Star scores 25th week atop Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart
Jelly Roll has made Billboard history on their Emerging Artists chart. Last week, the Stoney Creek Records/BMG recording artist landed a record-breaking 25th week at No. 1, besting the previous 24 week record set in 2019-2020, for most weeks at No. 1 on the chart.
Jelly Roll’s streak was powered by his chart-topping songs “Dead Man Walking” and “Son Of A Sinner,” as well as “She” and his newest single, “Need A Favor.” His latest studio album release, Ballads Of The Broken, was released by BMG in 2021.
This week (chart week dated February 18, 2023), “Need A Favor” is No. 21 Country Digital Song Sales, No. 39 Country Airplay, and No. 43 Hot Country Songs, meanwhile on the Billboard Rock charts the song is No. 13 Rock Digital Song Sales, re-enters the Hot Rock Songs chart at No. 20, and is No. 25 Hot Rock & Alternative Songs,
“Son Of A Sinner” comes in at No. 7 Rock Digital Song Sales, No. 8 Rock Streaming Songs, and No. 13 Country Digital Song Sales, while “She” re-enters the Hot Rock & Alternative chart at No. 50.
Recently, following the rise of his first No. 1 at country radio, Nashville’s breakout new star praised the role of Stoney Creek and BMG saying, “I want to take a second to thank my label Stoney Creek and BMG — [Jon] Loba and his misfits — y’all took the biggest chance. Every label in town told me I had a better chance signing with a label in LA than to ever have a chance in this town with my history — not only did that not scare BMG, it made them want to double down and go all in!”
