Karli’s 2nd single, “I Didn’t,” is a TOP 50 HIT! “I Didn’t,” reached it highest position to date on this week’s CountryBreakout Chart at #47! Karli is thrilled with the success of her 2nd single,
“I can’t tell you how excited I am that, “I Didn’t,” has reached #47 on the charts! Having a Top 50 Hit is truly a dream come true, and something I’ve been working towards for many years! I remember the first time I heard hit songwriter, Sherrie Austin perform, “I Didn’t,” at Nashville Songwriters Association, I loved it instantly! And to see the response Country Radio, and Country fans are having when they hear it, means the world to me! I want to thank Country Radio for their incredible support and continued airplay, and of course the fans for making the success of, “I Didn’t,” possible!”
