Brantley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell reach number one with What Happens in a Small Town

Brantley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell have hit number one with collaboration What Happens in a Small Town.

The lead single from Gilbert’s fifth studio album Fire & Brimstone, What Happens in a Small Town was written by Gilbert with Rhett Akins, Brock Berryhill and Josh Dunne. Watch the video for the track below:

ā€œI want to give the fans a lot of credit for the life of this song,ā€ shares Gilbert. ā€œFrom the beginning, they shared it, streamed it and called up radio to hear it. Iā€™ve been there ā€” drivinā€™ around home seeing all the people and places that I used to avoid to keep from thinkinā€™ about the one that got away. I think we all have that person, those people, those placesā€¦ and this song.ā€

ā€œI have dreamed of having my first No. 1 since I was a little girl,ā€ adds Ell. ā€œIt honestly feels surreal, and to be able to celebrate it during CMA Awards week in Nashville makes it even more special. Iā€™m honored Brantley, Scott Borchetta and Jon Loba asked me to be a part of this song. From the minute I heard ā€˜What Happens in a Small Townā€™ for the first time I knew it was a hit that would connect with people, and now itā€™s changing my life as an artist. Iā€™m beyond grateful.ā€

What Happens In A Small Town is nominated for CMAā€™s Musical Event of the Year at the CMA Awards, which take place tonight in Nashville.
