“NINE?!?! Are you kidding me??? This year has already been unbelievable in so many ways,” says Barrett. “I feel so blessed that the fans and music community have embraced me and my music. God is good, ALL the time.”
 
The MULTI-PLATINUM hitmaker kicked off the week by adding to her record-breaking chart success as “The Good Ones” notched a third week at #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song is the first three-week leader by a female artist in over a decade. Stacking achievements, “The Good Ones” also reigned a third week at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, while surpassing 270 MILLION global streams.
 
"Wow, a No. 1 single is something that is so, so special, and for this song to be No. 1 for three weeks is astonishing," Barrett shared with Billboard. "It means the world to me to know that it has resonated with so many people. I'm thankful to our Lord Jesus, my own good one Cade, my fans for supporting me, country radio for welcoming me and to my family, label and team for always believing in me and my music."
 
Making her late-night television debut last night (4/28), Barrett lit up CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden with a shimmering performance of “The Good Ones.” Radiating in all-white, her powerhouse vocals took center stage accompanied by heavy-hitting guitars. Barrett also joined Corden for a chat on the story behind her latest record-breaking hit, and life as a new mother to 3-month-old daughter Baylah May. 

Riding high from her ACM Awards win, Barrett will look to add more hardware to the shelf as she vies for four iHeartRadio Music Awards as Country music’s most-nominated artist. Up for Best New Country Artist plus Country Song of the Year for “I Hope,” she scored all-genre nods for Best Collaboration and Best Lyrics for “I Hope” featuring Charlie Puth. The 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards will air live on FOX from The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 27 from 8pm - 10pm ET.
 
Just announced, Barrett will hit the road as a special guest on Thomas Rhett’s THE CENTER POINT ROAD TOUR beginning August 13. For tickets, and more information on her upcoming shows, click here.
