“I HOPE” REACHES ALL TIME HIGH INSIDE BILLBOARD HOT 100 TOP 5
“THE GOOD ONES” SOARS INTO COUNTRY RADIO’S TOP 30
NASHVILLE, TENN. — Warner Music Nashville’s Gabby Barrett will bring “one of the biggest country smashes of the year” (Forbes) back to television next week as she sets her ELLEN debut for this Monday, November 16.
On Wednesday night (11/11), Barrett and collaborator Charlie Puth delivered their world premiere performance of the Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 single, with The New York Times noting how the performance “crested with power chords like a classic-rock ballad,” and Billboard praising the “dynamic duo” as “the two stars traded verses, pouring their souls into the emotional track before blending their voices on the last chorus.”
Profiled by The Washington Post as “a country music anomaly” for the debut hit’s streaming success, Barrett “has enjoyed one of the biggest breakout years of any artist in country music” (Billboard) and is quickly becoming “the face of Gen-Z Country” (HITS). She is currently nominated for the American Music Award’s Favorite Female Artist – Country, fans can vote here.
As “I Hope” — the most-streamed Country song of 2020 — continues its reign across genres, returning to the #1 spot at Hot AC radio and atop the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart this week, Barrett’s follow up at Country radio “The Good Ones” is gaining fast inside the Top 30 with over 80 MILLION on-demand streams. The rising superstar recently reflected on her “softly romantic” (MusicRow) sophomore single and its heartwarming, fan favorite music video with the clip’s cast — watch the virtual reunion here.
