Just about three weeks ago when Kelsea Ballerini opened up for Lady Antebellum in Bangor, we had the opportunity to talk with her about her first single 'Love Me Like You Mean It' and what it would mean to her about the song going No. 1. Well Kelsea, looks like crossing your fingers worked.

Kelsea is the first female to have her debut single reach the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart since Carrie Underwood. She’s the first female solo artist to hit No. 1 in almost three years. She’s the first female not named Carrie, Taylor or Miranda to celebrate her first No. 1 since Gretchen Wilson did it in 2004.

Congratulations, Kelsea from your believers at Q-106.5!
