Jelly Roll has been on something of a winning streak on the Billboard charts, one that has lasted several years now. The multi-genre star scores more than half a dozen hits across the American rankings this week, thanks to a mix of tunes from his most recent full-length Beautifully Broken as well as a handful of collaborations, as he has become a go-to for other artists looking to lend some credibility and star power to their latest releases.
Three of Jelly’s tunes rise to new peaks on the charts this week, and they largely take different routes to their exciting positions.
“Heart of Stone” Rises
“Heart of Stone” is Jelly’s only track to establish a new peak on more than one ranking in the United States this frame. His solo cut appears on three Billboard charts, and it just misses a breakthrough on one of them – and only barely. “Heart of Stone” lifts three spaces to No. 28 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tally and one rung to No. 24 on the Country Airplay list, heights the cut has never seen before.
“Hard Fought Hallelujah” Climbs
Jelly sees two tracks surge to new highs on the Country Airplay tally, which is often considered one of the most competitive radio rankings in the nation. “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” his duet with Christian superstar Brandon Lake, climbs one space to No. 44, which now stands as its top showing.
“Unpretty” Improves After American Idol Boost
After debuting at No. 8 last week on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, “Unpretty” improves its standing and now appears at No. 6. The track — also taken from Beautifully Broken — became a hit after Jelly performed it during the recent season finale of American Idol.
“Bloodline” Debuts
In addition to those three tracks which are soaring, Jelly also scores a brand new hit, which automatically establishes a high point as it arrives, and which could climb in the coming weeks. “Bloodline,” a collaboration with Alex Warren, debuts on a trio of U.S.-based lists, thanks in part to the ongoing success of the newcomer’s “Ordinary.”
It launches highest on the Digital Song Sales chart, coming in at No. 5. The track kicks off its time at No. 32 on that all-encompassing Hot 100 ranking, and No. 18 on the Streaming Songs roster.
