Solo-Written Hit Single “23” Earns RIAA-Platinum Status,
Surges toward Top 15 at Country Radio
Vocal powerhouse, prolific songwriter and American Idol winner Chayce Beckham made his Grand Ole Opry debut last night (10/18), performing his now RIAA-certified PLATINUM single “23” that’s entirely self written and currently Top 20 at radio, along with the tender ballad “Till The Day I Die” to a packed-out audience. After his performance, Beckham was then surprised on stage with the song’s platinum plaque by his mom, Windie Peterson, and manager, Kerri Edwards.
“Last night, so many dreams came true because of music,” said Beckham. “It’s been a long, long road, and I’d like to thank everyone who has been on it with me. It’s hard not to be emotional when something you have been working so hard at comes to fruition, and the people who got you there can hand you the award for it on the biggest stage in Country music. Because of my family, my team, and my fans, I got to step foot into the Circle and sing at the Grand Ole Opry. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
