NASHVILLE, TN – As Thomas Rhett continues “pushing up against Country’s music boundaries”(Associated Press), his sophomore release TANGLED UP (The Valory Music Co.) follows the same path earning PLATINUM certification by the RIAA. On Saturday (8/20), before his set as direct support on Jason Aldean’s SIX STRING CIRCUS TOUR in Irvine, CA, Thomas Rhett was surprised backstage by his team and friends with news of the new benchmark.

“It’s crazy to think about all the fans who are taking this journey with me and are helping make things like this happen,” said Thomas Rhett. “I’ve had an amazing year already, but finding out that the album went Platinum is one of the coolest moments so far.”

“One of country’s perennial ‘next big things’” (Noisey) continues to earn applause for TANGLED UP, with its newest “ultimate party song,” (Ottawa Citizen) “Vacation.” The album has already produced three chart-toppers including the newly minted “T-Shirt,” the 2X PLATINUM six-week No. one and ACM award-winning “Die A Happy Man” as well as the PLATINUM “Crash And Burn.”
