Canadian-based band Emerson Drive is about to score their first number one hit.
The big news around country radio has to be the rise of Emerson Drive's most recent single. Currently the song sits at #1 on Mediabase's daily airplay chart.
The song "Moments" is about a homeless man who stops a depressed young man from jumping off a bridge. Very moving and reminisent of Craig Morgan's top ten hit "Almost Home."
For the boys from Canada, this is their biggest hit since their second single "Fall into Me" which reached #3 on Billboard in 2002. In between were 4 singles that failed to reach the Top 15.
"Moments" joins Brad Paisley's "She's Everything" as the only true ballads to hit number 1 this year.
