NASHVILLE, TN – Multi-Platinum artist Kane Brown’s single, “Heaven,” marks the breakthrough star’s second consecutive #1 smash from his RIAA Platinum-certified self-titled debut album on this week’s Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase’s country airplay charts. “Heaven” follows Brown’s ACM nominated, Multi-Platinum chart-topping single and 2018’s most-streamed song of the year, “What Ifs.” On Tuesday, May 15th, the award-winning singer/songwriter will perform “Heaven” on NBC’s Emmy-award-winning “The Voice,” before heading to the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, where he is a triple-nominee for Top Country Artist, Top Country Album , and Top Country Song for “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina.
Co-written by Matthew McGinn, Lindsay Rimes and Shy Carter and produced by multiple award-winning Dann Huff, “Heaven” maintained a seven-week stronghold at #1 on Nielsen’s On Demand Audio Core Country Streaming chart so far this year. The clip for “Heaven,” directed by Alex Alvga, has tallied more than 95 million YouTube/VEVO video views (watch HERE.)
