Country music singer Chase McDaniel’s hard work may have finally started to pay off after he spent years working 17-hour shifts, six days a week as a bartender to finance his passion for music.

Nearly 20 million preview streams later, he officially dropped his new single “Project” at exactly midnight on May 27, and it sky-rocketed to No. 1 in just two hours on iTunes across all genres, as well as in the United Kingdom and Canada, with loyal fans rejoicing at his success.
