While my son Logan was home on Christmas break, he asked me 'what was the biggest song of 2013' in Country Music!  He was wondering if it was a song from Florida Georgia Line. I did some looking and it turns out he was right!

 Florida Georgia Line hit another milestone this past year. The country duo’s debut single “Cruise” now ranks as the best-selling country single of 2013. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song sold 4.69 million copies last year, bringing the song’s total sales to more than 6.3 million since its release in 2012.

So, Is that a big thing?  The answer is Yes! One of the biggest concert 'events of the year' was the Florida Georgia Line concert in Brookings this past summer. Smokin' HOT! Oh, and one of the reasons the song did so well is the duo pushed out a version of it to CHR Radio Stations.

That new total sales figure now also ranks “Cruise” as the best selling country digital single of all time, surpassing Lady Antebellum's award -winning single “Need You Now.”
