Justin Moore’s latest single, “Somebody Else Will,” is about to break into the top 20 on the charts, and looks to be well on its way to being his next big hit of his nearly decade-long career. Justin admits when he first moved to Nashville, he had visions of conquering the world. He says, “When I moved to town I think, probably not unlike anybody else who moves to town, I wanted to be the biggest star in this town, to sell more records than Garth Brooks and have more number ones than George Strait, and those were my goals. And at the time I had no idea how to even scratch the surface of achieving them.”
These days, Justin still hopes to continue to build his career and enjoy years of growth and success, but he’s also adjusted his goals based on the career he had built thus far. He is less focused on toppling records set by Garth Brooks or George Strait and he says, “I don’t know if it’s age or I don’t know if it’s the amount of time I’ve spent in this business, those have changed for me. If those things happen that would be fantastic. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and where we are in our career. And like I said if those things come with what we do naturally that’s fantastic. But I think my goal now is just to make the best music I can make. I’m excited to just see how far we can go in this business but I want to do it in a way where we’re not chasing something. I want to do it by, you know, the music that I’m passionate about and that my fans are passionate about.”
Justin just wrapped up his co-headlining tour with Lee Brice, and now he’ll play some fairs and festivals throughout the summer and focus on the arrival of his fourth child with his wife Kate, who is due in June.

But if it doesn’t I’d be proud either way.”
