Playlist positions concern individual songs. Monitored radio plays are not total radio audience. Streams, listeners and playlist subscribers are different measures.

THE ARTIST / EDITORIAL PROFILE
Colby Lee Swift’s story is clearest when place and practice stay together. His official biography identifies him as a Midfield, Texas native, born and raised on a ranch, with a deep-rooted traditional country sound and original songwriting. It says he began guitar at five, started singing at 15 and was performing live by 17. George Strait and John Conlee are named among the Texas-country influences behind his sound.
The official catalog offers several ways into the songs: “Wish It Was You,” “Old Hank Song,” “Joker’s Heart,” “Can’t Outrun the Heartache,” “John Deere Rust,” “Money To Drank” and “Chaser.” The site says “Chaser” peaked at No. 18 on the Texas Regional Radio Chart and credits producer Brent Rader on several releases.
MusicRow reported on February 19, 2026 that Swift signed a worldwide publishing deal with BMG and a booking deal with WME. The report names Bobby Walkup and Trippy Phillips of Hollow Point Management and says “John Deere Rust” reached Texas radio in June 2025.
