Sam Hunt Gets Debut #1
Sam Hunt is having quite a week! His debut album, Montevallo, was just released and topped the Country Album chart. Then he got the news that the his first single, “Leave The Night On,” is #1. Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton & co-host Frankie Ballard called Sam this week to congratulate him:
(Lon) Frankie was telling me you just met last night. (Frankie) Yeah I told you last night, I’m really happy for you. I loved this song, from the first time I heard it I knew it was a big old hit, so enjoy this week, this is your week.
(Sam) Thanks buddy, and you’re coming up on it yourself!
(Frankie) Yeah hurry up and get out of the way!
(Sam) Yeah, we rang the bell, and are glad to have it, and I’m excited for you too.
(Lon) Where were you when you got the news? (Frankie) We were in Birmingham Alabama, we had an album come out this past week, so we were doing an album release show, we had to hang in to maybe midnight, and we got the word and celebrated a little bit.
(Lon) That’s a heck of a way to debut an album: (Sam) I know, it’s pretty cool to have those things line up the way they had, special time for all of us.
(Frankie) Sam, you’re a smart guy! (Sam) I wish I could take credit for planning it, but it just worked out.
