Bailey Zimmerman
Bailey Zimmerman is making waves in the music industry and his success is reaching new heights with each passing day. Recently hailed by Forbes as “one of the most exciting new names in the music industry,” Zimmerman has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.
His current Platinum-selling single, “Rock And A Hard Place,” is now officially No.1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart. The runaway smash has shattered a record by earning the title of most-played record across the country in one single week since the Mediabase chart’s inception.
The track is also celebrating its third consecutive week at No.1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, racing to the top even faster than his Multi-Platinum predecessor, “Fall In Love.” According to Billboard, Zimmerman’s three-month, three-week span between these first two chart-toppers is “the quickest for any act’s first two in nearly a quarter-century.”
Zimmerman’s success is not limited to the country charts. “Rock And A Hard Place” has also cracked the Top 100 once again on the all-genre Billboard Global 200 chart, recently becoming his first Top 10 hit on their all-genre Hot 100 chart. The track hit the top 10 in its 41st week on the Hot 100 – rewriting yet another record for the longest climb to the top 10 for a song by a soloist in the chart’s history. It continues its reign as one of the Top 4 most-streamed country songs in the US and totals more than 550 million global streams to date.
Zimmerman’s hard work and dedication to his craft have led him to embark on the US leg of Morgan Wallen’s 2023 One Night At A Time World Tour, beginning this Friday with back-to-back nights at Milwaukee’s American Family Field stadium. The 50+ date trek will visit multiple legendary venues, including stadium stops at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, LA’s SoFi Stadium, and Boston’s Fenway Park before wrapping on October 7th at Tacoma Dome in Washington. Tickets are on sale now at BaileyZimmermanMusic.com.
Credited as “the biggest new country artist this side of Morgan Wallen” by Rolling Stone, Zimmerman is set to release his full-length debut, Religiously. The Album., on May 12 via Warner Music Nashville/Elektra. Showcasing his passion for storytelling, the celebrated singer/songwriter is featured as a co-writer on 11 of the 16 tracks, including the soaring title-track, “Religiously,” praised by Billboard for bringing “emotional heft and authority to the throes of heartbreak.” In addition, the first-time 2023 CMT Music Awards nominee is up for two awards this year, with nods in the Male Video of the Year and Breakthrough Male Video of the Year categories.
Zimmerman’s 2022 record-shattering debut EP, Leave The Light On, made history upon release as not only the most-streamed all-genre debut of 2022 but also the biggest streaming country debut of all time. He’s earned more than 1.5 billion career streams to date and was ranked as Billboard’s 2022 No. 2 Top New Country Artist and No. 4 Top New Artist across all genres.
His meteoric rise to the top of the charts is a testament to his hard work and dedication to his craft. With his debut album set to release soon and a highly successful tour underway, there’s no telling where Bailey Zimmerman’s career will take him next.
