Parker McCollum’s chart-topping hit “Pretty Heart” has been certified four times-Platinum by the RIAA. The track, written by McCollum and Randy Montana, was featured on his 2021 debut studio album, Gold Chain Cowboy.

“Man…all I have to say is thank you,” McCollum shares. “The amount of support you all have shown me over these years means more to me than you’ll know. All I’ve wanted to do is make music that connects with people and that I can be proud of. I’m just grateful that y’all are playing my songs. Thank you.”
