Toronto, ON –  Buzzed-about newcomer and “one of Country music’s most promising young stars,” (Whiskey Riff) Lainey Wilson celebrates her first Gold certification in Canada for her hit single "Things A Man Oughta Know”.

"Things A Man Oughta Know" is included in Lainey’s first album as a signed artist, Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’.

Lainey celebrated the album release with fans on YouTube and a Seven-Night Livestream Series, sponsored by various partners. She hosted different themed livestreams to give fans exclusive content, performances, and a behind the scenes look into her life and the album.

“Things A Man Oughta Know,” has already gained incredible success with over 133+ million Total On-Demand Global Streams, earning a Top 10 spot at US Country Radio, #51 on the Billboard Hot 100, #2 on the Billboard Emerging Artists, and #5 on the Shazam US Country Chart. In addition, the single was also added to key playlists including Spotify Hot Country, Spotify Breakout Country, Apple Music Today’s Country, and Amazon Music Country Heat.

Lainey has been actively building an international fanbase, performing on stages across the globe, including the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage.
