With a career poised to skyrocket, Tenpenny is set to release his debut album, Telling All My Secrets on Dec. 14. The Nashville native with an outlier’s tenacity is celebrating his first RIAA Gold-certified single with “Drunk Me,” which is ready to enter the Top 10 and currently resides at No. 12 on Mediabase/Country Aircheck and No. 11 on BDS Billboard Country Airplay charts. The song has surpassed 500,000 certifiable units in the U.S.

And Vevo isn’t the only tastemaker touting Tenpenny’s unique style. Billboard also predicted his  breakout success noting, “Whether it’s the desperation in ‘Drunk Me,’ the acidic revenge in ‘Bitches’ or the lack of self-control in ‘Alcohol You Later,’ he approaches a microphone with a biting ferocity.”
