Koe Wetzel has been putting out music since 2015 and it’s crazy to think how he’s never charted a song on Billboard. Even with the streaming success, selling out massive shows and having known headliners open shows for him.
That’s all changed now. The man with “February 28, 2016” as a known national holiday is officially a Billboard Hot 100-charting hitmaker as of right now. His new single from his upcoming,”9 Lives”, album “Sweet Dreams” debuts on the chart dated June 1 at No. 47.
Koe delivered the song May 17th courtesy of YellaBush/Columbia Records. The numbers started rolling in at that point. The song debuted with 10.9 million official streams and 3,000 downloads sold in the U.S. in the week ending May 23, according to Luminate. It also showed up at No. 11 on the Hot Country Songs chart, becoming Wetzel’s seventh entry and first top 20 hit.
That’s how you want things to go with your new music. Easier said than done though. In Koe’s case. He got it done.
