Angie Miller's first album "Weathered" surged to No. 1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" list this week.
Angie Miller’s first album debuted this week at No. 1 on Billboard’s ranking of Heatseekers - the term used to describe top-selling albums by new or developing acts that have never appeared on the Billboard 100.
The 2012 Beverly High School graduate was a top 3 finalist on American Idol last year. She was welcomed home with a parade and free concert as part of being an “Idol” finalist.
“Weathered” is a six-song album she released independently on Nov. 12. Instead of signing with a major record label, Miller partnered with PledgeMusic to fund the project and “stay true to her artistic vision and bring her fans along for the ride.
