🎤 American Idol’s Breanna Nix Makes History: Debut Single “Higher” Soars to No. 1 on Country Charts 🚀
Nashville, TN – June 2025 – The country music world has a new rising star, and her name is Breanna Nix. Just weeks after capturing the nation’s attention on American Idol 2025, the breakout singer has made chart history with her debut single “Higher,” which has officially soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
Released only 10 days ago, “Higher” has quickly become a runaway hit, earning millions of streams across platforms and securing the top spot on radio playlists from Nashville to Los Angeles. The single, co-written by Nix alongside hitmakers Shane McAnally and Nicolle Galyon, is an uplifting anthem of resilience and self-belief—a message that clearly resonated with listeners nationwide.
“I wrote ‘Higher’ during a moment when I needed to remind myself of my worth,” Nix shared in an emotional interview. “To now see that song lift others the same way—it’s the greatest feeling in the world.”
The song’s powerful lyrics, paired with Nix’s soaring vocals and raw emotional delivery, have drawn comparisons to Carrie Underwood’s early hits and even sparked buzz among industry veterans. “She’s not just a voice—she’s a movement,” said country music icon Reba McEntire in a recent backstage Opry interview.
A Star Is Born – And the Industry Knows It
Since her Grand Ole Opry debut, which received a thunderous standing ovation and a surprise duet with Luke Bryan, Breanna Nix has been at the center of a whirlwind of record deals, tour offers, and media appearances. Capitol Records Nashville confirmed her signing just days after “Higher” dropped—and insiders say a debut album is already in the works for late 2025.
Fans React: “It’s More Than a Song—It’s a Moment”
Social media has exploded with reactions from fans who have dubbed “Higher” the “anthem of the summer.” On TikTok and Instagram, thousands have used the track to soundtrack stories of triumph, healing, and personal growth.
“She’s the voice I didn’t know I needed,” one fan tweeted. “Breanna’s song made me believe in myself again.”
What’s Next for Breanna Nix?
With her debut single already cementing her as a chart-topping artist, Breanna Nix is set to perform at the 2025 CMA Fest and has hinted at a national headlining tour later this year.
As for “Higher,” it’s not just climbing the charts—it’s climbing into hearts.
