LAINEY'S BOW SHOOTS STRAIGHT

Amid the Sturm und Drang of the recent chart battle for #1, it's easy for another notable feature of the week to be overlooked. So we are duty-bound to point out the strong #8 debut by Broken Bow's Lainey Wilson—her first Top 10 bow on the overall album chart—with 48k for her Whirlwind set. It's testimony to the development of the artist by Jon Loba and team as Wilson takes her place among the true country arrivals of the last few years.
