We’ll find out next week if Jimmie Allen can hold on to the number spot in the US with the Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones Saturday morning and then again Sunday night on Kissin’ 977.Nashville, TN – Bobby Bones and The Raging Idiots’, the comedy group comprised of Bobby Bones and Producer Eddie from iHeartMedia’s The Bobby Bones Show, first full-length children’s album, THE RAGING KIDIOTS: KIDDY UP!(Black River Entertainment), debuted as the top downloaded children’s album this week. But…that’s another story for another time.

Lady Gaga has proven to the world how diverse she is, singing any genre asked of her. Of course I wondered why the Lady Gaga + Bradley Cooper original didn’t became a country hit. Personally, Jimmie Allen’s cover could have been played on country radio, but the king of country Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood beat them to it, and became a mild country hit. When the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper movie Star is Born was released, many artists covered the song, Shallow…including Jimmie Allen with Abby Anderson (who by the way, I think could be the next big rising star to watch). In 2018, Best Shot was released to country radio, and program directors, disc jockeys, and country listeners fell in love the ‘new kid in town’. Then suddenly his song Blue Jean Baby was added to Spotify’s United States Viral 50 Chart. He would later team up to tour with American Idol winner Scotty McCreery, where Allen was finally getting some notice. When he moved to Nashville trying to make it in country music, he lived in his car, experiencing poverty. Most people never knew that Jimmie Allen actually auditioned for American Idol during season 10, but never made it past the live voting rounds.
