Corey Kent scored his first #1 single on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart with “Wild As Her.” The singer-songwriter is grateful for his chance at his country music dreams.

“I just wanted to say thank you to country radio for giving this dude a chance man, I was working at a pavement company. And the last thing that I expected was to be able to take the song that I recorded while I was working at a pavement company to the radio, much less my first time as a debut single to have a number one. You guys changed my life. Thank you for helping me provide for my family and gosh, this is probably the coolest moment of my career. This one feels pretty dang good. Thank you.”

“Wild As Her” has also been certified as a Platinum single by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Congratulations to Corey Kent on this well-deserved success. I’d bet there are many more of these accomplishments on the way for you.
