Stella Lefty breaks Carrie Underwood's 20-year country music record
Country music artist Stella Lefty has set a new record for the fastest-ascending debut single by a female artist in the last two decades. Her song ‘Boston’ reached number one on the Mediabase & Country Aircheck chart in 22 weeks.
This achievement surpasses the previous twenty-year record held by Carrie Underwood, whose 2006 debut ‘Jesus, Take the Wheel’ took 24 weeks to hit the top spot. However, the all-time record for the fastest-ascending debut solo on the chart remains held by Gretchen Wilson, whose ‘Redneck Woman’ reached number one in 12 weeks.
Despite the milestone, Lefty has faced online criticism regarding the melody of ‘Boston’, with some users suggesting similarities to Noah Kahan’s ‘Stick Season’. Kahan is officially credited as a writer on Lefty’s track.
