Multiple JUNO and CCMA award-winning entertainer Dallas Smith released his latest single Rhinestone World, today – on the heels of breaking another chart topping record.
Smith’s hit Make ‘Em Like You earned him his sixth career #1 and fifth consecutive chart-topper, crowning him as the Canadian Country artist with the most number one songs in the Nielsen BDS era – surpassing Shania Twain’s five.
Smith recently celebrated his third gold-certified album with the 2017 top-selling Canadian country album Side Effects, which also earned him the title of the first and only Canadian artist in both the Nielsen BDS and Mediabase era to have four consecutive #1 singles from the same album (Autograph, Side Effects, Sky Stays This Blue and Sleepin’ Around), besting Twain’s three from her 1997 album Come On Over.
This fall, Smith took home the trophy for both male artist of the year and video of the year (Sky Stays This Blue) at the 2018 CCMA Awards in Hamilton, Ont., adding to the three won in 2017 for top-selling Canadian album of the year, album of the year, and single of the year.
