Florida Georgia Line is incredibly grateful for their career, and they’re always quick to thank their fans for making it possible, but they also say their relationship with country radio is a vital part of their career that they never take for granted. “Bein’ on the radio, havin’ our songs spun and havin’ that support is a dream come true,” says Brian Kelley. “We grew up on Country Radio, it’s so special to us and we wanna continue to work hard to maintain that relationship with our radio friends, they’re incredible. They’ve given us a great platform to allow people to hear our music.”
Thanks to country radio Florida Georgia Line has watched their first six singles climb to #1 on the chart, and they’re hoping their seventh release, “Sun Daze,” will do the same thing.
