GABBY BARRETT EARNS THE MOST FIRST-WEEK DEBUT ALBUM STREAMS FOR ANY COUNTRY ACT IN HISTORY WITH GOLDMINE
“Breakout star” (Forbes) Gabby Barrett shines brightly as GOLDMINE officially earns the most first-week debut album streams for any country act in history. With more than 16.1 million on-demand streams since its release on June 19, the album struck gold in both streams and sales. Warner Music Nashville’s “new queen of comeuppance” (PEOPLE) makes a bold statement as Goldmine summits the Current Country Album Sales chart and enters in the Top 5 of the Top Country Albums chart with nearly 20,000 equivalents. She is the first debut female to achieve the latter since 2017.
"Wow!!! Oh my gosh, I feel so overwhelmed and so blessed by this first week," shares Gabby. "GOLDMINE is truly a representation of who I am as an artist, person and songwriter, so to see this and feel this kind of love and support is just a dream. I am so grateful for my team at Warner Music Nashville and Red Light Management, thank you to them, my husband, family, friends, co-writers, producers and my amazing fans. This would not be possible without you all, so thank you so so much for making this a moment I will never forget.”
Added Warner Music Nashville Chairman & CEO John Esposito: “I am incredibly gratified and deeply humbled that Gabby Barrett barrelled past this streaming record with her debut album. From one western Pennsylvanian to another, I couldn’t be one iota prouder of her. I know the entire Warner Music Nashville team looks forward to continuing to make history together.”
The success of Goldmine began with its lead single, the Platinum-certified smash hit, I Hope. The “searing breakup anthem” (ABC Radio) skyrocketed to Number 1 on the country airplay charts making Gabby the youngest artist in over two decades to accomplish that feat with a debut single and is currently rising at both Hot AC and Top 40.
It marks its 11th total week reigning atop Nielsen’s country on-demand overall streaming chart, and it is currently the second most-streamed country song of the year. Gabby's current single The Good Ones is quickly following suit as it connects with country radio listeners. Gabby performed both songs and more during her Live From The Goldmine album release celebration (23rd June). Check it out here.
The Billboard short-listed Grammy contender touts writing credits on 12 of 13 songs on the buzzed-about debut. Gabby teamed up with Nashville mainstay songwriters Nicolle Galyon, Emily Weisband, Jon Nite, Josh Osborne and more to craft the stories she aimed to tell. Ross Copperman and Zach Kale, both featured as songwriters, co-produced Goldmine with additional production by Jimmy Robbins, Sam Martin and Bryan Fowler on select tracks.
Received with rave reviews, Goldmine has been praised for its “powerhouse vocals and ability to seamlessly cross over from country to pop,” (People) as well as “an uncommonly mature outlook from such a new artist… and a sign that this Goldmine may be a mother lode” (Billboard).
