AceShowbiz - Following in the footsteps of Ckay was Dallas-born, Nashville-based singer Gayle. The 17-year-old musician hit No. 1 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart earlier this month thanks to her hit single, "abcdefu", which also sparked a new craze on TikTok.
Dropped in August, the angst-filled track reached its first million streams only one month after its release. The song, which seemingly was aimed at Gayle's "worst" ex, also hit No. 1 on all-genre U.S. iTunes sales as well as Billboard Alternative Streaming Songs and Alternative Digital Song Sales. Additionally, it reached No. 2 on both U.K. Singles and Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts.
