If not...check out his hit with the "wrong side of the law - break for freedom" video!

Let's backfill a few of the highlights from his short but rocket-fueled amazing career.

The multi-week No. 1 hit “Never Say Never” is his 11th career No. 1 following on the heels of the album’s debut multi-week No. 1 “Single Saturday Night,” which has logged over 245 million streams globally.

In the seven years since his debut on Warner Music Nashville, Swindell has racked up an impressive 11 No. 1 singles as an artist – 12 No. 1 as a songwriter.  Make room on the shelf for  – nine certified Platinum singles (four singles at 2x Platinum), a Platinum-certified debut album (Cole Swindell), and a Gold-certified sophomore album (You Should Be Here).

The Georgia hitmaker has almost 5 BILLION global career streams. His massive, GRAMMY-nominated hit “Break Up In The End” was named the NSAI Song of the Year (2019)
