The Year in Music 2024: With a ‘World on Fire,’ Nate Smith couldn’t be more grateful

“World on Fire” spent 10 weeks at #1 in 2024, leaving Nate Smith in utter disbelief. 

“It went to like two weeks #1,” he recalls. “I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s insane. Oh my gosh. Two weeks.’ Then it went three, then went four, then it went five. It went to seven weeks, and my team surprised me with a plaque.”

“‘Seven weeks, number one!’ I’m like, ‘That’s so awesome!'” he continues. “The next week it went eight. I was like, ‘OK, I don’t know now. I have no idea.’ And then it went to 10. Like, I literally can’t even believe that. I don’t know how it happened. It’s insane.”

A 10-week number one was just the beginning of the highlights 2024 had in store for Nate.

“[Touring] Australia was amazing,” he tells ABC Audio. “I mean, the tour with Morgan Wallen was crazy, winning the ACM Award, New Artist of the Year, getting [the equivalent] nomination for CMAs. I got to do Jimmy Kimmel [Live!]. I did TODAY show. I did [Live with Kelly and Mark].” 

“This is actually insane,” Nate reflects. “Like my family’s so proud and excited. There’s just too many things. So this holiday season, I’m going to do some real sitting down, and just spending some time in gratefulness and really processing what the hell just happened, you know?”

Nate heads into 2025 with “Fix What You Didn’t Break” climbing the chart. It’s from his sophomore album, California Gold.
