“Nashville Star” winner Buddy Jewell’s debut single for Columbia Records Nashville, “Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey’s Song),” has become the highest charting debut by a solo artist in 11 years.

Not since Asylum Curb artist Wynonna Judd debuted in 1992 at number 45 with “She is His Only Need” has a debut solo artist charted so high.
