In the 10 years since his debut on Warner Music Nashville, Swindell has racked up 12 No. 1 singles as an artist – 13 as a songwriter – each of the 12 singles are certified platinum (including 2 singles at 3x platinum and 4 at 2x platinum), a platinum-certified debut album (Cole Swindell), a platinum-certified sophomore effort (You Should Be Here), a gold-certified 3rd entry (All Of It), and a gold-certified 4th album (Stereotype).
