Trace Adkins performs hits from Songs About Me on Y2Kountry at SiriusXM in Nashville.
Trace Adkins is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his 2x Platinum album Songs About Me with a special SiriusXM Session performance and interview.
Adkins visited SiriusXM in Nashville appearing on Y2Kountry for the session and interview with host Danielle Peck. In front of a crowd of fans, he delivered renditions of tracks from Songs About Me such as “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” and the emotional “Arlington,” and also performed his latest single “What Color’s Your Wild.”
Adkins originally released Songs About Me in March 2005. It peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Top Country Albums Chart in addition to picking up a double Platinum certification. It includes the 3x Platinum anthem “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” Gold-certified “Songs About Me,” and “Arlington,” and has garnered hundreds of millions of streams.
SiriusXM and Pandora’s Johnny Chiang, Vice President of Music Programming – Country at SiriusXM and Pandora, also surprised Adkins with a Billionaire plaque in recognition of over 1 Billion streams for his music on Pandora. Only a handful of artists have reached this milestone, including Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran, and more.
“The incredible thing about Trace and his career is the consistency. Whether he has new music or not, Pandora fans are screaming for Trace,” shared Chiang during the milestone presentation. The event will air on on the SiriusXM app for two weeks.
Last week, Adkins dropped his new song “That Someday” via Verge Records to coincide with his role as “Big Buck” in the new film Day of Reckoning. He recently kicked off his headlining “What Color’s Your Wild Tour.”
