Lady A have produced some of the biggest country hits of all time, from chart-topping tracks such as 'American Honey' to their Grammy Award winning 'Need You Now'. With nine studio albums under their belt, it comes as no surprise that the country band have been topping the charts for over 15 years.
Here at Absolute Radio Country, we've decided to take a look at some of the catchiest and biggest songs Lady A have released, dating back to their self-titled debut album back in 2008. Join us, and get that volume turned up, as we take a look at some of Lady A's most successful tracks...
What are Lady A's biggest country songs?
'I Run To You' (2009)
Considered one of their best love ballads to date, 'I Run to You' helped catapult Lady A to an all-new high. This final single from their debut 'Lady Antebellum' album was the group's first Number 1 and was awarded both a Grammy and a CMA award.

'Need You Now' (2010)
Arguably their biggest song to date, 'Need You Now' was not only a huge country hit, but it also crossed into various pop and AC radio charts including the Billboard Hot 100. The single, which was taken from the 'Need You Now' album, won four Grammy awards for the group in 2011 and has been certified 3x Platinum in the UK.

'American Honey' (2010)
'American Honey', the second single from Lady A's 'Need You Now' album went on to top the charts and sell over a million singles upon its release. It was also featured heavily in the 2016 film 'American Honey' starring Shia LeBeouf and Sasha Lane.

'Just A Kiss' (2011)
The double-Platinum 'Just a Kiss' tells the story of two lovers - like many of Lady A's song. It reached Number 1 upon its release in early 2011 and was the lead single from the 'Own the Night' album (2011).

'You Look Good' (2017)
After a brief hiatus, Lady A came back swinging in 2017 with 'You Look Good', the lead single from their 'Heart Break' album. The feel-good single achieved a Grammy nomination and reached Number 3 on the US Country Airplay chart.

'Bartender' (2014)
Upbeat track 'Bartender' was released in May 2014, with the song having been written by the talented trio and Rodney Clawson. Now certified Platinum in the US, the song also reached the Number 1 spot on the Country Airplay chart across the pond, as well as Number 4 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

'Downtown' (2013)
January 2013 saw the release of Lady A's ever-popular track 'Downtown', which was released as the first single from their fifth studio album, 'Golden'. Described as a 'burst of sunshine', it's not surprise that the track climbed to the Number 1 spot on the US Country Airplay chart - after debuting at Number 25, marking their highest chart debut at that point.

'Compass' (2013)
Another 2013 release was Lady A's 'Compass', which was the third single from 'Golden'. Hillary spoke of how the song 'reinvigorated' the band creatively and inspired a new musical direction, telling Billboard: "From the minute we first heard it, we believed in the message and the overall feel of the song. We knew we could put our own little overall spin on it. We had to have the fans hear it – immediately." The song, of course, peaked at Number 1 on the US Country Airplay, as well as Number 6 on the US Hot Country Songs.

'Ocean' (2019)
'Ocean' was released in November 2019 as the titular track to their eighth studio album of the same name - which debuted at Number 2 on the US Top Country Albums chart. The melodic track was a hit with fans, with the music video raking in over a whopping 14 million views on YouTube at the time of writing.
