2015 has been the biggest year of Thomas Rhett’s career so far, culminating with his #1 hit, “Die a Happy Man,” which ended up being a six-week #1 song for him. Thomas says, “It just feels different. It doesn’t feel like I’m just puttin’ songs out to put songs out, it feels like I’m puttin’ out with a purpose and that’s translating into ticket sales and that’s translating into album sales and downloads and that kinda stuff. So, it’s just nice to see your fan base growin’ and people being engaged with you on social media, and all that kinda stuff.”
Thomas says 2015 was a year for the history books, and he hopes that 2016 will be even bigger. He’s starting things off with a brand new single, “T-shirt,” off his ACM Award nominated album, Tangled Up.

“Yeah, this is definitely the biggest, the biggest year of my career. As big as ‘Crash and Burn’ was, and now ‘Die A Happy Man’ gettin’ all the crazy attention that it’s gettin’. It’s like…it just feels different. It doesn’t feel like I’m just puttin’ songs out to put songs out, it feels like I’m puttin’ out with a purpose and that’s translating into ticket sales and that’s translating into album sales and downloads and that kinda stuff. So, it’s just nice to see your fan base growin’ and people being engaged with you on social media, and all that kinda stuff. It’s just, it’s been a year for the books and hopefully it continues to keep on gettin’ bigger.”
