Nashville, TN – Multi-Platinum entertainer Kane Brown just received word of his three 2018 American Music Awards nominations for Favorite Male Artist – Country, Favorite Album – Country for his Platinum-certified multi-week #1 self-titled debut release and Favorite Song – Country for the Double-Platinum multi-week #1 smash “Heaven.” He is the most-nominated artist in this year’s AMA Country categories.
Earlier today, Brown revealed the AMA nominations along with chart-topping artists Bebe Rexha, Normani and Ella Mai live from YouTube Space LA on the official American Music Awards YouTube channel (YouTube.com/TheAMAs). The “2018 American Music Awards,” the world’s largest fan-voted awards show where music enthusiasts watch their favorite artists and pop culture icons come together to honor idols, newcomers and record-breakers in the contemporary music scene, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 9, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
Kane Brown will release his forthcoming album entitled Experiment on November 9 and is available for pre-order here. Brown’s highly-anticipated follow-up to his multi-week chart-topping Platinum-certified RCA Nashville/Zone 4 debut album is produced by multiple-award winner Dann Huff. Experiment will feature several tracks co-written by Brown including his current single, “Lose It.” Already Top 20 and rising on Billboard and Mediabase country airplay charts and Nielson’s Country Core On-Dem and Audio and Video Streaming charts, “Lose It” continues to gain momentum and critical-praise, with the New York Times calling it “urgent and saucy…broad-spectrum ecstasy.”
Brown’s “Lose It” is spotlighted in Amazon Music’s brand-new advertising campaign, A Voice is All You Need. The ads highlight the powerful vocals of notable songs by Brown and superstars Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, SZA and Queen while demonstrating the simplicity of voice with Alexa. See the animated video for “Lose It” HERE.
The “Lose It” track and music video are available now. Additionally, the Georgia native recently released “Weekend” from his new album as a track and music video, which earned raves as the “perfect jam” (Taste of Country ). To view the video visit HERE.
The Platinum-certified album Kane Brown holds 2018’s longest reign on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart with 10 weeks at #1 and has hit a total of 12 weeks at #1. Additionally, Brown’s album has amassed the most weeks of any country album released since December 2016. The records and accolades are adding up. His multi-week #1 song “Heaven” became one of only two singles in the past decade to remain Top 5 for 14 weeks or more on the Billboard Country Airplay Charts. The singer/songwriter’s Triple-Platinum #1 hit “What Ifs” recently became the #3 most-streamed country song of all time.
Brown first topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart with the release of his self-titled debut album (2016) and again with the release of Kane Brown Deluxe Edition (2017), which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums and Top 5 on Billboard 200 Charts. That same week, the 24-year-old entertainer made history by becoming the first-ever artist to top all five Billboard Country Charts with his breakthrough #1 Top Country Album; #1 debuting Country Digital Song, the Double-Platinum “Heaven”; and #1 Country Airplay, Hot Country Song and Country Streaming Song, the Triple-Platinum “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina. In addition to making Billboard history, Brown garnered a Guinness World Record for becoming the first act to top five U.S. country charts simultaneously. To date, Kane Brown remains the best new artist country debut of the past four and a half years and is available HERE.
