Earlier this year Thomas Rhett was nominated for the 'Breakthrough Artist of The Year Award' on The American Country Countdown Awards. Thomas Rhett launched a PR campaign to drum up some extra votes before the big night, promising his supporters that he would record his own version of the Bruno Mars power ballad "When I Was Your Man" IF followers showed their support by re-tweeting his post. Almost 4,000 fans complied and Rhett just made good on his promise.

Rhett recently talked about Bruno Mars during a Rolling Stone interview.

I'm obsessed with Bruno Mars' records, I'd give my right leg to be able to sing like that dude - Thomas Rhett

Even though Rhett ended up losing the 'Breakthrough Artist' award to Kim Moore, we're sure glad he kept his promise and recorded the song. Nice job Mr. Rhett.
