Upping the ante on an already breakout year, Warner Music Nashville powerhouse GABBY BARRETT continues to make a statement with the release of “I Hope (Downtown Session).” Showcasing her raw vocal talent on this unplugged, intimate version of the chart-rising single filmed and recorded in downtown Nashville, she’s also catching the attention of high-profile media with a recent West Coast media blitz including Entertainment Tonight, KTLA, Wells Adams’ WellsCast podcast and more.

“I Hope” is turning heads with first-rate traction, already reaching nearly 600k track sales equivalents and contributing to over 85 MILLION on-demand streams before debuting on the Country radio airplay charts. The infectious song continues to race as it out-consumes 41 of the current Top 50 Country radio singles.

Setting the trend, “I Hope” ranks as Apple’s third highest streaming song by a female Country artist in 2019, while Barrett became the only artist in the genre with two tracks simultaneously featured on Spotify’s All-Genre Viral Top 50 Chart last week; “I Hope” and “The Good Ones” – both of which she co-wrote. 

Not slowing down, the SiriusXM “Highway Find” and Radio Disney’s second-ever solo Country artist “Next Big Thing” will close out the year on Chris Lane’s BIG BIG PLANS TOUR kicking off next Thursday (10/31) in Cincinnati, OH. Just-announced for 2020, she’ll take the stage at mile-marker festivals including Stagecoach, Tortuga Music Festival, Country Thunder, and Country Jam, alongside other tour dates nationwide.
