Zach Top was surprised with his first ACM Award for New Male Artist of the Year on Thursday night (April 24), prior to taking the stage for his sold-out show on his “Cold Beer & Country Music Tour” in Wilmington, North Carolina.

The news was revealed by Brooks & Dunn, (the winningest duo in ACM history), through a special video congratulating Top for winning his first ACM Award.

“I couldn’t be more honored, and I can’t say a big enough thank you to my fans for loving music and loving what we do on the road and listening to the songs every day,” says Top. “It means the world to me, I’ve always wanted to just play and sing for a living, and I get to do that now and it’s cool to be able to get a little trophy every now and then to let us know that we’re doing good doing it. So thank you so much, this is beautiful.”

Top will be celebrated for his ACM New Male Artist of the Year win at the upcoming 60th ACM Awards, which will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Thursday, May 8.

His win comes after the success of his debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, which garnered more than 3.5 million streams in its first week alone. Meanwhile, his sold-out “Cold Beer & Country Music” headline tour rolls on, featuring stops at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium (two nights), New York’s Terminal 5, and Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway. Additionally, Top is supporting select dates with Alan Jackson on his “Last Call Tour” and will join Dierks Bentley’s “Broken Branches Tour” when it kicks off next month.
