Guitar shredder Nita Strauss sent out a Tweet today (January 10) announcing that her song “Dead Inside” hit the number 1 position on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart.
This is certainly a moment to be celebrated by the ALICE COOPER BAND guitarist as a female solo rock artist has never hit the number 1 spot on the chart.
According to Mediabase, Nita’s solo track with DISTURBED singer David Draiman ,”Dead Inside”, knocked off VOLBEAT’s “Shotgun Blues” to take the coveted top spot.
Nita released her debut solo album of instrumental music, “Controlled Chaos”, in 2018 while it’s follow up, “Dead Inside”, which is expected to arrive at some point this year, features music with vocals as well as instrumental cuts.
IT’S OFFICIAL.
I didn’t know this fact until a few weeks ago-
No female solo artist has had a #1 single at rock radio, ever.UNTIL TODAY.
We held strong on the charts all week and DEAD INSIDE is officially the #1 rock song in the country.
I didn’t do it alone… WE DID IT!!! pic.twitter.com/l15cGhtjRn
