David Nail

David Nail‘s new favorite color just might be gold, seeing as how two of his hit singles — ‘Let It Rain’ and ‘Red Light’ — both have just been certified gold by the RIAA, which gives virtual bling to tunes which garner downloads exceeding 500,000 copies.

Now that David Nail has scored himself his first No. 1 hit with ‘Let It Rain,’ he is beginning to get more recognition as an artist. Now, he’s preparing to hit the road with pop-rock singer Gavin DeGraw for a mini tour kicking off in March.

David Nail was a bit lost for words on Monday afternoon (Feb. 6) as he celebrated his very first chart-topping hit, ‘Let It Rain,’ from ASCAP headquarters in downtown Nashville. Nail and his co-writer on ‘Let It Rain,’ Jonathan Singleton, were praised and recognized for their hit song that took its sweet time climbing the charts — 11 months, to be exact.

Wherever David Nail is today, he is one happy man. This week, the Missouri native is experiencing what it’s like to sit atop the country singles chart with the nation’s No. 1 song. ‘Let It Rain,’ penned by Nail and hit songwriter Jonathan Singleton, knocked the Zac Brown Band‘s ‘Keep Me in Mind’ out of the top slot after multiple weeks.

Friday night was a special time for David Nail on many levels. In addition to being at Game 7 of the World Series in St. Louis in person to see his beloved Cardinals battle against the Texas Rangers, the singer also got the chance to step foot on the field where he belted out an emotion-filled rendition of ‘God Bless America’ during the seventh-inning stretch.
