NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Grammy-nominated multi-platinum country music superstar Cole Swindell recently earned his 11th career No. 1 single with his current hit, the duet with ACM Top New Female Artist of the Year Lainey Wilson, “Never Say Never.”
The powerhouse duet reached No. 1 on both Mediabase and Billboard country singles charts in just 23 weeks. It is the follow-up to Swindell’s multiweek No. 1 “Single Saturday Night.” The back-to-back No. 1 singles are on his recently released fourth album, “Stereotype.”
Swindell and Wilson performed “Never Say Never” on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and later that same evening delivered a rain-drenched performance of the duet live on the CMT Music Awards on the CBS Television Network and on-demand on Paramount+.
“Never Say Never” has been a hit with fans since its debut and was the most added song at country radio the week of release, giving both Swindell and Wilson their biggest radio add day of their careers. The single, written by Swindell, Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill, immediately received rave media reviews including E! Online exclaiming, “If there’s one duet country music fans should listen to this weekend, we found it.”
“Stereotype,” produced by Zach Crowell, Chris LaCorte, Jordan Schmidt and Michael Carter, highlights Swindell as a hit-making songwriter across the project, writing seven of the album’s 13 tracks. “Stereotype” is available now all digital retailers.
