     RECOGNIZING THE FIRST ALL-FEMALE NO. 1 SINGLE IN COUNTRY MUSIC

 Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. President, in Music City, we have a 
saying: ``It all begins with a song.'' It is our universal truth and 
the foundation of hundreds of iconic moments in country music. This 
year, we have the privilege of celebrating the breakthrough of one of 
Nashville's most promising young artists. Her moment appropriately 
began with a very special song and a very special group of songwriters.
  It is my pleasure to recognize for the Congressional Record the first 
song in country music written, performed, and produced by an all-female 
team to hit the No. 1 spot on the charts.
  Congratulations to songwriter and performer Tenille Arts, songwriter 
Allison Cruz, and songwriter and producer Alex Kline on the historic 
success of ``Somebody Like That.'' On behalf of the entire Tennessee 
congressional delegation, I thank you for your stunning contribution to 
the beautifully female future of country music.
