To say that Lady Antebellum has had a great year is a bit of an understatement. The trio surpassed the huge success of their self-titled debut and proved that the phrase "sophomore jinx" just doesn't apply to them. Their second studio release, Need You Now, struck an emotional chord with audiences and is the biggest selling album in all genres for 2010. That's right, all genres. It delivered three consecutive chart-topping singles, including the title track, "Need You Now," which crossed over to pop radio stations and claimed the No. 1 spot on iTunes' all-genre singles chart. That kind of success doesn't go unnoticed. And in fact, the group has given their fair share of acceptance speeches throughout the year, scoring multiple CMA and ACM awards, along with a CMT Music Award and their very first Grammy. So yeah, you could say it's been a great year for Lady A. But we say it's been phenomenal. And with this kind of momentum, you can bet their party will keep going for a while.
