Nate Smith has scored his third No. 1 single at country radio with “Bulletproof” for the second consecutive week. The single, which was written by Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson and Hunter Phelps, has given Smith his third consecutive multi-week No. 1 record on the Mediabase chart. The historic feat marks Smith as the first artist to start their career to have three consecutive multi-week No. 1 records in R&R/Media base history.

“Bulletproof” is one of seven songs featured on Nate Smith’s ‘Through The Smoke EP,’ and follows the record-breaking No. 1 record “World On Fire,” which spent 10 consecutive weeks on top of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart and three weeks on top of the Mediabase chart. Nate’s first No. 1 single “Whiskey On You” also spent two weeks atop the Mediabase chart and one week on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

Smith shares: “When I write and record music, I genuinely do it for me. I try to make music that I would want to listen to! Maybe it will connect with other people and maybe it won’t. So, you can imagine having three songs that have gone number one, truly feels like a massive honor. Radio has really given me a chance and I’m grateful for all the lifelong friendships I have built with them and continue to foster. There are so many new artists, so I do believe this is a miracle. Number ones allow me take better care of my teams and my family! I never thought in a million years this would be a possibility for me, but here we are. I thank God for pulling me out of the wreckage and letting me be a vessel, to bring hopeful songs to the hearts of people. I guess it truly is never too late to follow your dreams especially when it lines up with His will.”

Smith is also gearing up for his 2024 Through The Smoke headlining fall tour. The 16-city trek will kick off on September 19th in Portland, OR and end in Nashville, TN on December 5th.
