“The response to the song from fans has been overwhelming and having another No. 1 hit is the greatest feeling in the world!” exclaimed Moore upon hearing about his success at radio. “I love making music and the recent reactions my fans have had toward the single and the album allows me to keep on doing what I love.”

Scott Borchetta, President/CEO of the Big Machine Label Group adds, “Justin’s ever growing fan base has stood up to be counted! His fantastic first week album debut and the #1 airplay for Heaven, along with bang up business on the road with Rascal Flatts, has shown that Justin’s ascending star is something that must be reckoned with. I’m sure that industry acknowledgement is not far away.”
