Tucker Wetmore has officially kicked off 2025 on a high note, landing his first No. 1 single at country radio with his breakout hit, “Wind Up Missin’ You.” This Platinum-certified track claimed the top spot on the Mediabase Country chart, solidifying Wetmore’s meteoric rise as one of the genre’s most exciting new stars.

“I cannot say thank you enough to Country radio for making ‘Wind Up Missin’ You’ my first No. 1,” Wetmore shared. “The last year has changed my life, and this is a dream come true. I’m beyond grateful to everyone who made this happen and can’t wait to work even harder this year.”

A Record-Breaking Debut

Released in February 2024, “Wind Up Missin’ You” quickly became a sensation, racking up streams and earning accolades from fans and critics alike. The song debuted alongside Wetmore’s other Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Wine Into Whiskey,” both of which showcased his raw talent and knack for storytelling. In less than a year, Wetmore amassed over 700 million global streams and earned a place on prestigious “Artists to Watch” lists from Spotify RADAR, VEVO DSCVR, and others.

The chart-topping single began its journey at country radio in June and steadily climbed over 30 weeks to claim its well-deserved spot at No. 1. Critics have hailed the track as a “surefire hit” (Billboard), praising Wetmore’s ability to balance modern production with traditional country roots.

An Unstoppable Touring Force

Wetmore’s rising star power isn’t confined to the studio—he’s also making waves on the road. This month, he’ll join Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa festival, an event known for spotlighting country’s biggest names. Later this year, Wetmore will extend his sold-out Waves on a Sunset Tour with 17 additional dates in Europe and the U.S. before hitting the road with Thomas Rhett as direct support on the Better in Boots Tour beginning in June.

Critical Acclaim and Future Plans

Industry insiders and fans alike have taken notice of Wetmore’s rapid rise. Publications like Billboard and Forbes have applauded his talent and trajectory, with Barstool Sports predicting, “This guy is going to be a megastar. Get familiar with the name now.” As Wetmore builds on his cross-genre influences—drawing from country, reggae, rock, and hip-hop—he’s poised to deliver more hits that resonate with diverse audiences. His debut EP, Waves on a Sunset, provided a glimpse into his ability to tell deeply personal stories through a contemporary lens, a skill that continues to win him fans around the globe.

What’s Next for Tucker Wetmore?

With a No. 1 single under his belt and a packed touring schedule, Wetmore shows no signs of slowing down. Fans can expect new music from the Washington-born singer-songwriter in 2025, as he continues to push boundaries and solidify his place as one of country music’s brightest stars. Whether on the charts, the stage, or streaming platforms, Wetmore’s unique blend of grit, authenticity, and storytelling is proving to be a winning formula for country music’s next big thing.
