Ernest has scored his fourth #1 as a songwriter with ‘Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s’ recorded by Sam Hunt.
Singer-songwriter ERNEST has scored his fourth #1 hit this week with Sam Hunt’s “Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90’s.” Previously Ernest had credits on #1s including “I Love My Country” (Florida Georgia Line), “More Than My Hometown” (Morgan Wallen) and “Big, Big Plans” (Chris Lane), fast becoming one of Music City’s most sought-after songwriters, while carving his own path as a country artist.
Having co-written 11 tracks on Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album, plus Lane’s current single “Fill Them Boots,” ERNEST’s impact is now extending beyond Music Row with writer credits on ZAYN’s “Tightrope” and his buzz-inducing collaboration with Diplo on “Bottle’s Bout Dead.” Racking up hardware, he scored a 3X PLATINUM smash with Diplo and Wallen’s hit “Heartless,” plus the Young Thug and Mason Ramsey remix of Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ 14X PLATINUM “Old Town Road.”
Known for his distinctive lyricism and vocal flow, new music is coming soon for ERNEST as he follows up the hand-on-your-heart anthem, “Cheers,” a timeless toast that built on the lifelong Nashville native’s 2019 debut Locals Only (Big Loud Records).
Now a first-time father, ERNEST and his wife, Delaney, welcomed son Ryman Saint, born April 27. Read more in the PEOPLE.com exclusive here.
