Congrats to Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde as they land in the number-1 spot on the Billboard country airplay chart with “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.”
After topping the country chart, Carly talks about her song with Ashley and the success its had, “Oh my gosh, I mean just thinking about how this song even came to be. I had an idea to have Ashley on a song and she was on board. And just to see what it’s done and the stories that we’ve heard, and to be two women to get a number one – it’s Ashley’s first, which I think is really awesome, and I’m so happy for her. And this is the kind of music that I want to write and I want to sing, and to see it do what it’s done at radio makes me really proud.”
Ashley is on a tour overseas right now, which makes her first trip to number-1 even more memorable, “First times only happen once. I’ll always remember I was in Leeds, England when I got the news. I’ll always love that Carly and I got to ride this rocket of a song together. I’ll always love that she, Shane and I trusted each other and ourselves to be brutally honest when we wrote it. It doesn’t get a whole lot better than that.”
Carly shares, “So many people have been where this song takes you … it’s so real and feels so raw.”

Kane Brown is out with a brand new single – “Like I Love Country Music.”
Kane first gave fans a listen to the new track with the help of his daughter, Kingsley.
Talking about the track, Kane says, “I wrote this song in 2019. I remember it was a little writer’s retreat thing on the on the road. So we had two different songs going, one in the back of the bus and one in the front of the bus. And I was in the back. And as I came up front, they, the writers had this great idea. And they already had some of the first verse and I just remember thinking, this could be a smash. And I jumped on it and right after that we all fell in love with it and been waiting to put it out. But the song just wasn’t ready and now it is.“
