Jimmie Allen (1986 - Present)
In 2018, Jimmie Allen became the first African-American to begin his country music career with a single that reached #1 on the country music charts. Allen's song held on to the number one spot for 3 non-consecutive weeks.
In a world that seems content in pitting us all against one another, it's good to know that a person's talent and hard work can still be enough to rise to the top.
