After spending two weekâs at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart (Nov. 24 and Dec. 1), Jimmie Allenâs âBest Shotâ was bested by Kane Brownâs âLose Itâ last week (Dec. 8).
This week, âBest Shotâ is back on top, making Jimmie the first artist in 10 years to have a single return to No. 1 after relinquishing its crown. The last artist to accomplish the feat was Jimmy Wayne in 2008 with âDo You Believe in Me Now.â
Written by Jimmie, Josh London and JP Williams, âBest Shotâ is the first single from Jimmieâs debut album, Mercury Lane.
âIn writing this song, we just wanted to be honest with ourselves and write something that others can empathize with,â says Jimmie.
Jimmie joined Darius Rucker as the only African-American country artists to hit No. 1 with their debut singles. Darius, who became a household name in the early 1990s as the frontman of Hootie & the Blowfish, accomplished the feat in 2008 with âDonât Think I Donât Think About It,â which remained No. 1 for two weeks.
