Rackin’ em up. As of November 15th, Zach Bryan earned two new gold certifications from the RIAA for his latest self-titled album, along with his single, “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves off the same record. In case you weren’t aware, when an artist receives a gold certification, it means the single or album has sold at least 500,000 units since its release A unit defines the consumption of music that equals the purchase of one album copy.

In what became Megan Moroney’s first ever platinum single, is now also her first song to reach double platinum status by the RIAA. Written by Moroney, along with Ben Williams, David Fanning and Paul Jenkins, Tennessee Orange was first released on September 2nd of last year, right before the Volunteers defeated Georgia Tech, 42-41 in overtime. Tennessee Orange quickly blew up on Tik-Tok, and after much speculation, Megan did an interview with SiriusXM’s “The Highway,” where she confirmed that the Vols shirt she was wearing in her Instagram announcement post for the song was, in fact, Morgan Wallen’s shirt.

One of my favorite Drayton Farley songs. After a three-night run out on the east coast together for the Acoustic Nights Tour earlier this year, Drayton Farley and Sam Barber have once again teamed up to bless our news feeds (and ears) with an incredible performance of Drayton’s 2021 release, “Chewing on Fire.” Drayton is one of the most talented songwriters, not just in the independent/americana scene, but in my opinion, in all of music. While still extremely underrated, 2023 has been a breakout year for the Alabama native. Releasing two projects, including his most recent 5-track EP, Kudzu Wild,…
Ahh, here we go again. We’ve seen a massive increase of internet trolling and sh*t talking from infamous keyboard warriors over the last few years, especially with country music fans. It seems that no matter what most artists do, there’s always a handful of social media users ready to find something to b*tch about and/or post “that’s not real country” in the comments sections. If you aren’t thick-skinned or ready to ignore the “haters,” its something that could drive artists and journalists everywhere crazy. To be fair, country fans have had to endure some pretty shi**y years of pop music…
