Following his signing to Big Loud Records,[3] Morgan Wallen achieved back-to-back number-ones on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with his platinum-certified[16] hits "Whiskey Glasses" and "Up Down" featuring Florida Georgia Line.[17] The Big Loud Records roster also includes singer/songwriter HARDY, viral sensation Mason Ramsey,[18] and newcomer Sean Stemaly.[19] Stacy Blythe, Vice-President of Promotion, was awarded the SVP-VP/Promotion trophy at the 2019 CRS/Country Aircheck Awards.[20]
