Kelsea Ballerini Scores History-Making Third No. 1 Hit and Reveals Next Single

With her latest single, “Peter Pan,” hitting the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart and becoming her third No. 1 single from her debut album, Kelsea Ballerini is now revealing her next single coming to country radio.

“It’s called ‘Yeah Boy,'” Kelsea shares with Nash Country Daily. “We wanted to round out the album and kind of go back to that fun sound that it started with.”

“Yeah Boy” will be the fourth single released from her debut album, The First Time, following No. 1 hits “Love Me Like You Mean It,” “Dibs” and “Peter Pan.”

“I’m in the studio now making my second album and it’s going to cover two years rather than [ages] 12–21, so it’s going to be a little more in-depth,” adds Kelsea. “We thought it would be fun to kind of end [The First Time] on a high note, hopefully, and get a little rootsier on the next one.”

In February, Kelsea became one of only five women to notch No. 1s with their first two charted titles, joining Jamie O’Neal, Deana Carter, Faith Hill and Wynonna in the club. With “Peter Pan” reaching the No. 1 spot this week, Kelsea is now in the exclusive company of Wynonna, who is the only other female whose first three singles from a solo debut album reached No. 1. Wynonna also enjoyed an eight-year career as one-half of the super-hot duo The Judds before releasing her debut project in 1992.

Kelsea has the distinction of writing all three of her No. 1 songs, a feat not even Wynonna can match. That, my friends, is history in the making.

Can Kelsea make it four for four with her next single, “Yeah Boy?” You be the judge. Listen below:
