Jelly Roll celebrated his sixth consecutive, and eighth overall, chart-topper at country radio, “I Am Not Okay,” at Nashville’s Riverbend Maximum Security Institution last week with the facility’s inmates and staff alongside his co-writers Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley and Casey Brown as well as producer Zach Crowell, his label team and industry members.

The first-of-its-kind No. 1 party featured a performance by the hitmaker and a surprise appearance by label-mate Lainey Wilson. Jelly Roll treated attendees to tunes, including the Platinum hit, after visiting members of the institution’s braille program, who transform text into braille for students at the Tennessee School For the Blind and printed materials for those visually-impaired.

“I Am Not Okay” served as the lead single for his sophomore country project, Beautifully Broken, and is currently up for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the 67th  Grammy Awards. The tune has ranked as high at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since its release in June. It also held the top slot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart for multiple weeks, and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
