Amassing over 600 million impressions and 600 million global streams to date, it vaulted to #2 on the Spotify Album Debut UK Chart and #3 on the Spotify Album Debut US and Global Charts. Among many chart successes, “Last Man Standing” bowed on the Spotify Global Viral 50 Charts in the US, U.K., Sweden, Denmark, and Australia. Meanwhile, breakout single “Shadow” took flight as the #1 iTunes Global Song for over 24 hours upon release and cracked the Top 20 on the Spotify US and Global Viral Charts. It even boasted an appearance by Academy® Award winner J.K. Simmons for its “Introduction.”
Not to mention, Livingston’s social following has grown by 1.5 million followers across platforms, and his audience has more than doubled within the last year. The past year has also been a monumental year touring-wise, as he embarked on several headline tours across North America, Europe, and the U.K and sold over 50,000 tickets. Touring for the first time in his career, he drew in diverse crowds of all ages in every city, as fans—no matter their stage of life—connected with his honest and vulnerable lyrics, brought to life on-stage by his dynamic and larger-than-life performance.
