Chris Cagle was honored with a Pandora Billionaire plaque during a special SiriusXM audience event last week in Nashville celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut album, Play It Loud.
The plaque was presented by SiriusXM’s Trapper John Morris at the SiriusXM studios, acknowledging Cagle’s career catalog surpassing one billion streams on Pandora. The SiriusXM Y2Kountry event marked the official kickoff of Cagle’s “Play It Loud 25th Anniversary Tour,” and featured a live performance and in-depth interview with host Ashley Till. Cagle delivered a career-spanning set of his hits, including “Laredo,” “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” “What a Beautiful Day,” “Chicks Dig It” and “What Kinda Gone.”
The special event will be broadcast nationally on SiriusXM’s Y2Kountry channel 57 on Feb. 13 and any time on the SiriusXM app, launching a year-long celebration honoring 25 years since the release of Play It Loud.
In conjunction with the anniversary campaign, Cagle has also signed with Johnstone Entertainment for management.
