For all intents and purposes, Whiskey Myers has become one of the quintessential bands in today’s new crop of country-rock bands. While the likes of Koe Wetzel, Treaty Oak Revival, The Red Clay Strays, 49 Winchester and more have all experienced a whole lot of success the last few years, the East Texas band somewhat laid the blueprint for them.
Beginning all the way back in 2011 with their debut album, Firewater, which features their smash hit, “Broken Window Serenade,” as well as other career staples such as “Ballad Of A Southern Man” and “Virginia.” In the years following, they’ve continually one-upped themselves. Whether it’s their stellar release from last year, Whomp Wach Thunder, 2016’s Mud, which featured the 2x platinum “Stone,” 2019’s self-titled record, which contains the platinum “Bury My Bones” or 2014’s underrated Early Morning Shakes, Whiskey Myers has proven time and time again why they’re one of the best in the business.
With all of that being said, however, they’ve still flown under the radar from a broad perspective. Despite all the success in alternative country circles and fans like ours here at Whiskey Riff, Whiskey Myers have constantly been snubbed by the likes of the ACMs, CMAs and even the Grammys. While they have definitely received some love thanks to their strong streaming numbers from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), receiving 10 gold and platinum certifications to date, it still feels like they’ve never truly gotten the love they deserve.
One song that has undoubtedly received love, though, is none other than the aforementioned “Broken Window Serenade.”
Undoubtedly being their signature song at this point, it’s been nothing but a juggernaut for them. In addition to its monster 500 MILLION streams on Spotify alone, it’s also been a continually viral track for the band over the years. On TikTok alone, it’s been used a staggering 6 million times (1.5 million in the last two months), with many of these posts racking up millions of views and likes.
Its nearly unprecedented longevity and success on streaming allowed it to debut for the first time on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart back in April, slotting in at #50. However, as 2026 has continued, the song simply keeps getting bigger.
After cracking the Top 15 on Spotify’s all-genre Top 50 – USA chart back in July, early this week, it entered the Top 10 (currently sitting at #11) a staggering 15 years after its release. And while the fact that it’s charting that high is already impressive enough, when you take a look at the songs it’s above, it becomes even more incredible.
Currently, Whiskey Myers is sitting above the likes of Morgan Wallen’s “I Got Better,” Noah Kahan’s “Orbiter,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “drop dead” and Dexter and The Moonrocks’ viral hit, “Freakin’ Out” — all of which have been dropped recently and have been massive hits upon their release this year.
In case the Spotify Top 10 placement wasn’t enough, “Broken Window Serenade” was also certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA, officially selling over three million units. In turn, it’s now the East Texas band’s first song to date to reach the 3x Platinum threshold.
It’s one thing for a song to receive this much love more than a decade and a half later; it’s another thing to see it dominating recent releases from massive artists such as Wallen, Kahan and others. The fact that a song released 15 years ago is still doing this well streaming-wise should not go unnoticed. And as mentioned previously, if there’s a band that deserves it, it’s undoubtedly Whiskey Myers.
