The iHeartRadio Music Award nominee tops the charts ahead of first-ever appearance at C2C and international tour dates
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Just weeks after scoring his first No. 1 at Country radio, Tucker Wetmore continues his meteoric rise, landing his first No. 1 on the UK Country Radio Airplay chart with his RIAA-certified Platinum debut single, “Wind Up Missin’ You.” This milestone follows Wetmore’s debut at the top of Billboard’s Emerging Artist chart earlier this month and inclusion on Billboard’s prestigious all-genre Ones to Watch list last week.
“It’s incredible to feel the love from fans all the way across the pond,” shares Wetmore. “This song continues to move mountains for me, and I’m so blessed. I can’t wait to celebrate with y’all overseas this spring!”
After ringing in the new year at the top of the chart, Wetmore nabbed an iHeartRadio Music Awards nomination for Best New Country Artist. He recently joined Luke Bryan’s CRASH MY PLAYA in Riviera Cancun, Mexico before he heads to Country 2 Country (C2C) in March. His trip overseas will be bolstered by his extended WAVES ON A SUNSET TOUR 2025, including a sold-out stop at London’s Electric Ballroom. He will also join Thomas Rhett’s BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR 2025 as direct support across 33 dates this summer.
As he approaches the one year anniversary of his head-turning debut in February, Wetmore has seen a year full of unparalleled momentum with his back-to-back Billboard Hot 100 hits “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You.” After releasing his debut EP Waves on a Sunset in October, his catalog has amassed him more than 732M total global streams to date and has earned spots on coveted Artist to Watch lists from Spotify, Billboard, VEVO, MusicRow and many more.
With new music, major festival appearances and extensive touring on the way, Wetmore is poised to continue his ascent as one of country music’s most promising new stars.

ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE:
Having notched back-to-back spots on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart with his RIAA Platinum-certified debut singles “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You” and surpassing 700M streams in less than a year, Washington-born singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore is well on the way to becoming a certified breakout country star. Wetmore signed a major-label record deal last summer with UMG Nashville in partnership with Back Blocks Music, had two songs featured on the star-studded Twisters soundtrack (“Already Had It” and “Steal My Thunder” (with Conner Smith)), made his Grand Ole Opry debut and delivered his first EP, Waves on a Sunset. He brought his music directly to fans on tour with Kameron Marlowe and Luke Bryan before selling out his first-ever headlining tour WAVES ON A SUNSET TOUR 2024. Now, in 2025, the skyrocketing talent will extend his headlining efforts with dates in the UK, US and Europe before joining Thomas Rhett’s BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR 2025 as direct support. Wetmore will continue releasing new music, with songs that reflect his cross-genre musical upbringing, embracing all manners of country, reggae, rock and hip-hop, albeit anchored by classic country storytelling. Wetmore enters 2025 as One to Watch by Billboard, MusicRow, VEVO, Spotify and more, with his debut single “Wind Up Missin’ You” already earning him his first No.1 on the Mediabase Country chart.
