Hubbard’s current radio single “Back Then Right Now,” the first of his new album ‘Strong’ (April 12 via EMI Nashville), reached the top spot at country radio, making Hubbard the only artist to start two separate careers with at least three consecutive No. 1 songs. The Georgia native will headline fairs and festivals throughout 2024 before embarking on his headline ‘Strong World Tour’ later this year.
