NASHVILLE, TENN. (August 10, 2021) – Big Loud Records’ MULTI-PLATINUM entertainer JAKE OWEN locks in the coveted most-added position at Country radio this week with a massive 85 first-week stations launching his Country Radio World Premiere for “Best Thing Since Backroads.” Penned by Ben Johnson, Jordan Minton, Hunter Phelps and Geoff Warburton and produced by long-time friend and producer Joey Moi, Owen continues down his road of success with this feat.
“For a first single off a new project to have this type of momentum is super exciting,” says Owen. “I’m very thankful for the continued support from Country radio, and of course my incredible Big Loud team!”

LISTEN TO “BEST THING SINCE BACKROADS” HERE NOW.

The windows-down Country-Rock single was selected for a Country Radio World Premiere where fans heard the song for the first-time late Thursday night. The sunny track is a tribute to the simple perfection of true love, comparing a soul mate connection to the easy euphoria of a two-lane cruise. It’s dedicated to the one thing an old gravel road and that special someone have in common – they’re both the most direct route to a good time.

In addition to the new single being #1 most-added, Owen’s latest album GREETINGS FROM…JAKE just crossed ONE BILLION on-demand streams this month. Released in 2019, the album marked the chart-topper’s Big Loud Records debut and sent three of its four singles to #1– while the other became a PLATINUM-certified Top 5 favorite.
