“When I first wrote these songs, I didn’t know it would be changing my life this much. And I truly have the fans to thank,” Tucker shares in a release. “Thank you so much for changing my life every single day! It’s such an honor. Here’s to hopefully many more.”

“Having a song go Platinum this year is insane … so keep streaming ‘Austin!"” adds Dasha.
