Miranda Lambert is No. 1 With “Mama’s Broken Heart”
Miranda Lambert has a 5th number one single on her hands! She is at the top of the Country Mediabase chart this week with “Mama’s Broken Heart.”
The song is the fourth single off of her Four The Record album, and it has some familiar counrtry names attached to it. Penned by Kacey Musgraves, Shane McAnally, and Brandy Clark, the track has seen great success as well as critical acclaim and deservingly so. In my opinion, it’s one of the best country singles this year!
Miranda and company were very excited to hear the good news! Here is what they shared via Twitter:

“Songs should evoke something, whether it makes you happy and puts you in a good mood, or makes you cry and feel desperation- you know, whether you’re going through a marriage, or a divorce, or you’re in love, or you hate somebody, or whatever it is- songs should evoke something.”
Tickets are now available for the CMA Songwriters Series in New York City at joespub.com or CMASongwritersSeries.com. Will you be going? Who do you think is the best songwriter right now in country music?
Kacey Musgraves’ Album “Same Trailer Different Park” Out Now
You have probably been hearing this name more and more frequently, and I have a feeling you will continue to hear it for a long time.
The Nashville singer-songwriter made her major record label debut yesterday with her album, Same Trailer Different Park. By the way, that might be one of my favorite album titles in recent memory.
Musgraves co-produced the album with Shane McAnally and Luke Laird, and co-wrote all 12 tracks. The lead single off of the album, “Merry Go ‘Round,” was recently certified gold by the RIAA for 500k downloads.
Musgraves is definitely a stand-out when it comes to songwriting. The former Nashville Star contestant has written a couple of other songs you already know. She co-penned Miranda Lambert‘s current sassy single, “Mama’s Broken Heart.” She also co-wrote the emotional track, “Undermine,” which was one of the songs featured on ABC‘s TV hit show, Nashville.
The 2013 ACM nominated singer is not afraid to speak her mind when it comes to her music, and her lyrics are as honest and real as they get. On top of that, her voice is just as genuine and honest as her songwriting which makes for the perfect mix. The highly anticipated album from the 24-year-old definitely did not disappoint. Go grab your copy from iTunes!
