With a voice rooted in tradition and lyrics that speak straight to the heart, Riley Green has notched another major milestone in his steadily rising career. His latest single “Worst Way” has officially claimed the No. 1 spot on not one, but four major airplay charts: Billboard Country Airplay, Mediabase Country Airplay, UK Country Radio Airplay, and Mediabase Canada Country Airplay. The feat marks Green’s fifth career chart-topper and his newest multi-PLATINUM certified hit.

“Worst Way” isn’t just another No. 1, it’s a standout in modern country history. Written entirely by Green himself, the emotional ballad becomes only the second solo-written track to top Billboard’s Country Airplay chart since 2012, placing Green among just six solo artists to do so in the last two decades. In an era where co-writing rooms dominate Music Row, the success of “Worst Way” is a rare, refreshing reminder of the power of a singular voice telling its own story.

“Worst Way” first found its legs online earlier this year with a viral music video that catapulted the track to global recognition. What began as a raw, vulnerable performance quickly turned into a streaming juggernaut and, as of today, a double PLATINUM anthem beloved by fans across borders.

But Green isn’t slowing down.

In celebration of his chart-topping success, the Alabama native has announced the return of his fan-favorite “Duckman Jam,” taking place November 22 in Little Rock, Arkansas. The outdoor event will feature performances from country stalwarts Jamey Johnson, Drake White, and Lauren Watkins. In keeping with Green’s love of the outdoors, he’s once again teaming up with Ducks Unlimited to donate $5 from every ticket sold to wetland conservation across North America.

Tickets for “Duckman Jam” go on sale to the public Friday, June 20 at 10am local time, with artist presales beginning Tuesday, June 17.

And for fans in the West, there’s more. Green will wrap up his headlining Damn Country Music Tour with a pair of newly added Las Vegas shows at the height of National Finals Rodeo weekend on December 12 and 13. Presales for those shows also begin June 17, with general on-sale set for Friday, June 20 at 10am PT.

With heartfelt songwriting, unmatched authenticity, and a loyal fanbase that grows with every verse, Riley Green continues to blaze his own path, one that’s now topped with platinum plaques and packed-out arenas. And judging by the momentum behind “Worst Way,” he’s just getting started.
