Corey Kent Claims His First Country Airplay No. 1 With ‘This Heart’: ‘What a Ride!’


Corey Kent's "This Heart' becomes his first Country Airplay chart No. 1.

The single by the 31-year-old from Bixby, Okla., ascends two spots to the top of the survey dated July 5 with 27.9 million audience impressions, up 16%, June 20-26, according to Luminate. “This Heart” was co-authored by Thomas Archer, Blake Bollinger, Jacob Hackworth and Michael Tyler, and Chris Farren produced it. Billed as Corey Kent White (his full name), he competed on NBC’s The Voice in 2015, on coach Blake Shelton’s team, and charted three covers on Hot Country Songs over his run on the competition, reaching the top 40 with his take on Bad English’s Diane Warren-penned “When I See You Smile.”
