It has been a huge week for country music newcomer William Michael Morgan, who not only released his debut album, Vinyl, but also notched his first No.1 with his debut single “I Met A Girl.”

“Wow. We did it! What a dream come true,” said the crooner. “After 58 weeks of clawing and fighting and believing and trusting in our radio promo team, my management Joe Carter and Mike Taliaferro, the entire Warner Music Nashville team, country radio, the fans, my producers Jimmy Ritchey and Scott Hendricks, my family and friends for undying and unwavering support, and most importantly the good Lord above… I am proud and most importantly honored to announce my gratitude and many thanks to everyone involved in this most special moment in my life, and in my career! Here’s to this number 1and hopefully many more to come. God bless all of you. And God bless country music!”

“This song truly paves the way for William Michael and the joyful traditional sound to get back on the airwaves,” says John Esposito, Chairman and CEO of Warner Music Nashville. “This historic run proves the tenacity of artist development, which is the cornerstone of how our label rolls!”

“I Met A Girl” spent 58 weeks at radio and 49 weeks on the Mediabase/Aircheck charts, marking the longest chart run to No.1 in the chart’s history. The song was co-written by Shane McAnally, Sam Hunt and Old Dominion’s Trevor Rosen.
