Jelly Roll Scores First No. 1 Album on the Billboard 200 Chart with Beautifully Broken
Jelly Roll released his newest album, Beautifully Broken, on October 11. Since then he’s scored his first No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. He made the leap to the U.K. charts as well, becoming an international success and firmly cementing his chart takeover.
Recently, Jelly further proved that he’s grateful for every opportunity after so many years of struggle. While in Little Rock, Arkansas for the kick off of his tour, he shared a sweet story from his early career.
When I first started coming to Little Rock, Arkansas I played a place called Stickyz Chicken Shack,” he told fans. “It had 200 people, I sold it out, I was so proud. Next time I came I played a place called the Rev Room, right here behind me. Right next to it is a place called Gus’s Chicken, we ate Gus’s Chicken every time we played the Rev Room, I played that place 10 times.”
He added, “If you come to Gus’s Chicken in Little Rock, Arkansas today the food is on me, baby, come get you a meal. This one’s on me to honor our sold out show at Simmons Bank Arena. To all y’all artists playing Stickyz and playing the Rev Room… Keep playing baby, keep playing baby!”
Jelly Roll paid an $11,000 tab for the restaurant, and even left a hefty tip. Jelly is truly on a roll, and there’s no stopping him now.
