Congratulations to Gabby Barrett. The country newcomer and former American Idol finalist has her very first number-one on the Mediabase country singles chart, with her first single, "I Hope."

The song is also No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. Gabby is now just the 4th solo female country artist in 14 years with a No. 1 debut, following Carly Pearce's “Every Little Thing" (Nov. 2017), Kelsea Ballerini's “Love Me Like You Mean It” (June 2015) & Carrie Underwood's “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (Jan. 2006).

Dierks Bentley is featured on the Trolls World Tour soundtrack- giving it a bit of a country feel with the song “Leaving Lonesome Flats.” The toe-tapping song was written by of one the movie's stars- Justin Timberlake and his friend Chris Stapleton. The Trolls World Tour album is available now.
