“Just the Way,” Parmalee's collaboration with Blanco Brown, tops both the Billboard and Mediabase Country radio charts in the US and Canada this week. This is Parmalee’s second chart-topper, the first being their 2013 hit “Carolina.” This marks Blanco’s first Number One on Country radio.
Parmalee lead singer and “Just The Way” co-writer Matt Thomas said, “Having ‘Just the Way’ go No. 1 is amazing! As an artist or writer, all you can hope for is that your music connects with people and makes them feel something. We’re proud to be a part of something that has been able to spread positivity throughout the world, especially over the past year. Thank you to our fans, Country radio and everyone on all platforms who believed in us and have helped us spread the message behind this song.”
Blanco said, “I have to thank my Parmalee boys for believing in me, supporting me and allowing me to share my purpose with them—it’s been quite the journey but we did it, boys!!! This song and this message going No. 1 is another beautiful blessing, I am so grateful to all of you that helped lead me to this incredible moment.”
The number one coincides with Matt's birthday, which was yesterday (Monday, March 15th).
“Just The Way” is platinum in Canada and has garnered more than 150 million on-demand streams in the U.S. alone.
