Morgan Wallen led the charge with seven nods including Entertainer of the Year while other major artists such as Jelly Roll and Cody Johnson received five respectively.

There’s no doubt that John Michael Montgomery’s “Love The Way You Love Me” is a staple of ’90s country. The tender ballad became his first career chart-topper before winning Song of the Year at the 29th ACM Awards. 31 years after its release, none other than Montgomery’s son, Walker, released a cover of his father’s classic, and it’s a damn good one. Walker, who has been releasing music since 2018, has found success on his own with tracks such as “She Don’t Know,” “Bad Day To Be A Beer” and “Out of Nowhere” reaching over a million streams a piece…
The cover I never knew I needed. Adele’s “Someone Like You” hardly needs an introduction. Arguably one of the greatest pop ballads of all time, the song has been certified everywhere from platinum to diamond in well over a dozen countries. Winning Best Pop Solo Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards, “Someone Like You” has solidified itself as one of the most iconic releases of the century so far. Being covered by everyone from David Nail to metal band, Ice Nine Kills, the Grammy-winning track has had a plethora of different interpretations since its release in 2011. Today, Lukas Nelson,…
There’s no doubt that Ella Langley and Riley Green’s viral hit, “you look like you love me” is one of the biggest country songs of the year. Racking up over 75 million streams on Spotify alone and well over 112 million streams across all platforms, the track has been nothing short of a career-starter for Langley. Though the track and its success seemed like a no-brainer due to its infectious chorus and chemistry between Langley and Green, it was actually never supposed to be released. Appearing on The Bobby Bones Show earlier in the week, the duo was asked about the song’s creation and eventual massive success.…
Here comes the BeyHive… This morning, the nominees for the 58th annual Country Music Association (CMA) Awards were revealed with Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson leading the way with Wallen earning seven and Stapleton and Johnson receiving five each. While many fans of the aforementioned artists were ecstatic to see their favorite artists earn nominations at one of the longest-running country awards shows around today, there was one particular group of people that weren’t happy: Beyoncé’s extremely passionate fanbase, aptly titled the BeyHive. Her fans were outraged due to the fact that Beyoncé was not nominated for any…
After imfamously going empty-handed earlier this year at the 59th annual Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards after leading the way six nominations, Morgan Wallen will have the opportunity to bring home some hardware this fall, leading in the newly-revealed Country Music Association (CMA) Awards nominations. This morning, the entire CMA Award nominations were revealed, and Wallen received the most nominations with seven separate entries including Entertainer, Single and Song of the Year. Though it should come as no surprise given that the “Last Night” singer has seemingly broken records every other week over the past year, scoring his second…
