Riley Green just pulled off a move that most singers only dream about. His song Worst Way officially moved over 3 million units and earning a Triple Platinum crown from the RIAA. This was not a lucky break. Riley wrote every single word of this hit by himself. It is rare to see an artist take over the charts without a team of writers, but he did it.
This song is a sharp turn from his usual tunes about grandpas and old trucks. It is a slow and moody tale that feels like a hot summer night. Riley proves that traditional country still has a lot of fire left in it. He does not need a big light show to get his point across when he has a story this intense. You really have to see the cinematic grit of this official production to understand why it broke the internet.
