Sam Hunt’s Number-1 Song Was a Late Addition to His Southside Album

Congrats to Sam Hunt – he’s topping the country music airplay chart this week with “Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90’s.”

Sam says, “That’s a song that kind of speaks to the times a little bit. My favorite line from that song is ‘Modern love leads to modern hearts breaking. I’m just a product of my generation.’ Just a fun, kind of simple reflection on how much more difficult it is to be so connected, the downside of being so connected, nowadays.”

Did you know that the track almost didn’t make it onto his Southside album in the first place, Sam shares “Yeah, that was one that was written in the 9th hour, and turned out pretty cool I thought, so we included it on the record.”
