2023 was a big year for Warren Zeiders
Zeiders, also a former lacrosse player at Frostburg State University, hogged the spotlight by ranking at No.1 at the Billboard’s Emerging Artists in December 2023. His single Pretty Little Poison debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart ranked No. 53 and 13.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, per Luminate. All this success vaulted Warren Zeiders to become the top-up-and-coming act in the US.
Topping it up with another banger on the Hot Country Songs chart, Zeider’s Sin So Sweet ranked at No. 39 and had 3.3 million streams following its release in November. His debut album, Pretty Little Poison also ranks at No. 35 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart after its stride at No.12. Whew!
However, the Ride the Lightning singer faced harsh criticism following his national anthem performance at the Big 12 Championship in Arlington, Texas, per Times Now.
Fans and netizens were not impressed by Zeiders's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner ahead of the game between Texas and Oklahoma State in December 2023. Many pondered over the availability of any other Texas-based country singer whereas others compared his performance to Roseanne Barr’s National Anthem performance at a San Diego Padres game in 1990, marked as one of the worst ever.
