Zach Bryan is only the third solo country artist to have a song reach one billion streams on Spotify.

Zach Bryan’s “Something In The Orange” has exceeded an impressive one billion streams on Spotify, a feat achieved by only a few country artists.

Notably, Chris Stapleton became the second solo country singer to reach this mark with his rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey.” Before him, Morgan Wallen was the first solo country artist to achieve over one billion streams with his hit “Last Night.”

Other country tracks that have reached this milestone include Dan + Shay’s collaboration with Justin Bieber, “10,000 Hours,” and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant to Be” with Bebe Rexha.

While the song explores themes of longing and heartache, it was actually inspired by a beautiful sunset Bryan once saw.

“Everyone thinks it was over some deep, dark thing, and it was just me in a cabin in Wisconsin,” Bryan once shared. “I thought about the word ‘orange’ and I was watching the sunset and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a cool story to tell in a song.'”

Additionally, the success of “Something In The Orange” propelled Bryan to the number one spot on the Billboard Top Songwriters chart in mid-2022. The song was later certified Platinum in July 2023.
