Dan + Shay's single “10,000 Hours” with pop superstar Justin Bieber broke records with more than 75 million global streams, making it the biggest first-week streaming total in country music history by a wide margin.

Additionally, with more than 250,000 U.S. track equivalents, “10,000 Hours” is the first song by a country duo or group ever to debut in the Billboard Hot 100's top five. Arriving at No. 1 on their Country Streaming Songs and all-genre Digital Song Sales charts, this is also Dan + Shay’s third song to reach the top of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Dan + Shay announced their (Arena) Tour last week and their show at Madison Square Garden sold out in less than 90 minutes.

The guys posted to Instagram, "THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS."
