Setting up to be a big year for the rising independent country artist.
After garnering massive success in 2023, Sam Barber kicked off the new year with a pretty big achievement – his first ever gold certified record.
As of today, January 3rd, “Straight and Narrow” has officially sold 500,000 units, earning a gold. certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.
Straight and Narrow is by far Barber’s most popular song to date. With over 107 million streams on Spotify alone, the track garnered a ton of attention on social media, especially on TikTok where the young artist currently sits at almost a million followers at just 20 years old.
Sam also made his Grand Ole Opry debut back in September, and considering his first official headlining concert was only three months prior to taking center stage where so many greats have performed before him, I’d say that’s one hell of an accomplishment.
Barber also recently announced the “Till I Return Tour,” set to kick off on February 22nd in Chattanooga, Tennessee. You can view all 30 tour dates here.
