AFTERMATH OF APPLE AND TAYLOR SWIFT UK £5.50 WorldMags.net WorldMags.net WorldMags.net pmoqiin Is Kelsea Ballerini The Next Carrie LAURA FARR/ADMEDIA Underwood? IRL POWER REIGNS SUPREME — AT LAST — ON country radio. Kelsea Ballerini is the first woman to send a debut single to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country G Airplay chart (see page 65) in more than nine years as “Love Me Like You Mean It” (from her debut album The First Time, released in May on indie label Black River) rises 2-1. On the Billboard Hot 100, the track bullets at No. 46. It’s the first career- opening single by a solo female to crown Country Airplay since Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” in 2006, released to country radio after she won American Idol in 2005. LC and Nielsen Music, Inc.LC All rights reserved. “I’ve been writing songs since I was 12, and so many times I’ve wondered if I was good at it,” Ballerini, 21, tells Billboard. “To see it work is so reassuring that this is what I’m supposed to be doing.” Black River also celebrates its first Country Airplay No. 1. “It’s a huge day for us as an independent record label,” says CEO Gordon Kerr. “So many people have embraced us. I’m thankful they took a chance on a new artist.” “Love” is the first Country Airplay No. 1 by a woman on an indie since Taylor Swift’s “Ours,” on Big Machine, on the March 31, 2012 chart. Fittingly, as “Love” was scaling the tally, Swift gave it a boost by endorsing it on Twitter March 9. —GARY TRUST om/biz for complete rules and explanations. © 2015, Prometheus Global Media, L © 2015, Prometheus om/biz for complete rules and explanations.
