With her third #1 hit “Peter Pan,” Kelsea Ballerini is the only female artist in country music history, including female duos and groups, to go #1 with her first three consecutive singles from a debut album.
Topping both Country Aircheck and Billboard Country Airplay charts this week, “Peter Pan” earns double #1’s on Billboard by also landing atop the Hot Country Songs chart. Following Florida Georgia Line’s impressive 18-week reign at #1 with “H.O.L.Y.,” Ballerini is the first woman to reach #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts simultaneously. Additionally, “Peter Pan” also reached its highest selling singles week at 26,652 units according to Nielsen Soundscan.
“Great Artist, Great Song, Great Team! As the CEO of Black River Entertainment, it is my honor to take time and celebrate as each of our companies grow,” said Gordon Kerr. “I am so proud of Black River Publishing, Black River Studios, Black River Records and of course, our amazing writer and recording artist, Kelsea Ballerini who is a part of them all. From the very beginning, we have understood that this just doesn’t happen by ourselves. Thank you to all of our industry partners, early believers, and country radio, who have come along side us on this incredible journey. To Mike Wilson and our fantastic promotion staff, thank you for working so hard to make dreams come true!”
Reflecting on this incredible feat, Ballerini took to Instagram expressing her thanks to everyone who helped make this fairytale a reality, with a little help from J. M. Barrie’s famous story “…all it takes is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust.”
Written by Ballerini, Jesse Lee, and Forest Glen Whitehead, “Peter Pan” is flying high digitally too with more than 22 million streams on Spotify worldwide and the epic adrenaline-fueled music video, directed by Kristin Barlowe, is nearing 15 million views on Vevo.
