To say the last year has been a rollercoaster for Kaci Brown & Sam Gray would be something of an understatement. Since the release of their debut single, “Top Down”, the Anglo-US duo have barely had time to draw breath. The single was initially championed on the biggest national country music station in the US, Sirius XM’s The Highway, and has gone on to receive over 1,000 plays on the station as well as thousands more spins from a host of stations all over America. They were then featured in Rolling Stone’s Top 10 Country Artists to watch in 2018 which brought an agency deal with William Morris Endeavor in Nashville leading to more than 30 festival shows including Stagecoach & Faster Horses. Their success started to spread back across the Atlantic in the Spring when BBC Radio 2 added the record to their playlist for a month with the song reaching the Top 10 on the station.
Then a funny thing happened… a club remix package catapulted the song into the Top 10 of the UK Dance Charts and one of those mixes was picked up by Radio Disney and added to their main playlist, receiving more than 280 spins on the national station. At the same time, Sirius XM’s Hits 1 added the single to its playlist in July 2018 and it has now garnered more than 320 plays on the biggest pop station in the country. The single spent a month in the Top 40 airplay chart on Billboard some 15 months after its original release -10 million streams, 40,000 iTunes downloads and millions of YouTube views later…
