TRIPLE TIGERS RECORDS CELEBRATES TWO UK TOP FIVE SINGLES THIS WEEK WITH RUSSELL DICKERSON & SCOTTY McCREERY
Dickerson’s global hit ‘Happen To Me’ sits at #2 climbing from #7 last week
McCreery’s ‘Bottle Rockets’ (feat. Hootie & The Blowfish) climbs to #5 within three weeks on chart, following sellout UK tour dates in May
LONDON, U.K. – Nashville-based independent label Triple Tigers Records – the home of Russell Dickerson, Scotty McCreery, Jordan Fletcher and Shane Profitt – is celebrating a major international milestone this week with two of its standout artists, Dickerson and McCreery, both landing in the Top 5 of the UK Country Airplay Chart – as announced by Holler and Absolute Radio Country.
Dickerson’s global smash ‘Happen To Me’ has soared to the #2 spot, jumping from #7 last week, while McCreery’s energetic collaboration ‘Bottle Rockets’ featuring Hootie & The Blowfish, climbs to #5 after just three weeks on the chart.
“Triple Tigers is excited that we’ve found such a wide audience in the UK with both Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery’s new singles” says Triple Tigers’ Co-President Annie Ortmeier. “The expansion of Country music globally is a direct reflection of the fans that love this music and our partners in the respective markets who continue to support our artists to bring it to them. We thank you all and promise there is more to come!”
The chart success follows McCreery’s UK headline tour in May, which included packed, high-energy shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast and Birmingham, further cementing his popularity with British audiences. The momentum was further amplified by the release of his Seasons Change: Platinum Edition album last Friday, a special reissue eight years after original record, featuring fan favourites like ‘Five More Minutes’ alongside new material, offering a fresh look at the album that first solidified McCreery’s place as a leading voice in modern country music.
Dickerson’s ‘Happen To Me’ has become a major career milestone as his biggest streaming debut to date — surpassing 100 million streams, breaking into the Top 20 on U.S. country radio, and continuing its climb on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Adding to the excitement, he recently announced his highly anticipated fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME, set for release on August 22. The 12-track collection, available now for pre-order, pre-save, and pre-add across all digital platforms, showcases his fearless evolution as an artist and storyteller, blending genre-defying creativity with emotional depth.

Multi-Platinum artist and all-in performer Russell Dickerson made a name for himself as an “ace songwriter” (Billboard) full of “unstoppable energy fans can’t get enough of” (E! News). After bursting onto the scene, the Tennessee native quickly stood out by releasing four consecutive career-launching singles that each reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

In 2023, he scored his fifth No. 1 hit with “God Gave Me A Girl,” followed by the release of “Good Day to Have a Great Day,” “Bones” and his latest single “Happen To Me” which marked the biggest debut of his career, notching over 9 million global streams in the first week. Known for his electric performances, Dickerson will hit the road this year on the RUSSELLMANIA TOUR 2025, extending into amphitheaters this summer and fall, with direct support from Jake Scott and Niko Moon on select dates.
