Maren’s latest single “The Bones” recently topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart for two consecutive weeks, making it the first solo female back-to-back No. 1 since 2012, her fourth No. 1 single to date and the first solo female Billboard Country No. 1 since her single “GIRL” topped the chart last summer.
Most recently, Maren leads the 2020 ACM Awards nominations this year with five nods including Female Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for GIRL.
