzel. “It’s been an unbelievable year and to cap it off with this is just unreal. Huge shoutout to the fans for already making this one Platinum, to our promo team for working their asses off all year and to country radio for taking a chance on a kid from East Texas.”
