Country singer Ashley Cooke made a significant impact on country airwaves on December 11 with her emotive breakup anthem, “Your Place.” Garnering the attention of 71 first-week stations and ranking as the third most-added, the song, co-written by Cooke, Jordan Minton, and Mark Trussell, stands out as the “feel-good, I don’t need you anthem” (Holler) from her critically acclaimed debut album, “shot in the dark.”
Wrapping up the year on a high note and setting the stage for a promising start to 2024, Cooke was recently announced as iHeartCountry’s On The Verge artist. This prestigious recognition places her among the esteemed company of female superstars such as Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Carly Pearce, who have previously held this coveted honor. The surprise announcement was made by Wilson backstage at the Grand Ole Opry just before Cooke’s Opry NextStage Class of 2023 live performance, which can be watched here.
Reflecting on the success of “your place,” Cooke expresses gratitude for the strong connection the song has forged with fans. She shares, “‘your place’ has been the song I’ve connected with fans over night after night as they sing their hearts out about whatever they are going through. For this song to reach even more people through country radio is a dream come true for me, and I cannot thank every single station enough for your support. iHeart, I am honored beyond words that you’ve chosen me as your On The Verge artist. This vote of confidence has made a year of long days so worth it, and I look forward to working even harder in 2024.”
