![]() With his third solo album Renewal released on September 24th, Billy Strings has put the country music world on alert that he’s a force to be reckoned with, disrupting the Billboard Country Charts with a strong debut at #1 in physical sales in country, at #9 on the Billboard Country Albums chart that factors in streaming, while also going #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart, and #1 on the Emerging Artists chart.īilly Strings sold 8,135 albums in physical copies and downloads of Renewal, which was good enough for #1 in hard units in country, just edging out Star-Crossed by Kacey Musgraves. All the touring, all the stellar performances, all the live streams, all the great songs and the sowing of grassroots with blood and sweat from a prodigy musician to now a 29-year-old modern musical marvel, it’s all resulted in the shattering of whatever ceiling usually resides over an independent artist, and even critics now must pay attention and tip a hat. ![]() ![]() This is one of those moments when it all gets real.
