Thelma & James Search for an ‘Alternate Ending’ on the Billboard Canada Country Airplay Chart

A couple of weeks ahead of the country duo — singers MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge — performing at the inaugural Boots and Hearts West, their new track arrives at No. 45.

Country duo Thelma & James are dreaming up an “Alternate Ending” on the Billboard Canada Airplay charts. Their latest track debuts at No. 45 on this week's Canada Country Airplay chart, dated Aug. 15.

It's a tune that finds a couple pondering how their lives would be different in an alternative universe, one where they aren’t together. Still, “Alternate Ending” flexes a natural chemistry between singers MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge. That’s probably because in real life, Porter — who hails from Alberta — and Etheridge are happily married, hot on the heels of their first tour as a duo.
