Parker McCollum has another Platinum record under his belt.

His hit “Handle On You” has officially been certified Platinum by the RIAA, meaning it has moved over one million units since it was released last year.

In the honky tonk heartbreaker, Parker finds himself drinking to get over a break-up and trying to get a handle on his emotions through the bottom of a bottle, knowing that he shouldn’t be drinking so much but, “I tell myself that I should quit but I don’t listen to drunks.”

I just love that line…

A co-write by Parker and Monty Criswell, it was included on Parker’s studio album Never Enough that was released back in March.

Easily one of my favorite radio singles put out in 2022 and favorite Parker songs in general, it became his third straight #1 hit at country radio when it reached the top of the charts in May, and clearly remains a fan-favorite by any measurable statistic too.

Turn it up…
