Maddie & Tae are sitting at Number One on both the Country Aircheck and Billboard country charts this week with “Die From a Broken Heart.” Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye co-wrote the song, along with Jonathan Singleton and Deric Ruttan, just two weeks after Tae suffered a heartbreak.
Maddie tells us that this true account of lost love really connected with fans. “The reaction to ‘Die From A Broken Heart’ was completely unexpected. We didn’t even realize that song was gonna have the life that it is having. I can’t even tell you how much it excites me to hear our fans relate to this because it’s so our story and so real and true to what we’ve been through.”
Maddie & Tae shared their excitement and appreciation on Instagram writing, “Ain’t no broken hearts up in here! Thank you to our AMAZING team, country radio & our beautiful fans for making this possible. Thank you to our co-writers @jonathansingletonmusic & @derricruttan for helping us tell our story. This is a story we will tell for the rest of our careers. Thank you God for this wonderful journey to #1 and all the trials that came with it. CHEERS! OMG WE HAVE OUR SECOND #1 AND PLATINUM SONG BABY!!”
