SAM HUNT ‘INSTANTLY INSPIRED’ BY WEBB PIERCE TRACK<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nSam Hunt<\/strong>‘s latest hit, “Hard To Forget,” was written around a sample of a\u00a0Webb Pierce<\/strong>\u00a0song that his co-writer,\u00a0Luke Laird<\/strong>, brought to him. They were in a writing session working on something else when Luke mentioned this sample and offered to play it for Sam. They stopped everything and listened, and as Sam tells us EXCLUSIVELY, they immediately set out to write the song that would showcase this bit of music.\u00a0[“He pulled it up and he played it and I was just instantly inspired by it and instantly knew that we had to write a song to that track and he essentially has sampled the Webb Pierce song. I’d been looking for the perfect sample and that was it. As soon as I heard it I knew it was the one, but I can’t take credit for it. That was Luke’s idea.”]<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nCHRIS JANSON IS HAVING THE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS HE DREAMED OF <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nChris Janson<\/strong>\u00a0is climbing the charts with what he hopes will be his career fourth Number One hit with “Done.” He reached the goal that he and his wife and manager,\u00a0Kelly<\/strong>, had set of charting three Number Ones with “Good Vibes,” and now Chris tells us he hopes to continue this streak of commercial success, the only thing that really matters to him.\u00a0[“I just remember sitting with Kelly years ago. We were like, ‘Man, if we could just get three Number Ones. We’d really turn the corner,’ so now we’re here and we’re stringing them together and I feel like the stronger you get like that the better odds you have so I’m hoping ‘Done’ will do that for us, and I’ve said it from the beginning — all I ever wanted to be was on the radio, so I’m getting to do that and I’m getting to do it in a big way and commercial success is the only thing I ever wanted ever. I really don’t care about the other parts of it as much.”]<\/p>\n“Done” is the second single from Chris’s 2019\u00a0Real Friends\u00a0<\/em>album. He wrote it about his wife.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
