Jake Owen has his seventh No. 1 hit with “I Was Jack (You Were Diane)” and celebrated that with an Instagram message over the weekend. He sent it out to his fans and also John Mellencamp, who allowed him to release the song in the first place…

“Thank you @johnmellencamp for trusting us and allowing us to pay our respects to you and everything you’ve done to pave the way for so many of us in the music industry … I feel like I’m just getting started. I have a lot more left in my tank. Thanks to every one of you who’ve reached out to me and said congratulations. What a ride it’s been.”

Owen will continue his Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour through September and is expected to announce a brand-new headlining tour for the fall in the near future.
