Last night was arguably one of Cody Johnson’s biggest career wins as he accomplished one of his ultimate goals of topping the Houston Rodeo’s attendance record. The Texas native’s been vocal in the past on numerous occasions that he’s always dreamt of beating George Strait’s 2019 record of 80,108 fans present at his March show. Sure enough, 7 years later, Johnson has now surpassed the king, thanks to a whopping 80,203 fans in attendance. With the night ushered in by supporting acts Jon Pardi and Randy Houser, the “Dear Rodeo” singer also had a few surprise appearances up his sleeve…

Following the highly anticipated March 20 release of his new album, The Way I Am, Luke Combs officially kicked off his coinciding My Kinda Saturday Night tour yesterday evening. Fittingly kickstarting on a perfect Saturday night, the country superstar brought the party to Las Vegas, Nevada, marking a new record at Allegiant Stadium with a whopping 70,921 fans in attendance. Despite the venue’s typical capped capacity of 65,000, Combs far exceeded expectations, filling nearly every possible space with fans ready to belt out his biggest hits alongside new tracks from his latest 22-song project. Combs opened up the night with…

There are about 15 weeks until July 4 (which is 15 weeks too many in my opinion) so what better way to get into the spirit as early as possible than with a little Toby Keith? There’s no argument that “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” and “Made In America” are obviously the two classic patriotic anthems; however, Keith’s 2003 chart-topping hit “Beer For My Horses” featuring Willie Nelson also belongs in that category. Released as the fourth and final single from his 2002 album, Unleashed, it has since been certified 3x platinum by the RIAA, remaining a fan-favorite…

For anyone who’s been rooting for American Idol’s 25-year-old mother Hannah Harper, adores country music’s sweetheart Ella Langley, or can just appreciate a good cover– this is for you. The currently ‘Top Twenty’ idol contestant posted a clip singing Langley’s chart-topping success, “Choosin’ Texas,” and the crossover is impeccable. Before Harper stole viewers’ hearts with her original song “String Cheese” at her idol audition, she had been posting covers to her social media for quite some time, showing off her singing chops. Now solidifying herself as the Dolly Parton/Lee Ann Womack/Allison Krauss-esque voice of the season, it’s a pretty fun…

Fueling the transition from her sophomore album, Hungover, to her upcoming release, Dandelion, Ella Langley has been extremely transparent that leaning into the Lord has been one of the main driving forces behind this new era. After a heavy year of touring last year and on the rise to stardom, Langley took a mental health hiatus in August 2025. Cancelling all of her show dates, the Alabama native returned home for some R&R to regain her roots and found herself opening up her bible more. This rediscovery of her faith and putting her trust into God has been a major…

Talk about the ultimate party. Last night marked the official celebration in honor of Jason Aldean’s 30+ number-one hits. The “Night Train” singer hit the chart-topping 30 mark this past June 2025 with the song that took over the summer, “Whiskey Drink,” followed by “How Far Does A Goodbye Go” this past February, which tipped him over the edge to an insane 31 number ones. Coinciding with this week’s three-day Country Radio Seminar event, a congratulatory event was thrown in his honor with Aldean and his team in attendance, as well as a slew of special guests throughout the night…
