Nelly’s Latest Album ‘Heartland’ Hits the Country Charts

Nelly has countlessly charted the Billboard charts, but this time around, he took a different route. His latest album, ‘Heartland,’ the rapper’s first country album debuted at number 7 on the Top Country Albums chart. Nelly’s EP includes appearances by Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, Blanco Brown, and the legendary Darius Rucker.

Back in January, Nelly stated: “I don’t want people to think that I just woke up one day and wanted to do a country album. I have so much respect for country music, country artists, and everything that they go through. This EP is showing my inspiration for loving and appreciating it. It’s all been about making sure that the timing was right, so to speak. It’s still a Nelly album. Don’t get it twisted, it’s influenced by country music. It’s my appreciation for it and the artists that I listen to and some of the artists that I’ve been able to collaborate with. But again, I think it’s that sound of how country music has influenced Nelly.”
