Breakthrough country star — and ACM Awards nominee — Gabby Barrett scores her first Top 10 at country radio this week.
Powered by a mammoth airplay gain, her debut radio single “I Hope” rises three places to #8 on this week’s Mediabase country radio singles chart.
The #8 position is based on chart points; “I Hope” meanwhile ranks as the Mediabase country panel’s 8th-most-played and 9th-most-heard song for the March 8-14 tracking period. The single received 5,729 plays (+516) and 32.61 million audience impressions.
— It appears Thomas Rhett’s “Beer Can’t Fix (featuring Jon Pardi)” will also enter the Top 10 this week, but as it was in a very tight race with Riley Green’s “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” we will wait until the final chart goes to print this evening before confirming.
(UPDATE: “Beer Can’t Fix” indeed enters the Top 10 this week, rising four places to a new high of #10).
