Need You Now

The upset would mark the first time in more than a decade that the Grammys rewarded a country artist with ROTY.

Lady A and 'Need You Now' was last in 2011.

And Langley's hit has broken numerous chart records, including becoming the longest-running number one song in Billboard Hot 100 history.

It arrives at a time when the genre's sales and streaming numbers are spiking.

Dunna dunna dun dun

... sounds a whole, sounds a whole lot like Need You Now by Lady Antebellum.

[laughs] I never noticed that.

And he sued, he sued...

We wrote it, and they jumped right on board, and we wrote it, and Hillary sang backgrounds.

And the craziest thing is Need You Now almost kept Do I from being a number one.

[laughs]

Really, it really messed my song up.

[laughs]

'Cause Need You Now parked up there for six weeks.

Do I was number two for six weeks.

But I look at, um, me and Dave and Charles sitting down, and, um, it- Yeah, man, that vocal was kind of a little bit of a, showing this guy kind of can sing a little bit.

But I look at, um, me and Dave and Charles sitting down, and yeah, man, that vocal was kind of a little bit of a showing this guy kinda can sing a little bit, had all the emotions, had the heartbreak.

And it being just like...

I Need You Now.

Yeah.

Well, we have a new one today.

And it could tell you right away, oh, this violates the rule because it goes X bars.

Sounds just like this one.

Yeah, but Need You Now and Eye in the Sky, you could put them side by side.

Mm-hmm.

That was one of the biggest songs of the 2010s.

Like, if that was released on TikTok right now, I'd, I have doubts that that would be a viral song.

Mm-hmm.

And then if that came out now, we would have no Need You Now.

So it's kind of stuck in kind of a weird space there as an independent artist of, like, especially like us, where it's like we do these heartfelt songs, but is there inherent viral- virality to them? Maybe not, but then it's, like, figuring out the ways we can get our music to our fans and new fans.

Pure Imagination, Bust a Move, No Time at All, It's Too Late, Give Me More, and Need You Now.

Yeah.

I'm all alone and I need you now Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now And I don't know how I can

Welcome to My Musical Journey 2010.

Well, hello and welcome to the second to the last episode of My Musical Journey 2010.

And that is a great song.

It's a super catchy song, and I am going to pick that as my favorite song of the episode.
