LOCASH VAULT TO #1 AT COUNTRY RADIO WITH “HOMETOWN HOME”

LOCASH’s “Hometown Home” is now the #1 song on Country radio. Taking over airwaves, the buzzing single just vaulted to #1 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Airplay charts, notching the hitmakers’ fourth career #1. Prior, their PLATINUM breakout “I Love This Life” topped the MusicRow chart in 2015, GOLD-certified “I Know Somebody” led the airplay charts back in 2016, while the GOLD-certified “One Big Country Song” captured the top spot during 2020. This career milestone also marks the business savvy pair’s first #1 from the debut release on their label, Galaxy Label Group

LOCASH shared exclusively with Billboard, “Seeing ‘Hometown Home’ sitting at the top of the Billboard chart has been amazing in ways we couldn’t imagine. It's our first #1 since we went ‘all in’ and bet on ourselves and launched our own record label. We get to appreciate this #1 on so many levels...as writers, as artists, and as record label executives. This song is so special and so lyrically rich. It’s been epic watching it land on people’s hearts. It just feels different bringing this #1 HOME.”

Of course, “Hometown Home” paves the way for their fifth album, Bet The Farm out April 18 – pre-order/pre-save here. Pre-orders also grant instant download access to previously released tracks “Hometown Home,” “Buzzin,” “Isn’t She Country,” and “When I’m Older.” 

Stirring up even more excitement, LOCASH have recently taken over television with a series of high-profile performances and interviews. The guys dropped by CBS Mornings Plus for an in-depth and captivating interview about their momentous #1 single, upcoming album Bet The Farm, their journey together, and so much more. Plus, they are set to take the stage at Fox & Friends for a performance of their smash “Hometown Home.” Tune into Fox News Channel at 8:50 am local time tomorrow (4/8) to watch live. And an ABC News Live interview follows. Set to air between 7-8:30 pm local time tomorrow night (4/8), stream the TV appearance on Hulu, Roku, Disney+, the ABC News app and ABCnews.com.

Simultaneously, “Hometown Home” continues to surge on DSPs, cracking 4 MILLION-plus streams on Spotify and 1.9 MILLION YouTube views on the Official Visualizer. Resonating with listeners everywhere this year, it’s the kind of anthem that brings you back to where you belong no matter where you are now.

All eyes are on LOCASH. Teaming up with the Savannah Bananas, they took over Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL by headlining the first-ever Banana Ball Halftime Show at an NFL Stadium in March. Of the latter, MusicRow applauded how “the crew brought their undeniable energy to a sold-out crowd of 65,000 fans.” The Saint Anselm Crier hailed their set at Saint Anselm College as “an unforgettable night of high-energy performances and a true celebration of the country music spirit.” They also made an appearance on Talking Hits with Fitz.

Recently, they officially launched LOCASH’s “One Big Easter Egg Hunt.” Playing off the traditional hunt, LOCASH has expertly hidden 16 secret “Easter Eggs” within their Bet The Farm album cover. The lucky grand-prize winner will receive a private LOCASH concert in their hometown. HINT: look for all the “Things We Love.” For additional details and to participate, visit here.

Bet The Farm stands out as LOCASH’s most personal, passionate, and poignant body of work to date. The duo’s Chris Lucas and Preston Brust thread messages of resilience, determination, belief, and positivity into the LP’s musical tapestry of arena-ready Country and classic songcraft uplifted by Pop ambition and Rock ‘n’ Roll grit. 

Ultimately, LOCASH have written a soundtrack to persevering no matter what, treasuring what you’ve got, loving unconditionally, keeping the faith, and living your truth. Check out the full tracklisting below.

ABOUT LOCASH:
A PLATINUM-selling duo who play by their own rulebook, LOCASH make feel-good Country music with a small-town spirit and big-time impact. Due out this spring, the brand-new album from singer/songwriters Preston Brust and Chris Lucas will feature fan favorites like “Isn’t She Country” and “Buzzin” alongside the just-released “When I’m Older,” adding to a hit-stacked catalog that already includes their 2015 PLATINUM breakout “I Love This Life,” GOLD #1s “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody,” eight chart-climbing singles, and over 1 BILLION global streams. In a bright start to the new year, the Nashville duo appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America in January and performed their now #1 Country radio single “Hometown Home,” a carefree anthem that marked the first release from their very own Galaxy Label Group. Launched last year and distributed by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the one-of-a-kind record label allows Brust and Lucas to maintain complete creative control over their music while mentoring a whole new generation of like-minded stars. LOCASH’s bold and soulful brand of Country has garnered nominations from the genre’s biggest award shows and earned raves from the likes of American Songwriter (who praised the duo for “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs”).  After wrapping up a jam-packed 2024 — whose highlights included teaming up with Monster Jam to create their own limited-edition die-cast truck and playing stadiums all over the country as support for Kane Brown’s IN THE AIR TOUR — LOCASH are now gearing up for a nonstop year of in-demand headline shows and major festival appearances.
