Fresh off his stint co-hosting CBS TELEVISION's NEW YEAR’S EVE LIVE: NASHVILLE’S BIG BASH, STONEY CREEK RECORDS artist JIMMIE ALLEN is back at #1 at Country radio with "down home." The single previously, his fourth career #1, topped the MEDIABASE Country chart for the week ending DECEMBER 17th (NET NEWS 12/20/22). It was supplanted in that position the following week by JORDAN DAVIS' "What My World Spins Around," but returned for the current chart week.
Commenting on his most recent chart topper, ALLEN shared on INSTAGRAM, “Thank you to Country radio for helping me share the memory of my father through this song. My [co-writers] CAMERON BEDELL, TATE HOWELL and RIAN BALL, I’m thankful to y’all for pushing me to do this song, but I also thank you for being patient and writing it with me when I was emotionally ready … To every person that listened to this song, thank you. I read every message about how this song related to you and the person you lost. I’m sending love and peace your way in dealing with your loss.”
THE MCA NASHVILLE team, meanwhile, is gearing up for a return to the top for DAVIS (currently at #3) during next week's published chart week, requesting max spins starting on FRIDAY, JANUARY 6th.
In other ALLEN news, he has been invited to be the keynote speaker at DELAWARE STATE UNIVERSITY's undergraduate commencement on MAY 12th. ALLEN attended the HBCU school, and will be nominated by its PRESIDENT to receive an honorary degree during the commencement.
