Randy Houser's “Song Number 7” Rocks Country Radio
Second single from new album, Fired Up, reels in Houser's highest first week add total to date with 60 first week reporters as he prepares to hit the road for the
2016 Somewhere On A Beach Tour with Dierks Bentley
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Still fresh from landing his fourth No. 1 with “We Went” and releasing his new album, Fired Up, Randy Houser shows no signs of slowing down as his new single,“Song Number 7,” arrived at country radio yesterday, March 28. The catchy earworm is the second most-added song at country radio with 60 first week reporters, marking Houser's highest first week add total to date. Fans and critics have also latched on to the new single, with the New York Times noting that “Song Number 7” is “likely to be one of the best country songs of this year” and Taste of Country calling it “the finest single representative of [Houser’s] Fired Up album. It’s a big country power ballad that leans progressive, but stops short of crossing a bridge that leaves traditional country behind. Above all else, ‘Song Number 7’ is a vocal showcase.” Download “Song Number 7” at http://geni.us/firedup and watch the lyric video here. Written by Justin Wilson, Ben Hayslip and Chris Janson, “Song Number 7” is rooted in “a familiar country conceit: music about the power of music” (New York Times), which Houser has also nodded to in his own writing such as the deep cut “Power Of A Song” from his previous record, How Country Feels.
