Gabby Barrett, aka the new queen of country, is releasing her 1st album Goldmine next Friday (19th June) She gained steam after I Hope (an ultraviolenceland bjsc entry x) took off and definitely seems to be country's next star <3 She gained fame through American Idol and many are comparing her to being Carrie Underwood's successor *.*

Album tracklist:
1) I Hope
2) Thank God
3) Write It on My Heart
4) Footprints On The Moon
5) You're The Only Reason
6) Goldmine
7) The Good Ones
8) Jesus & My Mama
9) Hall Of Fame
10) Got Me
11) Rose Needs a Jack
12) Strong
13) I Hope (feat. Charlie Puth)

so far just under half the album has been released! (both I Hope's, Footprints, Good Ones, Hall Of Fame & Got Me). All are so good, I Hope is by far the best but everything else is fab <3 (and the order in the brackets is order of quality tbh)

I Hope which is Gabby's debut & breakthrough single! This has already smashed in America (peaking at #16) and is gonna hang around in the charts FOREVER now cos its crossing over to pop! <3 a modern day before he cheats *.*


New song Footprints On The Moon that was released today, such a fab song and immediately instant!


The current US single that seems like it's gonna be another US hit

08 Hall of Fame

Album loses it towards the end but a solid debut I think. She’s here to stay

11 I Hope - one of the best songs of the year
09 Thank God - this is great, the chorus is so good!
09.5 Write It On My Heart - LOVE this, def will be a 10 soon
10 Footprints On The Moon - a pre-release highlight *.*
08.5 You're The Only Reason I'm Here - another rly cute song <3 I don't know if I'll go back to this one as much as some of the others
07 Goldmine - I'm not sure on the chorus aha. this is one of those imma love soon or it's gonna irritate me so much by like 5th listen
10 The Good Ones - this was more of an 8/9 on my first few listens but I utterly adore it now <3
10 Jesus & My Mama - another one that'll probs be a 10 soon acc screw it lemme give this a 10, this is SO Carrie, I LOVE it!!
09 Hall Of Fame - love this song <3
08 Got Me - another rly good song pre-release but not a major fave
07 Rose Needs a Jack - this is a bit filler-y. this was the one I was probs most hyped for based on song title before I listened aha
08 Strong - another rly good track <3
08 I Hope - Charlie isn't amazing on this but his solid enough and the song remains fab as usual *.*

easily one of the best albums of the year and a fantastic debut! <3 Think this is probs straight in my top 5 of the year gonna be goin back to this so much *.*

haha I decided to listen to all the old tracks again or it would've been over so quickly yasss I'm glad you loved the album too <3

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 18th June 2020, 11:59 PM

Listening to the album on repeat and some songs are already growing, may do another rate at the end of the week 😂😂😂

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 19th June 2020, 12:00 AM

SO glad to come across another fan, she could be a global smash with the right management and promo I think!

Posted by: Jonjo 19th June 2020, 12:22 AM

She better not do a Maren and MESS THIS UP with her next era. Maren had potential to branch out FURTHER, but ended up playing it too safe, I think.

I forgot this got released today, but I'll listen to this tomorrow! I LOVE 'I Hope'.

Posted by: UltraReputation 19th June 2020, 01:11 AM

same here aha <3


Same Yeah I think she can, idk if global but I definitely think she can reach Carrie's success in America with the right management/promo. I Hope really has been gigantic (and is now gonna hang around forever now that its really taking off on pop radio *.*) and The Good Ones def seems like a successful 2nd single choice and its updates so far have been promising <3

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 20th June 2020, 10:31 PM

Still got this on repeat!

Posted by: UltraBeKind 21st June 2020, 11:21 PM

Same here

I Hope/Jesus & My Mama/Write It On My Heart/Thank God/Footprints On The Moon is def my top 5, obsessed with all of them <3

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 21st June 2020, 11:30 PM

Write It on My Heart is my definite favourite of the whole album!

Posted by: UltraFolklore 11th August 2020, 11:21 AM

I Hope is finally top 15 in America after so many close misses!!

with the way its still rising on radio + holding solidly on sales/streaming, I wonder if it could sneak into the top 10 eventually? This becoming such a gigantic hit in America has been amazing to see <3

Posted by: Joey Orfino 11th August 2020, 03:48 PM

That is huge for a country song by a woman, specially a debut single.

Posted by: UltraFolklore 17th August 2020, 06:10 PM

Omg #11 this week!!!!!

Surpasses the peak of the bones and I wanna say it’s the highest charting solo female country song on hot 100 since Red?! 😮 And meant to be is the only country song with any female vocals on to go top 10 in forever so hopefully I hope can join that soon!

Posted by: Jonjoliday 17th August 2020, 07:40 PM

I really don't get how MTB is a country song, but it is what it is I guess :')

But amazing news for this! Really, REALLY hoping it gets top 10 next few weeks!

Posted by: Liаm 18th August 2020, 01:33 AM

Finally got round to the album, I Hope is a contender for song of year for me ofc but I also loved Thank God, Jesus & My Mama and The Good Ones, a really solid debut, I really think she's gonna be the next big country star, like a mini Carrie Underwood. She gets the comparison so much especially coming from Idol, but it feels so right.

I really am SO invested in I Hope going top 10 on the Hot 100, there's so few crossover top 10s for women in country, in terms of actually starting as a country hit and then going over to the Hot 100 top 10, I honestly think the last one for a solo female must have been Before He Cheats?! That's insane to say as that was 13 years ago, but it would be monumental if she not only did that, but did that with her debut single! The only other one I can think of is Cruise by FGL and that doesn't count as music x

As for Meant To Be, I'd say it's JUST about country but it only went #1 because it's basically an FGL song, had it been Bebe solo there is NO chance it would have done what it did

Posted by: UltraFolklore 24th August 2020, 06:16 PM

top 10 omfg!!!!!!

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 24th August 2020, 06:26 PM

Was just about to come and comment this, amazing news!!!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 3rd October 2020, 02:50 PM

'I Hope' is back in the US top 10 this week, now with Charlie Puth credited!

Posted by: Simon. 7th October 2020, 10:49 AM

Such a good song well deserved, Charlie Puth was never needed in it.

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 7th October 2020, 10:35 PM

Agreed, for me the solo version is FAR superior

Posted by: Fallin' Folklore 12th October 2020, 09:44 PM

Up to #8 in the US now and matching the peak of before he cheats!!!! Absolutely insane

boo at Charlie being credited but I'm glad this managed to go top 10 before that happened anyway aha!

Posted by: Tafty 13th October 2020, 06:32 AM

Yyyyeeesss! Amazing news

Posted by: UltraFolklore 9th November 2020, 06:01 PM

top 5

longest ever climb to the top 5 in billboard chart history

Posted by: Simon. 9th November 2020, 06:25 PM

So deserves it’s such a good song, hope she brings it to the UK.

Posted by: Wall 9th November 2020, 06:35 PM

It’s a shame she’s a huge trump supporter

Posted by: Simon. 9th November 2020, 08:00 PM

Oh that’s awkward I didn’t know that.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th November 2020, 06:17 PM

Woah "I Hope" is up to #3 in the US now

Posted by: Tafty 16th November 2020, 08:10 PM

What a song. Great achievement, especially for a female Country artist!

I see Charlie Puth is still credited though, which is a shame. But eh.

Posted by: Bré 16th November 2020, 08:15 PM

That moment when a song Sam entered to BJSC in January (after it had already entered the Hot 100) is still climbing halfway through November.

For what it's worth it looks like it's the solo version that's being streamed more (solo #148 and Charlie version only #742 on Apple Music, can't tell on Spotify as neither version is top 200 there). Charlie is just credited because that's the version being played more on radio I assume, and it is radio airplay that makes up the large majority of its chart points. (The Charlie version is higher than the original on iTunes as well for what little that counts though).

Posted by: UltraEvermore 8th January 2021, 05:47 PM

I Hope enters the UK charts at 89 this week not sure it'll go much higher but I'm so glad it managed a top 100 peak just over a year after I became obsessed with it def wasn't expecting it to crossover here at all!

Annoyingly Charlie is credited as the solo version is the one doing well on apple music

Posted by: UltraEvermore 15th January 2021, 05:47 PM

new peak of 84 this week, hopefully it can go top 75 sometime!

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 16th January 2021, 02:41 AM

I’m glad it’s getting recognised here too! Was obsessed when it was out in 2019... a true hit 💙
