NASHVILLE, TN. (Top40 Charts) Breakout country duo
Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney) impressively debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Albums Chart today with their highly anticipated album, Where It All Began, making them the only duo in SoundScan reported history to debut at No. 1 with their first album on the Country Albums Chart and the highest charting debut artists of 2014. Released April 1st on Warner Bros. Records, the top honor follows a stellar release week including performances on Good Morning
America and The
Ellen DeGeneres Show, showcasing their hit single "
19 You + Me" which has already sold almost 500,000 tracks and is nearly Top 10. While the debut single was recently featured as a "Hot
Music Download" in the new issue of People Country and called out to "equal success" in their USA Today "On The Verge" feature, the pair also celebrated the release of Where It All Began with features on CNN,
Access Hollywood, GAC, People, Billboard and more. The ACM Award Nominees recently joined
Hunter Hayes on tour through May, stopping last week to perform as the only new artist on the sold-out iHeart
Radio festival in Austin, continuing on the road in June with
Blake Shelton.
Named an "act that will help define 2014" by Billboard,
Dan + Shay wrote every song on their album, as well, the album was produced by Smyers and co-produced by Scott Hendricks and
Danny Orton.
