CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED COUNTRY NEWCOMER JIMMIE ALLEN CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY AS “BEST SHOT” CRUISES INTO TOP 40
Stoney Creek Records’ Jimmie Allen celebrates his birthday today as his debut single, “Best Shot,”
cruises into the Top 40 on the Mediabase Country Chart after debuting
as the 2nd Most Added song at Country radio. “Best Shot” was first
introduced to the world through Jimmie’s self-titled EP, which was
released in October and subsequently earned him recognition on nearly
every “One to Watch” list for 2018.
“Thank
you, Country radio for giving me this incredible birthday present,”
said Jimmie Allen. “The fact that my first single has made it to the Top
40 is incredible and I appreciate all of your support. I will never
forget this.”
The music video for the song recently premiered on CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown, watch it here.
Drawing inspiration from advice from his grandmother, the
self-reflective song has resonated with fans in a unique way with many
stories of fans using the track as their first dance song at their
wedding. Just the other day, while making his CMA Fest debut, a man
proposed to his girlfriend while Jimmie was performing “Best Shot.”
Jimmie noticed their special moment from the stage and actually invited
the couple to join him up there to share in their excitement.
In
addition to several performances, Country newcomer had a packed CMA
Fest schedule which included hosting duties as the artist correspondent
for the daily recap of the festival. The video, which was played on the
screen at Nissan Stadium can be seen here.
Listen to “Best Shot,” which Jimmie co-wrote with Josh London and J.P. Williams here.
