Stella Lefty’s ‘Boston’ Earns Country Chart Honor Last Achieved 22 Years Ago
Lefty scores a mark on Country Airplay last logged by Gretchen Wilson.
Stella Lefty's "Boston" has held the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Country Airplay chart for two consecutive weeks, marking her as the first solo-billed woman to achieve this feat since Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman" back in 2004. The song has garnered 29.5 million audience impressions between September 18 and 24, according to Luminate.
Lefty's success follows a trend of women reclaiming the top of the women's country chart, with each of the previous five solo-credited women achieving multiweek No. 1 entries since 2021. Stella Lefty's climb to the top in just 22 weeks is the fastest for a debut No. 1 by a solo woman since Wilson's record-setting "Redneck Woman" in 2004.
The song's success is accompanied by Luke Bryan's "Finders Keepers," which debuted at No. 26 on Country Airplay, marking his 101st career entry.
