Hubbard’s debut solo single, “5 Foot 9,” going number one, makes him the first male country artist formerly in a country duo to hit No.1 as a solo artist. He said of his recent success, “Reaching No.1 with my first single as a solo artist is an incredible feeling. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude when I think of everyone who has supported and stood behind me. I’m thankful to the fans, country radio, my team, and everyone at EMI Records and UMG Nashville for believing in me and working so hard to make this dream become a reality.”

Tyler made his debut Grand Ole Opry performance as a solo artist a few weeks back. He said, “Stepping into the circle to perform on stage at the Grand Ole Opry is such an incredible honor. Being at the Opry with family and friends and getting to celebrate “5 Foot 9” being certified gold is a moment I’ll never forget.”
