Tenille Arts is celebrating the first number one of her career this week as “Somebody Like That” claims its place at the top of the country chart.
During the song’s 70-week climb to the pinnacle, Tenille performed the song on ABC’sÂ
The Bachelor, earned a spot on the prestigious New Faces show at Country Radio Seminar, and was nominated for Best New Female Artist by the Academy of Country Music.Â
But the uptempo, aspirational “Somebody Like That” can trace its beginnings back to Tenille’s own heartbreak.
“I had just gone through a breakup right before writing the song,” she tells ABC Audio. “So I had written a ton of breakup songs and was just kind of like, ‘Okay, I’m done writing those. I don’t want to write another sad song.'”
