Jake Owen Celebrates Unprecedented Start For New Single I WAS JACK (YOU WERE DIANE)

Big Loud recording artist Jake Owen has a lot to celebrate because of the tremendous support from country radio for his new single "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)." Over 130 monitored chart-reporting country radio stations added his new song on or before it's official impact date (TODAY), marking an unprecedented start to a new single in Jake's career to date. "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)" is the most-added record at country radio for a second consecutive week.

"I'm so ecstatic about the launch of this new music and single," says Owen. "Big Loud Records has done an incredible job launching this new project for me and believing in who I am and what kind of music I'm drawn to make. Joey Moi, once again, helped elevate the song to a whole other level, and we are all fired up about this start to a great 2018. Thanks country radio for believing in me!"

"Jake delivered a huge record and country radio showed up big for us," adds Stacy Blythe, Big Loud's National Promotion Director. "134 stations by add date is a debut we couldn't even imagine. I'm very proud of this Big Loud family and this is just the start!"

Clay Hunnicutt, President of Big Loud Records, expresses, "Thank you to everyone who has helped Jake and the Big Loud team get off to such an amazing start. This far exceeded our expectations. There's a proven track record that Jake and Joey Moi make great music together, so we really shouldn't be surprised."

"I Was Jack (You Were Diane)" was an iHeart World Premiere, and Sirius XM's "The Highway" blasted it out of the gate. The new nostalgic single is garnering attention from digital media partners as well. Jake graced the cover of Spotify's Hot Country playlist, featuring "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)." Also, the song topped Amazon Music's Fresh Country playlist and was added to Apple Music's A-List Country playlist, as well as, Pandora's New Country Now playlist.

In addition, Owen's 2018 "Life's Whatcha Make It Tour" kicks off on May 15th in Chattanooga, TN, at AT&T Field, with special guest Chris Janson and rising star Jordan Davis. The majority of shows will take place at baseball stadiums across the country. Check it out HERE. Tickets on sale NOW.
