Blanco Brown, the mastermind behind the global hit, “The Git Up” today announces the music video for the viral sensation will premiere Friday, September 13th across Viacom platforms (CMT, MTV Live, MTVU, BET Soul, Nick Music and Viacom Times Square billboard). In advance of the premiere, Blanco will perform “The Git Up” at halftime during the Thursday Night Football game between the Panthers and Buccaneers.
The world got its first taste of Blanco’s work as an artist with the global smash, “The Git Up,” which is Top 20 on the Top 40 radio chart and remains the top-selling digital Country song in the United States this week (via Nielsen Music) for its 11th week and has claimed the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, for nine weeks. The viral track was shared on April 26 via SoundCloud, along with a social video of Blanco performing the dance which has since spawned nearly 3 billion viral views and millions of user-generated videos using #TheGitUpChallenge.
The music video for the song is a joyful celebration of the original dance, infused with some familiar faces that supported “The Git Up” as it took the world by storm.
