Takin’ y’all back in time to a young and mullet-less Morgan Wallen, before he was the biggest artist in Country music. During season 6 of The Voice in 2014, Wallen auditioned with the 2003 hit song “Collide” by Howie Day. During a sit-down with Country Countdown USA, Wallen explained that he wanted to sing a country song but they wanted him to sing pop. He explained how his elimination process went as well; “I made the top 20. When I made it there, I got a list of songs to choose from. A Florida Georgia Line song was the only…

What a year for Morgan Wallen. As the year-end numbers and chart rankings pour in for 2023, Morgan was arguably the biggest artist in all of music this year. The 30 year-old superstar finished with the most streamed song, all-genre, on just about every music streaming platform, including on Spotify and Apple Music, with “Last Night.” Even though he was passed on at the CMA Awards last month, Wallen was the most awarded artist at the Billboard Music Awards with 11, beating out Taylor Swift who came in second with 10. The trophies that Morgan took home included Top Male…
Back in October, Chris Stapleton extended his “All American Road Show” tour into 2024 with an additional 23 dates.

Today the 45 year old superstar officially announced an additional three dates. He will be in Tampa, Florida, on May 10th, Arlington, Texas, on June 15th, and Houston, Texas, on August 24th.

Never gets old. Back in April of 2013, Sturgill Simpson performed “You Can Have The Crown” and “Some Days” live at the Sun King Brewery in Indianapolis, Indiana. The two songs, both written solely by Simpson, are featured on his debut album (and my personal favorite to date) “High Top Mountain.” While the album didn’t garner a lot of attention and is still criminally underrated in my opinion, the performance video has racked up over 30 million views on Youtube alone over the last ten years. You Can Have The Crown also has over 51 million streams on Spotify as…
Being fully transparent. Whether you love him or hate him, Morgan Wallen has undoubtedly had a massive year. In fact, describing 2023 as a “massive” year for him might actually be discrediting his impact in the music industry. The 30 year-old singer dominated the charts and continuously broke records with his recent double album, “One Thing At A Time.” Morgan recently took home more trophies than any other artist at the Billboard Music Awards with 11, had the highest grossing country tour of the year, and had the most streamed song, all-genre, in 2023 with “Last Night.” On top of that, Morgan also…
Been sittin’ on this one for a LONG time. Last month Chris Stapleton released his highly anticipated, fifth studio album, “Higher.” It had been three years since the superstar last released a full-length record, and let’s just say, it was well worth the wait. The record features a total of 14 tracks, and Chris is listed as a co-writer on all of them. In an interview with TODAY, Stapleton revealed that he wrote the title track of the new album over two decades ago: “The title track, Higher, is… well what year is it? It’s twenty-two years old, twenty-three years…
