Washington, D.C. – Eli Young Band celebrated their Love Talking album release with a sold-out weekend on their Love Talking Tour, wrapping with another milestone for one of their biggest hits. RIAA’s Liz Kennedy and Big Machine Label Group’s Jimmy Harnen, who led “Crazy Girl” to the No. 1 spot at Country radio in 2011, surprised EYB with 4x Platinum certification during their show in Washington, D.C. on Friday night (June 3). As their highest award yet, “Crazy Girl” has surpassed more than four million sales and streaming units in the U.S. and was previously named Billboard‘s No. 1 Country Song of the Year and won the ACM Award for Song of the Year.

“‘Crazy Girl’ has been a defining song for us, and it’s really special to see how much fans love it too,” says Mike Eli. “We’re grateful for those singing along from the crowd and those who play our music on repeat because you make moments like these possible! And thanks to the RIAA for celebrating this certification with us.”
 
With a dynamic career spanning two decades, fans have been treated to the hits, old favorites and new songs from EYB’s sixth studio album throughout the tour thus far. Love Talking is available everywhere now via The Valory Music Co. Listen HERE. Praise has already begun:
