About Darius Rucker
Darius Rucker initially rose to popularity as the front man of Hootie and the Blowfish. Hootie and the Blowfish achieved extraordinary success during the 90s, after the release of their 1994 album, "Cracked Rear View," which went on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time. The band ended up selling over 21 million albums in just the United States alone.
After gaining fame with Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker embarked on a successful solo career as a country artist. His first country album, "Learn to Live," was released in 2008 through Capitol Nashville, and it reached the number 1 position on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, with a number 5 position on the Billboard 200. The album eventually went platinum, aided by popular songs like "It Won't Be Like This for Long," "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," "History in the Making," and "Alright." The success of the album marked an incredible crossover debut for Darius Rucker, and it was also the first time since Charley Pride for an African American country artist to have a major hit.
After the success of his country debut, Darius Rucker returned to the studio to begin recording his next album, "Charleston, SC 1966," which was released in 2010. The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at the number 2 position, and at the number 1 spot on the Top Country Albums chart, with over 100,000 copies sold in the first week. The album was well received, with critics and fans praising the polished sound and pop influences, all of which were a recipe for success in the mainstream country scene.
Darius Rucker's third country album, "True Believers," was released in 2013, and it has been certified gold, proving that he is truly a crossover success. "True Believers" continued to build upon Darius' polished, radio-friendly sound, complete with catchy hooks and pleasing melodies.
