Texas native Cody Johnson is marking Texas Independence Day with the release of his brand new track ‘Blame Texas,' available now across all digital platforms. Arriving on March 2, the song serves as a tribute to Johnson’s deep-rooted pride in his home state, perfectly timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Texas Declaration of Independence, signed in 1836 and establishing the Republic of Texas.
Written by Ashley Gorley, Josh Phillips, Beau Bailey and Casey Brown, Blame Texas continues Johnson’s run of momentum following a remarkable period of commercial success. The new release follows last year’s hugely successful ‘Travelin’ Soldier,' which debuted at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest-charting song of Johnson’s career. The track quickly gained traction across major streaming playlists, generating nearly 15 million global streams in its first week alone and going on to surpass 200 million worldwide streams, while also topping SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown.
Johnson’s current radio single ‘The Fall' is continuing that upward trajectory, climbing into the Top 10 on both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts while adding more than 6.25 million in audience reach this week. As his presence at country radio and streaming continues to grow, Johnson remains one of the genre’s most consistent modern hitmakers.
Meanwhile, fans can catch the singer back on the road as his Cody Johnson Live 26 tour rolls on this weekend with scheduled stops in Pittsburgh and Baltimore, further cementing a career moment that shows no signs of slowing down.
