@countrymusicflashback: A beat-up car. A #1 hit. Aaron Tippin’s 1992 smash “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong with the Radio” wasn’t originally about a car at all — it was about a fictional girlfriend who kept messing with a guy’s radio. Co-writer Buddy Brock shut that idea down and insisted they write about Tippin’s actual beat-up vehicle, nicknamed Daisy, because the radio was literally the only thing on it that worked. That pivot to autobiography sent the song to #1 on the Billboard Hot Country chart, where it stayed for three straight weeks. “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong with the Radio” was released on February 10, 1992, as the lead single from Tippin’s second studio album, Read Between the Lines, on RCA Nashville. It debuted at #54 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart on February 15, 1992, climbed to the top by April 18, and ranked #31 on Billboard’s 1992 Year-End Hot Country Songs chart. The album itself was certified Platinum by the RIAA — Tippin’s highest-certified studio release. Crank it up or change the station? #musicflashback
