"It was like, 'What is going on in my little body right now?!'" Chrysta Bell remembers thinking the first time she heard the theme music to David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Little did she know back in the '80s that she would eventually become a major collaborator of Lynch's, both musically (he co-wrote and produced her latest EP Somewhere in the Nowhere) and, as fate would have it, as a cast member in his Twin Peaks reboot for Showtime, due to hit the small screen in 2017.

On her 23rd birthday this past September, Kelsea Ballerini saw her latest single "Peter Pan" go to the top of Billboard's Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts simultaneously, making her the first solo female artist to top both in the same week.
