New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rising Country music star and ACM "New Male Artist of the Year" winner, Parker McCollum, has taken over the top seat on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country charts with his second consecutive #1 single, "To Be Loved By You." The track immediately resonated with fans and skyrocketed up the charts since its release. In addition to landing his second career #1, Parker also made a childhood dream come true by performing to a sold out crowd at the famed RODEOHOUSTON this past weekend selling over 73,000 tickets.
"It'll be years before I truly look back and realize what happened this week," says McCollum. "I was nervous that all my hard work and sacrifice wouldn't be worth it in the long run. Well, after selling out RODEOHOUSTON and having my second #1 I can assure you all - it was damn worth it. Every single last bit of it was worth it."
