GABBY BARRETT HITS 100 MILLION ON-DEMAND STREAMS
With the milestones continuing to fly by, rising Country star and vocal powerhouse GABBY BARRETT has just earned another notable accolade, surpassing over 100 MILLION total on-demand streams.
Contributing to her fast-paced streaming success, current single “I Hope” has cracked the Top 50 of the Mediabase Country radio airplay chart, and earlier this year was featured as a YouTube Country Spotlight on SiriusXM’s The Highway. Reaching new heights, Barrett ranks as the best performing Country female artist on Amazon Music’s Weekly One (2019).
Recently eclipsing 100K subscribers on YouTube, Barrett was surprised by her Warner Music Nashville team with a commemorative plaque at a recent shoot. It’s just the latest high point in an already-monumental year.
“This has been an overwhelming year in the best way for me professionally and personally,” shares Barrett. “Seeing the reaction to my debut single, 'I Hope,' is so rewarding. From the response with streams, to hearing the crowds sing all the words at my shows – as an artist/songwriter, it doesn’t get any better than that. The Lord is gracious, and I am truly blessed.”
Along with her 100K+ subscriber base, Barrett has racked up more than 24.4 MILLION YouTube video views to date, and was named to the platform’s coveted 2019 Artist on the Rise initiative. The official video for “I Hope” has already racked up more than 18 MILLION views alone, while the just released “I Hope (Downtown Session)” is following fast, gathering 85K views in its first week.
On the road, the Pennsylvania native is building momentum as part of Chris Lane’s BIG, BIG PLANS TOUR, felt through massive crowd-wide sing-alongs of the feisty payback anthem “I Hope.” The on-fire single has spent 23 weeks on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, is holding strong at #18 on Shazam's Country chart, and claimed 30,000+ track equivalents this week – surpassing consumption norms for a TOP TEN AIRPLAY RECORD. Her tender new song, “The Good Ones,” is heating up, and Barrett will continue touring with Lane through the end of the year.
