As Riley Green’s “Don’t Mind If I Do” climbs to the top of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, he secures a rare achievement in the music industry. Green, known for his self-written hits, becomes the first artist in 13 years to land consecutive chart-toppers. Since his breakout debut album “Different ‘Round Here” in 2019, Green has notched an impressive six number one hits, solidifying his status as a country music mainstay.
Green’s collaboration with Ella Langley on “You Look Like You Love Me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do” marks them as only the second duo since 1990 to achieve multiple number one hits, following in the footsteps of Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. With “Don’t Mind If I Do” following the success of “Worst Way,” Green now boasts two back-to-back self-written number one hits, a feat akin to the accomplishment of Taylor Swift with “Sparks Fly” and “Ours” back in 2011–2012.
Looking ahead to the future, Green is already in the studio working on new music set to be released early in the year. He shared with listeners on the “Like A Farmer” podcast his excitement for this stripped-back approach, focusing on acoustic tracks and simpler production than before. Fans can expect a raw and authentic sound from Green’s upcoming songs, showcasing a different side of his musical talents.
In addition to his upcoming music releases, fans can catch Green live in 2026. Starting off the year at Luke Bryan’s annual “Crash My Playa” festival in Cancún, Mexico, Green will then embark on a five-night tour Down Under in March before returning to kick off his “Cowboy As It Gets Tour” on April 16 in Southaven, Mississippi. From there, Green will grace various stages across the country, giving fans the opportunity to experience his music in person.
