“Wildflowers and Wild Horses” top the country radio charts
Lainey Wilson has received her seventh consecutive No. 1 song on country radio via Broken Bow Records with “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” off her critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning album Bell Bottom Country. The track is the third single from Bell Bottom Country and has amassed over 125 million global streams.
Written by Wilson, Trannie Anderson, and Paul Sikes and produced by Grammy Award winner Jay Joyce, “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” is a reflective tale of Wilson’s life “barefoot and bareback.” Southern yet soulful, the track is accompanied by Wilson’s signature sound and blends elements of Western, rock, and Americana, bringing forth a modern yet traditional country song, reflective of her upbringings and personal growth, echoing the dichotomy of her roots and journey beyond.
“It’s such an honor to have ‘Wildflowers and Wild Horses,’ No. 1 at country radio. This song has such a special place in my heart, as a fifth-generation farmer’s daughter and someone who grew up on wide open land,” Wilson shares. “Thank you to my collaborators, Jay Joyce, Trannie Anderson, and Paul Sikes for helping bring this track to life. And to my fans, my wild horses, this is your theme song; none of this would be possible without you.”
Wilson has won a People’s Choice Award for Female Country Artist of The Year, a CMT Music Award for Female Video of The Year, and made her Australian touring debut in 2024. With no signs of slowing down, fans can catch Wilson on her Country’s Cool Again North American 2024 headlining tour and on the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM) stage later this month in Frisco, Texas.
On May 29th, her special, Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country, will begin streaming on Hulu. The documentary takes fans inside Wilson’s rise to fame and her struggles.
Wilson may also become the second female artist (behind Miranda Lambert) to open a Broadway-area bar in Nashville. Florida Georgia Line’s FGL House on 2nd Ave closed suddenly last weekend without warning. The Nashville Business Journal reports Wilson will open a honky tonk in the now vacant space.
