We told you about how Jessica Simpson has gone country on us.
Now after her debut single was released to country music stations around the country last week, I’m deeply disturbed to report that the track debuted at number 41 on Billboard’s country single charts.
This means that Jessica is the highest charting debut solo artist in the history of Billboard’s country singles chart!
Yes, Jessica Simpson… the ‘horrible remake of these boots are made for walkin’ Jessica Simpson.
I wish this was a joke, but sadly I’m not kidding. Yea, I’m speechless too.
I don’t really listen to country music, but I could tell “Come On Over” wasn’t the best.
The previous record belonged to Miranda Lambert and Brad Cotter who both debuted at number 42.
Well you guys just got beat by Jessica Simpson– how does that feel?!
Upon hearing the news, Jess said,
“I got chills and butterflies in my stomach. It felt like the first time I heard myself on the radio when I was 19. Country is where my heart is. It’s refreshing to share something that feels so close to home. I am so honored to become a part of the country community.”
Hmmm.. country is where your heart is, aye? Then please stay there… pop music doesn’t want you anymore.
Jess’ album will be released in the fall. Right now she’s in Nashville prepping for the CMA Music Festival.
Anyways, congrats for making a comeback yet again!
