Jelly Roll is making history with the music from his debut country album, Whitsitt Chapel. As of this week, his current single, “Need A Favor” made him the first artist to ever have the same song simultaneously in the Top 10 of both the Country Airplay chart and Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, after it made it’s way into the Top 10 at country radio over the weekend, coming in at #8 on the Mediabase chart (one of two charts used to track performance).
The song is currently sitting at #3 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart as well, according to Billboard.
It was of course included on Jelly’s recent debut country album Whitsitt Chapel, and was written by Jelly Roll along with Rob Ragosta, Joe Ragosta and Austin Nivarel.
in 2022, Jelly notched a Top 10 on both charts with two different songs, “Dead Man Walking” and his first #1 hit at country radio, “Son of a Sinner,” becoming just the eighth act to ever do so.
Other artists to have appeared in the Top 10 of both charts (but not simultaneously) include Bon Jovi, Zac Brown Band, Brantley Gilbert, Kid Rock, Dave Matthews, Sting and Travis Tritt and Hardy as of last year with “Jack.”
Jelly Roll makes a stop on his “Backroad Baptism Tour” at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on Saturday, September 30. Tickets are available Ticketmaster.com.
