* BreakthroughHit: After his first two albums failed to produce anything higher than #10 despite good sales, "Drink in My Hand" became his first #1 in early 2012. This also doubled as a breakthrough for Jay Joyce; mainly a rock producer, he had almost no other country production credits at the time, but once Church finally heated up, Joyce began producing for the likes of Music/LittleBigTown, Music/GaryAllan, and Music/ThomasRhett.
* CreatorBacklash: Church has said that he dislikes "Love Your Love the Most" and "Hell on the Heart" because they were attempts to please his label by giving them something radio-friendly.
* InvisibleAdvertising: He released ''Mr. Misunderstood'' to his fan club in late 2015 with no advance warning that he was putting out a new album.
