Miranda Lambert has a huge reason to celebrate right now. Her current single, “Bluebird,” just became a #1 song!
Lambert took to social media to announce that “Bluebird” was perched at the #1 spot on the Mediabase chart. She mentioned how it has been six years since she had a #1 solo song on that chart, and it has been eight years since she had a #1 solo song on the Billboard charts.
“2020 hasn’t offered a whole lot to celebrate, especially for musicians,” Miranda said. “But I am celebrating this week. I’m celebrating happiness and the feeling of artistic freedom in a time where we all feel a little caged. I’m celebrating country music and all the joy it has brought to my life.“

Other artists quickly congratulated Lambert once she announced “Bluebird” was a #1 song.
“Congrats Miranda!!! You deserve a lot better than one in 6-8 years. Great song and very proud for you,” tweeted Lambert’s good friend, Randy Houser.
