Thomas Rhett just celebrated his 10th #1 song of his career with “Marry Me,” but he’ll still never forget the first time he heard one of his songs on the radio. As he recalls it, “The first time I heard my song on the radio was driving from L.A. to Vegas. It was my first single, ‘Somethin’ To Do With My Hands,’ feels like ages ago. But me and my radio rep, George Briner, were driving – and it’s like a four or five hour drive – and one of the stations we were driving through told us they were going to play it because they knew we were in the car and they did.”
While he didn’t specify in his story, we’re pretty sure Thomas freaked out when he heard one of his songs on the radio for the first time because he says, “That video actually still exists somewhere on my ancient computer from high school that I need to go dig up and find.”
It won’t be long before Thomas starts hearing his brand new song, and the title track from his latest album, “Life Changes,” on the radio.
