After several weeks of “Bubbling Under,” Kelsea Ballerini’s breakthrough single “Love Me Like You Mean It” is officially charting on the Billboard Hot 100.
It begins its Hot 100 run at #97.
In addition to scoring Ballerini her first career appearance on the overall Hot 100, the song continues to fare well on charts specific to the country genre.
“Love Me” officially reaches the Top 20 on this week’s edition of the Billboard Country Airplay chart (14.902 million weekly impressions, #20), and it rises to #16 on this week’s Billboard Country Digital Songs chart (~18,000 weekly sales).
One of the US’ 100 hottest songs across all genres, “Love Me Like You Mean It” is one of the twenty one hottest within the country genre. It rises three places to a new peak of #21 on the all-encompassing Hot Country Songs chart.
“Love Me Like You Mean It,” which is producing qualitative buzz to go along with its improving chart positions, is the lead single from Ballerini’s forthcoming album “The First Time.” That LP, which is Ballerini’s debut full-length release, arrives on May 19.
