David Nail chose his first-ever No. 1 song to sing on his first trip to NBC's 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.' The ACM nominee for Best New Artist hit all the high notes of 'Let It Rain' on the late-night talk show Thursday night (Jan. 19). Watch his performance below.

"So much is happening right now, it's a little hard to take in," David said before the cameras started rolling in the Los Angeles studios. "Where I come from, people watch Jay Leno, just like they watched Johnny Carson -- and this is the kind of thing that's gonna mean something to my mom and dad. The No.1 after all those weeks was enough, but this is beyond anything I could've dreamed."
