Trivia / Thomas Rhett

• Breakthrough Hit: "It Goes Like This" for the country format, "Die a Happy Man" for pop.
• Follow the Leader: He and Dan + Shay seem to be the progenitors of "boyfriend country", which consists of gently romantic country-pop ballads sung by attractive young men. Other examples in his mold include Russell Dickerson and Brett Young.
• He Also Did: Thomas Rhett wrote several song for other people, including "Boys 'Round Here" by Blake Shelton, "Parking Lot Party" by Lee Brice, "1994" by Jason Aldean, "Round Here" by Florida Georgia Line, and "Ring on Every Finger" by LoCash.
• What Could Have Been: Rhett wrote "Ring on Every Finger" for Tangled Up but it didn't make the cut, so it ended up being recorded by LoCash instead.
