Dan + Shay are ringing in the New Year with an epic celebration as their Grammy-nominated single, “Bigger Houses,” climbs to the top of the country radio charts. This marks the duo’s 11th career No. 1, kicking off 2025 on the highest of notes for the 3x GRAMMY Award-winning pair.

The duo shared their excitement with fans on social media, proclaiming, “BIGGER HOUSES IS OFFICIALLY #1 AT COUNTRY RADIO.” But this isn’t just another hit for Dan + Shay—this one feels personal.

“Anytime you get to ring the bell, it’s a career highlight and a huge win to celebrate with everyone involved, but this song is extra special for so many reasons. Not only is it the title track to the album that saved our band, but it is a message of gratitude and appreciation that has truly inspired the way we live. Knowing that this song has resonated with so many people, like it has with us, is the ultimate validation," the duo shared.

Co-written with longtime collaborators Andy Albert, Jordan Reynolds, and Jordan Minton, “Bigger Houses” was the final song written for their latest album—and what a finale it’s become! The song’s heartfelt message and stripped-down production stand out as a refreshing reminder that happiness isn’t found in material things but in appreciating what you already have.

A Song That Hits Home

The song’s chorus says it all:

There’s always gonna be a higher high

You could chase for the rest of your life

Greener grass in the yard next door

Or a shined-up Chevy little newer than yours...

The deeply relatable lyrics have struck a chord with fans, making it a standout anthem of gratitude and perspective.

A Win for the Whole Team

Dan + Shay didn’t hold back their gratitude while celebrating this milestone. They gave heartfelt thanks to their Warner Music Nashville team for championing a song with “no drums or shiny production” and to country radio for taking a chance on something refreshingly different. Most importantly, they thanked their fans, whose unwavering support has fueled every high and low in their career.

The duo reflected on how the song resonated during their tour, sharing, “Sitting on top of that house and hearing you sing these words back to us every night on tour was something we will never forget.”

Starting 2025 on a High Note

With this monumental achievement, Dan + Shay are setting the tone for what promises to be an incredible year. Whether it’s racking up accolades, celebrating with their fans, or delivering more unforgettable moments, one thing is clear—this duo knows how to make every moment count.

Here’s to “Bigger Houses,” 11 No. 1s, and a 2025 that’s already shining bright for Dan + Shay. Cheers to the music that brings us all together!
