Brittany Howard scores high with her latest solo

More than seven years after ruling Billboards’s Adult Alternative Songs as a part of Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard scores her first solo No.1 single with ‘Stay High’.

Howards reign, marks her second overall trip to the top of the chart, after leading as part of Alabama Shakes, “Hold On”. Howard is the first artist to top the tally solo after leading with a band since ‘The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, whose, “Shine on Me” ruled in July 2017. She now ranks among the popular solo music club consisting of Tom Petty (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), Dave Mathews (Dave Mathews Band), Ben Harper (Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals) and Rob Thomas (Matchbox Twenty).

Howard is also the second soloist (woman) to lead Adult Alternative Songs in 2019, following Maggie Rogers’ “Lights On”.
