(And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert. The award-winning song reached #1 on both Billboard’s Country Airplay and Mediabase/Country Aircheck Charts, marking the first woman-woman collaboration to reach the top spot on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart since Reba McEntire and Linda Davis’ “Does He Love You.”
King recently released her new album, “Come Get Your Wife,” to rave reviews and a Top 10 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart. Co-producing the album and writing eight of tracks, the record includes “Drunk,” “Out Yonder,” “Try Jesus,” and her Top 30 single “Worth A Shot,” featuring Dierks Bentley. This is the second time King and Bentley have teamed up, following their Grammy-nominated, CMA Award winning, RIAA Platinum-certified No. 1 hit “Different for Girls.”
King is the first female artist in history to have scored radio No. 1 singles on four different formats, including Adult Pop Songs, Adult Alternative Songs, Alternative Songs and Country Airplay charts. Her debut album Love Stuff featured her breakthrough single “Ex’s & Oh’s,” which earned her two GRAMMY nominations and is certified 4x times platinum.
Her nearly 30-city headline A-FREAKIN-MEN Tour Presented by Slow & Low has played to sold-out venues and rave reviews since it kicked-off Valentine’s Day in New Orleans.
