Brett Young's 'In Case You Didn't Know' Certified 8x Platinum

Brett Young's smash hit "In Case You Didn't Know" has been certified 8X Platinum by the RIAA.

The song is one of the only three country songs in the past 5 years to achieve the 8X multi-Plantinum certification. Young co-wrote the song along with Trent Tomlinson and Tyler Reeve. The song was released to radio on January 9, 2017 as the second single from Young's debut self-titled album (2017).

"Eight times PLATINUM - that's pretty wild," Young said. "I could never have imagined what this song would become when we first wrote it. It's humbling to have created something that has resonated so strongly with so many people."

"'In Case You Didn't Know' is one of only three country singles released in the past five years to achieve RIAA 8X multi-Platinum or higher! Just three," said Jackie Jones, VP of Artist and Industry Relations at RIAA. "Congratulations to Brett and his Big Machine team on this incredible achievement!"

Ryan Hurd Shares 'Pass It On' Video Featuring Cameo From Wife Maren Morris

Ryan Hurd recently released a video for "Pass It On," a single from his debut album, Pelago, which arrived last year.

The video, directed by Nicki Fletcher and Mason Allen, features a cameo from Hurd's wife Maren Morris. It opens with Hurd walking into an almost empty roller skating rink and showcasing his skill.

Morris appears midway through the video. After sharing a drink, the two head out to the rink, with more people joining the fun as Hurd sings along.

"Pass it on / Pass it on / Pass it on to someone else / What good is your dollar or your love or your bottle / There's enough to go around / So send it on down / 'Cause you can't take it with you when you're gone," Hurd sings in the chorus.

Hurd co-wrote "Pass It On" with Morris, Jordan Schmidit and Michael Hardy.

Pelago reached the top five of Spotify's most streamed country albums and features "Chasing After You," the Platinum-certified duet with Morris. The song earned a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards as well as two nominations at The 55th Annual CMA Awards.
