Nate Smith who was revealed yesterday as the Academy of Country Music’s New Male Artist of the Year, has today shared ‘Bulletproof (feat. Avril Lavigne)‘ which they will perform together at the Awards this evening in Frisco, Texas. The 59th ACM Awards, hosted by Reba McEntire, will be free to stream globally on Prime Video (no membership required) from 8pm ET (16 May) / 1am UK time (17 May).
Nate released his 7-track EP Through The Smoke last month via Sony Nashville. The project features his current US radio single ‘Bulletproof’ – #15 on the Billboard Country airplay chart this week, as well as 5 additional new songs and a cover of Nirvana’s ‘Heart Shaped Box’.
With over 1.3 billion career streams, Nate started 2024 dominating Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with a ten-week consecutive run at the top of the chart with his smash hit single ‘World On Fire‘, which has over 210 million global streams to date. This feat ties Morgan Wallen’s ‘You Proof’ for the longest run at No. 1 for his song ‘You Proof’ and marks Smith as the first artist to achieve this run with a second single at country radio and consecutive week run.
Only 19 songs went No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in 2023, two of which belong to Smith. Both ‘World on Fire’ and ‘Whiskey On You’ are featured on Nate’s self-titled debut album.
