Two black country singers just made history today. Jimmie Allen‘s debut single “Best Shot” debuted at no. 1, making him the first black artist to score a career no.1 with a debut single at country radio.

Alongside, Georgia native, Kane Brown‘s sophomore album, Experiment debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the third country release to earn the spot in 2018. It’s also the first country sophomore album to reach no. 1 on the 200 chart since 2014. It even earned the most first-day streams for a country album in the U.S. ever on Apple Music. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter’ 2016 self-titled debut album peaked at no. 5 on the chart.

Allen is slated to accompany Brown on his Live Forever Tour starts in January.

“If someone asked me two years ago if I thought that this would be my life today—that I’d be on the red carpet at the CMAs or my song would be the No. 1 song on country radio, I would have honestly said no,” said Allen in a press statement.

Brown has also been vocal about being a black artist in country music. According to the Tennessean, in a now deleted tweet, he wrote “some people in Nashville who have pub(lishing) deals won’t write with me because I’m black,” and spoke about “getting looked down on just because of your skin” at the CMA Music Festival earlier this year.
