Update:<\/b> In addition to topping the Mediabase country radio singles chart, Lauren Alaina’s “Road Less Traveled” claims #1 on this week’s Billboard Country Airplay chart.<\/p>\n
It is her first #1 on either listing.<\/p>\n
“I cannot believe I have the number one song in the country,\u201d says Alaina. \u201cI have dreamed of this day my entire life. The five singles, the ups and downs, the tears, the smiles, and the six years of hard work have made this moment so much sweeter. I am so thankful to everyone who helped me get to this point. Regardless of my future, I get to live the rest of my life saying I have written a number one song. Life made.”<\/p>\n
