3x GRAMMY-winning duo Dan + Shay continue to etch a permanent mark on country music – and beyond – with the release of the duos highly anticipated fifth studio album, Bigger Houses, co-produced by the band’s Dan Smyers and Scott Hendricks, which released worldwide September 15, 2023, via Warner Music Nashville.
The Bigger Houses lead-off “anthemic” [Rolling Stone Country] single “Save Me The Trouble,” notched Dan + Shay’s TENTH No. 1 at Country radio, reaching the top of the chart in January 2024, sixth months after arriving on the airwaves with the most adds (134) for the week. The fanfare arrival of the hit-song marked Dan + Shay’s largest career add day ever, in addition to being the highest Country Aircheck debut since June 2022. In April 2024 the video for “Save Me the Trouble” received the 2024 CMT Music Award for Duo/Group Video of the Year.
The long-awaited new music follows the duo’s record-shattering, critically acclaimed, and multi-award-winning album, Good Things. Also co-produced by Smyers, the highly imaginative LP featured their most recent country radio No. 1’s – the Platinum-certified hits “I Should Probably Go To Bed” and 2x Platinum “Glad You Exist,” which marked the duo’s sixth consecutive No.1 and ninth career No.1, as well as the 5x Multi-Platinum global smash “10,000 Hours” with Justin Bieber which crossed the 1 BILLION streams mark on Spotify, alone, in December 2023. In addition, the Platinum-certified album Good Things was the first country album in the streaming era to achieve RIAA Gold certification at release and is one of the only 12 albums all-genre to be released and go Gold in 2021.
In spring 2024 Dan + Shay lent their talent as the first-ever coaching duo for season 25 of NBC’s Emmy-winning program The Voice. The celebrated duo joined Reba McEntire, John Legend and Chance the Rapper. In addition to their performing talent and experience, the pair brought a wealth of experience to their team, with a long list of impressive accolades that include becoming the first and only artist to win the GRAMMY Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance 3x consecutively since the category’s inception (2021 – “10,000 Hours,” 2020 – “Speechless,” 2019 – “Tequila”).
The reigning Favorite Country Duo or Group winners claimed their 3rd consecutive win for the category at the American Music Awards (2022), where they began their streak by sweeping their categories in 2020, becoming the first country artist ever to win Collaboration of the Year. In addition, the 2x CMA Awards Duo of the Year, 4x ACM Awards Duo of the Year, and 2x PCCA Group/Duo of the Year were named Top Country Duo/Group at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.
In the 12+ years since they formed, Dan + Shay have become global superstars amassing nearly 13 BILLION streams globally, 139 worldwide career Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold sales certifications to date, including 60 US RIAA and 79 international awards.
