Country music fans, let’s talk about the name you’ll be hearing a whole lot more of—Dylan Marlowe. This Georgia boy just hit a major milestone, scoring his first-ever No. 1 single on country radio with his hit “Boys Back Home,” featuring none other than his buddy Dylan Scott. Talk about a double-Dylan dynamite moment!
If you haven’t cranked this one up yet, what are you waiting for? Dubbed a song that “cranks the dial up to 10” by Taste of Country, this track is an anthem for all the small-town heroes out there. Written by Marlowe alongside Seth Ennis and Joe Fox (who also produced it), “Boys Back Home” is more than a chart-topper—it’s a game-changer. Oh, and did we mention it’s already certified gold by the RIAA? With 154 million streams worldwide, it’s safe to say this song has put Marlowe on the map—and then some.
A Dream Come True
For Marlowe, hearing his song on country radio was a full-circle moment. “Growing up, I’d always listen to country radio with my family,” he shared. “From hearing ‘Boys Back Home’ on the radio for the first time to now earning my first No. 1 – this experience has been surreal and a blessing. And having my buddy Dylan [Scott] on this song made it even more special! Thank you to Country Radio for your support!”
Scott chimed in with his own excitement, saying, “It’s really special to not only have this #1 but to share it with a close friend. Dylan Marlowe is the real deal, but I’m the real ‘Dyl’! Haha. Proud of you, buddy, and thank you, country radio, for being so good to me over the years!”
The Journey So Far
Marlowe’s star has risen faster than a summer night campfire flame. Known for his high-energy performances, this self-taught singer-songwriter is carving out a space that’s all his own in country music. From a viral cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” to co-writing Jon Pardi’s No. 1 hit “Last Night Lonely,” Marlowe has proven he’s got the chops to hang with the big dogs—and then some.
His debut album, Mid-Twenties Crisis, has already been praised as “a highly effective springboard for a storied career in country music” (Holler). And with 328 million global career streams under his belt, this Statesboro native is just getting started.
