Everything happens for a reason, so it’s no wonder that Jon Pardi found out that his song, “Head Over Boots,” went No. 1 in one of the craziest cities in the world: Las Vegas.

The country star was living it up in Sin City for a radio show he was putting on and got the phone call from Nashville that he was on the top. He and friends definitely used that as an excuse to crank the party notch up a little bit higher that night.

“Sometimes, the music world puts you in the right place at the right time. Vegas! I was in Las Vegas when I found out we were at No. 1 and we were doing a radio show down there. Cole Swindell and Brett Young were there and we all got to celebrate. The band came onstage and champagne was brought out and we had a great time in Vegas that night. That’s where I was,” he told Sounds Like Nashville and other media at his No. 1 celebration.

While it took a bit of time to raise the single to the top spot and there were doubts here and there, Pardi was thrilled yet relieved to know that his hard work paid off in the end.

“You know there’s always that little one percent ‘Is it gonna do it?’ But once we found out the charts closed, it was like 10 o’clock there. We were already partying, but it was a good time in Las Vegas,” he said.

Following up the success of “Head Over Boots,” Pardi is sending out his second single, “Dirt on my Boots,” to country radio. Both tracks are featured on his current album, California Sunrise, which is available now.
