FINALLY. According to Country music chart insider, Chris Owen, Luke Combs has officially sent “Fast Car” to Country radio as next single. Just a little over a month ago, Luke and his label chose to send “Love You Anyway” to Country radio, and “Fast Car” to Pop radio. However, the song has been absolutely KILLING it so it appears they finally caved and gave the people what they wanted. I mean, that’s what Luke is known for doing anyway… Not only has the track racked up millions upon millions of streams, it’s also currently charting at No. 12 on Mediabase…

Takin’ y’all all the way back to 2004. CMT’s Crossroads have given us some pretty amazing collaborations over the years, as well as some pretty bad ones, if we’re being honest. However, this one is for the story books. 18 years ago, one of Country’s biggest stars teamed up with one of the smoothest singer/songwriters in the pop-rock world to duet a handful of each others songs and one of the most notable is their performance of Brad Paisley’s 2003 hit, “Little Moments.” “Little Moments” often gets forgotten when talking about great Country songs, especially in Brad’s hefty catalog.

While walking through the crowd during a recent show at the MVP Arena in New York, a fan reached out and grabbed the neck of Zach Bryan’s guitar, prompting him to immediately kick her out.

Zach recently took to Twitter to address the situation:…

The start of it all. Reigning ACM Artist Of The Decade, Jason Aldean, officially scored the first No. 1 single of his career on this day 17 years ago with “Why.” Produced by Michael Knox, the same producer Aldean still uses today, the song is very different than anything you’ll find from the 46 year-old’s catalog in recent years. Coming off his 2005 self-titled debut album, “Why” was only Jason’s second single at Country radio, following his rockin’ introduction to mainstream radio, “Hicktown.” Written by John Rich, Rodney Clawson and Vicky McGehee, the song is a mid-tempo love song about…

Today is officially the third anniversary of Morgan Wallen’s fourth No. 1 hit on Country radio, “More Than My Hometown.” The song was the lead single off of Morgan’s 2021 release “Dangerous: The Double Album” and was written by Wallen himself, as well as HARDY, Ernest and Ryan Vojtesak.
