Jessica Simpson may be most known for her career as a pop singer, but the Texas
native swears she’s a country girl at heart. And the chart performance of her
latest single backs up the claim.

“Come On Over,” which was released to country radio last week and debuted at no.
41 on Billboard’s country singles charts, makes Simpson the highest charting
debut solo artist in the history of Billboard’s country singles chart.

The previous record belonged to Miranda Lambert and Brad Cotter who both debuted
at No. 42.

“I got chills and butterflies in my stomach,” said Simpson of hearing her song
on country radio for the first time. “It felt like the first time I heard myself
on the radio when I was 19. Country is where my heart is. It’s refreshing to
share something that feels so close to home. I am so honored to become a part of
the country community.”

Simpson’s album, which is yet to be titled, will be released in the fall. The
singer is currently in Nashville to participate in her first CMA Music Festival.
At this time, it is unclear where or on which days she will show up. Fans should
‘come on over’ to the festival to find out.
