Lady Antebellum
· Lady Antebellum formed in 2006 with Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood. The trio made their debut in 2007 as guest vocalists on Jim Brickman’s single “Never Alone,” a No. 14 hit on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. The trio also wrote a song for the MTV reality series “The Hills.” Their first country single, released at the end of 2007, was “Love Don’t Live Here.”
· Lady Antebellum won the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Duo or Group award in 2008, as well as New Artist of the Year from the Country Music Association. They also received a Best New Artist Grammy nod last year, while “Love Don’t Live Here” received a Grammy nod for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
· Lady Antebellum’s self-titled debut hit No. 4 in its opening week in May 2008. Last week, in the disc’s 94th week on the chart, it climbed 1 spot to No. 15. “Love Don’t Live Here” peaked inside the Top 5. A second single, “Lookin’ for a Good Time,” peaked at No. 11. The single “I Run to You” marked their first No. 1.
