Craig Wayne Boyd, who recently won season seven of "The Voice" with a song titled "My Baby's Got A Smile On Her Face," definitely has a smile on his face. His infectious song debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Song list.
With the power of "My Baby's Got A Smile On Her Face," Boyd topped Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood and Eric Church. McGraw's "Shotgun Rider" is at No. 2, followed by Underwood's "Something In The Water" at No. 3 and Church's "Talladega" at No. 4.
This makes Boyd the second artist ever to have a song debut at No. 1 since the Hot Country Songs list started in 1958. The first person to achieve such a feat was Garth Brooks when his single "More Than A Memory" topped the chart on Sept. 15, 2007.
Having signed with Dot Records, Boyd told The Tennessean that he hopes for a successful career and wants to "bring to light songs again that have stories with meanings behind them."
Boyd also told the publication that all the ups and downs he has had in the last 11 years prepared him for being able to deal with the ups and downs on "The Voice."
"It kept me from losing my focus because in my mind, it was yet another obstacle," Boyd said.
