Country music superstar Cole Swindell released his fifth studio album, Stereotype, to massive success. The project charted three back-to-back, Platinum-certified, multi-week No. 1 hits: “Single Saturday Night,” “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) and, most recently, his five-week chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” which has garnered five ACM Award nominations.

He released a special duet remix of his smash “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” featuring Jo Dee Messina.
