After selling out three consecutive nights at the historic Ryman Auditorium, Warner Music Nashville’s Ashley McBryde was surprised with a Platinum plaque for her single, “One Night Standards.”
“Gold & Platinum certifications are earned by the best of the best and reflect the deepest connection between artists and fans,” says Jackie Jones, RIAA. “Over the last two years, only twenty songs released in country music have gone Platinum and only three of those were by female artists, making Ashley’s achievement even more special and profound. It was an honor to be able to be there in person to congratulate Ashley McBryde for this incredible accomplishment!”
The three stops were a part of her “This Town Talks Tour,” which will crisscross the country through January 2022.
