Joe Nichols has released his newest single, “The Shape I’m In.”
 
Following the success of “Gimmie That Girl,” which spent three weeks at No. 1, “The Shape I’m In” was written by the same team. The Peach Pickers, also known as Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip, penned both songs, which can be found on Nichols' newest album, Old Things New.      
 
“It's a natural fit,” Nichols said. “Same writers and same feel with the production as ‘Gimmie that Girl,’ plus, I'm a big fan of the Muscle Shoals groove/sound, and this song lends itself to that sound. It also has a ‘feeling good’ lyric. Definitely my kind of song.”
 
“Gimmie That Girl” was the first single of 2010 to hold the top spot on the charts for three consecutive weeks. Since 1998, only six other artists -- Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins and Taylor Swift -- have had a single last three weeks at No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart.
