It looks like it's time for Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts to make some room. Lady Antebellum are the latest country act endearing themselves to pop audiences. With a boost from winning Single of the Year and Vocal Group honors at last week's Country Music Association Awards, Lady Antebellum's single "Need You Now" has surged into the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 after lingering for a few weeks just inside the top 30. The song has a slightly dark tone in its musing on regret and yearning in love relationships. The album Need You Now will be in stores early in 2010. Lady Antebellum have made a major splash among country audiences taking these key awards with music from their very first album. It is yet to be seen if pop radio will fully embrace the song "Need You Now," but it is clear Lady Antebellum are on the radar of many mainstream pop fans. The song and group could be the first major country crossover of the upcoming new decade.
