This morning Gabby was joined by label mate Ingrid Andress from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville where Gabby helped round out the nominations announcements on CMA’s YouTube and Facebook pages, and found out the exciting news live on stage which you can watch here if you missed it.

Gabby shared this message with her fans on Social Media: “Oh my goodness!!!! I’m so thankful for this morning - to be nominated not once but TWICE for New Artist and Single of the Year is overwhelming and so amazing to me, and to be included as part of the announcement was just the cherry on top," shares Barrett. "I give honor and glory to the Lord for the blessings He continues to pour out over my life, thank you to my sweet husband, my family, my teams at Warner and Red Light, the Country music community for embracing me wholeheartedly, and of course to the most loyal fans - none of this would be possible without you all! Thank you so much, I am honored and SO EXCITED!!”

The Number 1 most streamed Country song of 2020 is 2x's platinum hit single, I Hope it's writers are Gabby, Zach Kale, Jon Nite; producers: Zach Kale, and Ross Copperman is “a gleaming example of the modern Country hit’s crossover trajectory” (Stereogum) soaring to Number 1 at Country radio earlier this year reigning Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for six weeks and counting, and flying at Top 40, Hot AC and AC radio after cracking the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 last week. I Hope has shattered long-held records across the genre, short-listing Gabby as a Grammy contender and setting her apart as “the once-in-a-half-generation country artist for whom the phrase ‘next Carrie Underwood’ can be reasonably invoked in any context” (Variety).

Gabby continues her rise with current single, The Good Ones rapidly building momentum at Country radio as one of the Top 5 most added tracks this week. Amassing 2.7million on-demand streams last week alone, the “love song for the ones worth holding onto” (The Boot) sits just outside the Top 30 on Billboard’s Hot Country songs chart which is its highest position to date.

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. Karaoke was co written with Vanessa Murray and Katie Buckland, and produced by Tim Prottey/Jones of First Time Flyers. Karaoke  has an upbeat instrumental setting the tone beautifully. The first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. The second verse sees the song take another turn of when you feel like things aren't working out but you are determined to learn from the lesson it's given you. The chorus features many catchy upbeat lyrics that I could myself singing along with despite not knowing the lyrics 100% typical Kellie. There is so much passion within the lyrics and the more you hear the lyrics the more appreciation I gain. Love the summer of '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
