What are Lady A's biggest country songs?
'I Run To You' (2009)
Considered one of their best love ballads to date, 'I Run to You' helped catapult Lady A to an all-new high. This final single from their debut 'Lady Antebellum' album was the group's first Number 1 and was awarded both a Grammy and a CMA award.

'Need You Now' (2010)
Arguably their biggest song to date, 'Need You Now' was not only a huge country hit, but it also crossed into various pop and AC radio charts including the Billboard Hot 100. The 9x Platinum-selling single, which was taken from the 'Need You Know' album, won four Grammy awards for the group in 2011.

'American Honey' (2010)

'Just A Kiss' (2011)
The double-Platinum 'Just a Kiss' tells the story of two lovers - like many of Lady A's song. It reached Number 1 upon its release in early 2011 and was the lead single from the 'Own the Night' album (2011).

'You Look Good' (2017)
After a brief hiatus, Lady A came back swinging in 2017 with 'You Look Good', the lead single from their 'Heart Break' album. The feel-good single achieved a Grammy nomination and reached Number 3 on the US Country Airplay chart.

'Bartender' (2014)
Upbeat track 'Bartender' was released in May 2014, with the song having been written by the talented trio and Rodney Clawson. Now certified Platinum in the US, the song also reached the Number 1 spot on the Country Airplay chart across the pond, as well as Number 4 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

'Downtown' (2013)
January 2013 saw the release of Lady A's ever-popular track 'Downtown', which was released as the first single from their fifth studio album, 'Golden'. Described as a 'burst of sunshine', it's not surprise that the track climbed to the Number 1 spot on the US Country Airplay chart - after debuting at Number 25, marking their highest chart debut at that point.

'Compass' (2013)
Another 2013 release was Lady A's 'Compass', which was the third single from 'Golden'. Hillary spoke of how the song 'reinvigorated' the band creatively and inspired a new musical direction, telling Billboard: "From the minute we first heard it, we believed in the message and the overall feel of the song. We knew we could put our own little overall spin on it. We had to have the fans hear it – immediately." The song, of course, peaked at Number 1 on the US Country Airplay, as well as Number 6 on the US Hot Country Songs.

'Ocean' (2019)
'Ocean' was released in November 2019 as the titular track to their eighth studio album of the same name - which debuted at Number 2 on the US Top Country Albums chart. The melodic track was a hit with fans, with the music video raking in over a whopping 14 million views on YouTube at the time of writing.
