Stella Lefty Scores First Country Airplay No. 1

Stella Lefty earned her first No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay with Boston. The song, which reached 34.2 million audience impressions during the Sept. 11-17 tracking period, increased 8%. Boston is also Atlantic Outpost’s first No. 1 song and its first single to appear on the chart.

Lefty became the first solo female artist to reach No. 1 with her first Country Airplay entry since Lainey Wilson. Boston also recorded the fastest climb to No. 1 for a female artist’s breakout hit without a collaborator in more than 22 years. The song reached No. 1 10 weeks faster than the 32-week average for Country Airplay songs reaching the top spot in the 2020s.

Boston ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated Sept. 19. Lefty and Vincent Mason’s Something to Lose rose from No. 47 to No. 45 on Country Airplay. Two Lefty songs appear on Is This Heaven? and Long Way Home, both of which reached the top 10 of Top Country Albums.

Dan + Shay’s Say So moved up three places to No. 9 on Country Airplay, becoming the duo’s 13th top 10. Zach John King earned his first top 10 with Get to Drinkin’, his first Country Airplay entry.
