In an April 2020 edition of “Songland,” country trio Lady A selected the Madeline Merlo-penned “I’ll Drink To That” (later retitled “Champagne Night”) as the winning song. Panelist Shane McAnally took lead production duties.<\/p>\n

Following the song’s early success on digital platforms, Lady A and its team named “Champagne Night” an official radio single.<\/p>\n

The move paid off, as “Champagne Night” rises four places to #1 on this week’s Mediabase country radio singles chart.<\/p>\n

“Champagne Night,” which seizes the throne from Parker McCollum’s “Pretty Heart,” becomes the first “Songland” selection to ever top a radio chart.<\/p>\n

Blake Shelton’s “Happy Anywhere (featuring Gwen Stefani)” holds at #2 on this week’s chart, while Chris Lane’s “Big, Big Plans” stays at #3. Dan + Shay’s “I Should Probably Go To Bed” spends another week at #4, and Luke Combs’ “Better Together” ticks up one place to #5.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned “Pretty Heart” drops to #6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s the first “Songland” song to become a #1 radio hit.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":139630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[390,13561,5437,1971,2232,13807,7657,14374,9315],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nLady A's "Songland" Pick "Champagne Night" Reaches #1 At Country Radio<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In an April 2020 edition of "Songland," country trio Lady A selected the Madeline Merlo-penned "I'll Drink To That" (later retitled "Champagne Night") as\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/12\/27\/lady-as-songland-pick-champagne-night-reaches-1-at-country-radio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lady A's "Songland" Pick "Champagne Night" Reaches #1 At Country Radio\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In an April 2020 edition of "Songland," country trio Lady A selected the Madeline Merlo-penned "I'll Drink To That" (later retitled "Champagne Night") as\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/12\/27\/lady-as-songland-pick-champagne-night-reaches-1-at-country-radio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-12-28T02:41:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lady-Antebellum-Songland.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"667\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/12\/27\/lady-as-songland-pick-champagne-night-reaches-1-at-country-radio\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/12\/27\/lady-as-songland-pick-champagne-night-reaches-1-at-country-radio\/\",\"name\":\"Lady A's \\\"Songland\\\" Pick \\\"Champagne Night\\\" Reaches #1 At Country Radio\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-28T02:41:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-12-28T02:41:40+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"In an April 2020 edition of \\\"Songland,\\\" country trio Lady A selected the Madeline Merlo-penned \\\"I'll Drink To That\\\" (later retitled \\\"Champagne Night\\\") as\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2020\/12\/27\/lady-as-songland-pick-champagne-night-reaches-1-at-country-radio\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
