CURRENT SINGLE: “The Worst Country Song of All Time”
Brantley Gilbert has two small children, his son Barrett who is three, and his daughter Braylen who is one and a half, so we figured there must be a song or a movie or a TV show that he has seen or heard so many times that he can’t stand it anymore, and he does. Without hesitation, Brantley said, “‘Baby Shark.’ Just when I started gettin’ tired of it, my one year-old picked it up and started singin’ it.”
Fortunately, watching his daughter get excited and eventually start to try to sing along with the “do-do-do-do-do-do,” made the song less annoying for Brantley, because he says, “You know, that’s cute all over again. So it’s like, okay, I’m not mad about it.”
Of course, knowing how many times “Baby Shark” has been played in his house alone, and knowing what a worldwide phenomenon it is, the businessman in Brantley came out and he said, “I want to know who wrote that and who has the publishin’ on ‘Baby Shark.’”
Brantley wanted to know, because he could only imagine how much that silly little song has generated. As of early 2020, it’s estimated that “Baby Shark” has generated over $125 million in profits.
