Katie Armiger's self-titled debut album was released on Cold River Records in the U.S. on August 21, 2007. It was produced by Mark Oliverius, the producer for other country acts such as
Lorrie Morgan and
Trick Pony. The first seven tracks of her album were co-written by Armiger with Oliverius and
Ashlee Hewitt. Armiger entered the
Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the first time in 2010 with "Kiss Me Now," which reached a peak of number 55. It served as the lead-off to her third album,
Confessions of a Nice Girl, which was released in October 2010, and became her first album to chart. It charted on both
Billboard Top Country Albums and Billboard Heatseekers. This album was Armiger's first self-titled album and featured nine tracks that Armiger co-wrote with Nashville songwriters. "Leaving Home" and "Best Song Ever" followed as the album's second and third singles, the former failed to chart, while the latter peaked at number 42. Her third album was re-released on September 20, 2011 to include her fourth single, "I Do But Do I", which was released to radio on July 11, 2011. The re-release also included three more new songs, a dance mix of "Best Song Ever", and the music videos for "I Do But Do I" and "Best Song Ever." Since then, the song has become her highest charting single. The album that followed on January 22, 2013,
Fall Into Me, became her highest charting album to date. It marked Armiger's first entry on the
Independent Albums chart (No. 6) and the all-genre
Billboard 200 (No. 32). It also became her first top 10 country album, debuting at number 7. The album's second single, "Playin' with Fire", was released February 11, 2013. Katie Armiger left the music business in 2015. She later said she had been blacklisted after complaining about sexual harassment by radio programmers. Lawsuits between Armiger and Cold River Records and its founder Peter Timothy O'Heeron were settled in 2019. Terms of the settlement are confidential. ==Discography==
