Last fall, the global smash `Tequila` from Platinum-selling artists Dan + Shay had just become the most-streamed country song released in 2018 with 250 million on-demand streams. Fast forward roughly 10,000 hours and not only has the record-setting pair won a GRAMMY for the multi-week No. 1, which is now approaching one billion global on-demand streams to date, they`ve also just unveiled a brand new collaboration with one of the world`s best-selling pop icons, Justin Bieber, as their latest single: `10,000 Hours`. The track has already garnered a whopping 22 million views!
The duo`s Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney co-wrote the song with Bieber alongside Jessie Jo Dillon, Jordan Reynolds and Jason `Poo Bear` Boyd.
