Kane Brown earns his 11th No. 1 hit on country radio with ‘I Can Feel It’

Kane Brown celebrated his latest No. 1 “I Can Feel It,” which samples Phil Collins’ classic song, “In The Air Tonight”. The achievement marks Brown’s 11th No. 1 hit.

Brown co-wrote the song alongside Gabe Foust and Jaxson Free, with Dann Huff as producer. Collins, who solely penned “In The Air Tonight,” is credited as a writer on “I Can Feel It.” Brown told Billboard: “I just got the news that ‘I Can Feel It’ went No. 1 – this means so much to me. And it’s amazing to have a No. 1 with a huge legend like Phil Collins.”

BMI’s Brad Kennard said of Brown’s accomplishment: “A couple of years ago, Concord was blessed with the opportunity to acquire the incredible and legendary catalog of Phil Collins and Genesis …I was absolutely blown away by what you guys did with this—you really honored the song. I want to point out that ‘In The Air Tonight’ came out in 1981, nearly 43 years ago, and Phil Collins has never had a country No. 1 until you guys made it happen. Creating a first for Collins is pretty incredible from my point of view.”

Brown also thanked everyone who supports him: “I love the fact that I got to be Jaxson’s first No. 1, and now I get to be Gabe’s first No. 1. That’s what I like—being a part of peoples’ firsts because I remember the feeling of having my first. It’s exciting to get to relive that moment with these guys.”
