Graffiti U, which upon its debut on April 27, 2018 hit #1 on charts in the United States, Canada and Australia, is Urban's ninth studio recording and follows one of the most successful releases of his career, 2016'sRIPCORD. Graffiti U's latest single "Never Comin Down," follows his 24th #1 "
Coming Home" (featuring Julia Michaels), which marked the first time a country artist has used a sample of a country song (Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried").
Urban has had an album simultaneously atop the all-genre charts in the U.S., Canada and Australia twice and is the only male Country artist to have achieved the mark even once. He now stands at #8 on Billboard's All-Time Country Airplay Chart as the artist with the most consecutive top 10 songs on Billboard's Country Airplay Chart (38) - a streak that started in August of 2000.
Besides four Grammy Awards, Urban has won 13 Country
Music Association Awards, 11 Academy of Country
Music Awards, four People's Choice Awards and four American
Music Awards. He is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Urban's reputation as a premier songwriter, vocalist, musician and virtuoso guitarist has afforded him the opportunity to collaborate with the likes of The Rolling Stones, John Mayer, Steven Tyler,
