Stella Lefty’s new EP, Is This Heaven?, arrives at No. 9 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (dated May 30) with 20,000 equivalent album units May 15-21, according to Luminate. With the launch, she becomes the first woman to earn an initial top 10 on the chart this year.
Two of the EP’s tracks are scaling Hot Country Songs, led by “Boston,” which rises 5-4 in its seventh week on 14.3 million official streams (up 16%), 4.2 million in radio audience (up 20%) and 2,000 sold. The climb makes her just the fifth solo-billed woman in the chart’s multimetric era, which began in 2012, to reach the top four within seven weeks of her first entry, joining Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Dasha and Cassadee Pope. “Boston” concurrently rises 36-32 on Country Airplay in its fifth week with 4.1 million audience impressions (up 19%; it’s also drawing early pop play).
