The breakthrough single hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, topped the AAA, Hot AC and Alternative Radio charts and propelled King to become the second female artist in 18 years to reach No. 1 for the latter format. Her 2016 collaboration with Dierks Bentley on “Different for Girls,” also scored No. 1 on the Country Airplay charts and won the CMA Award for “Musical Event of the Year.”
Her single “Shame,” featured on her second studio album “Shake The Spirit,” was King’s fourth radio No. 1 single and marked King as the only act in history to have scored No. 1 singles on the adult pop, adult alternative, alternative and country airplay charts.
