Lady Antebellum has become the latest musical act to score a No. 1 hit single from NBC’s songwriting competition “Songland.”
The band selected songwriter Madeline Merlo’s “Champagne Night” as the song the seven-time Grammy Award-winning trio would record together and release as a “Songland” single. The track slid on up to the top of the iTunes County Chart Tuesday following Monday night’s episode.
“Champagne Night’ is the eighth song from the NBC competition series to top an iTunes chart. The last one to do it was OneRepublic’s “Somebody to Love,” which climbed No. 1 on the iTunes Pop Chart and No. 2 on the Overall chart back in September after its release following the first season finale.

Chimbala’s “Rueda” is a slippery single. The cheerful melody evokes the golden oldie “Stand by Me,” preparing listeners for warm expressions of eternal affection. But that’s a feint — the Dominican singer uses this backdrop to say “good riddance” to an ex.
Merging this combination with a galloping beat gave Chimbala his biggest hit: “Rueda” has nearly 30 million streams on Spotify and another 20 million on YouTube. The singer released a new version of the track on Thursday, with help from two Spanish collaborators, Omar Montes — who hit Number One...
