Justin Moore Scores 9th No. 1 Single With “Why We Drink”

Justin Moore scored his ninth No. 1 single as “Why We Drink” ascended to the top spot on both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart this week.

Penned by Justin, Casey Beathard, David Lee Murphy and Jeremy Stover, “Why We Drink” is featured on Justin’s 2019 album, Late Nights and Longnecks, which also spawned No. 1 hit, “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home.”

Justin will commemorate his first headlining show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in May 2018 by releasing a new album, Live at the Ryman, on Sept. 25. The 17-song album features many of Justin’s fan-favorite No. 1 hits, including “Small Town USA,” “You Look Like I Need a Drink,” “Somebody Else Will” and more, as well as covers of Waylon Jennings’ “I Ain’t Living Long Like This” and Hank Williams Jr.’s “Country State of Mind.” Special guests Chris Janson, David Lee Murphy, and Ricky Skaggs and The Whites are featured on the album.
