Post Malone kickstarts his country era with new single “I Had Some Help.” He debuted the song, which features Morgan Wallen, live at Stagecoach last month.
Post Malone and Wallen’s inevitable summer hit is a big country-pop tune, in the vein of many of Wallen’s own singles. The song is about a relationship falling apart and knowing that it wasn’t just one person’s fault. “It ain’t like I can make this kinda mess all by myself,” they sing on the chorus. “Don’t act like...

The Academy of Country Music Awards show set for May 16 is getting some additional octane in its performance lineup with the addition of two of the biggest artists of the moment from outside the country genre, Post Malone and Noah Kahan.
Malone looks set for a solo moment on the ACM Awards show, while Kahan will join female artist of the year nominee Kelsea Ballerini for a duet.
Even without a new album out, Malone has been ubiquitous lately, in pop and even country. He has appeared as a featured performer in the last three months with arguably the three biggest acts in the music business right now: Beyonce (on her country-driven album “Cowboy Carter”), Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen (on the just-released joint single “I Had Some Help”). He also did one of the most watched sets at Stagecoach, doing a performance of classic country covers. Although it’s...

Just like Florida Georgia Line itself, the bro-country duo’s Nashville bar is kaput. Fgl House, which first opened its doors in June 2017 with a ribbon cutting by members Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, has closed and will be replaced by a new Lainey Wilson venture.
The shuttering of Fgl House marks the first country-star branded bar of the modern era to close in Nashville. Tc Restaurant Group, which operates bars by the likes of Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, and, formerly, Florida Georgia Line, will partner with Wilson to create Bell Bottoms Up.

Taylor Swift‘s record-breaking debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with “The Tortured Poets Department” has unsurprisingly been followed by a second week on top.

It achieved 439,000 equivalent album units for the tracking week that ended May 2 based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams.

Morgan Wallen’s recent felony incident in a Nashville bar may have added to his image as a country music bad boy, but, there are also potential legal consequences to contend with. Based on the most recent updates, a new hearing date was set. So, what do we know so far about how things are progressing?
Morgan Wallen Arrested Back In April
Morgan Wallen was arrested back in April for allegedly throwing a chair from a six-story rooftop Nashville bar. The chair allegedly landed close to two police officers down below.

Entertainer of the Year is the biggest prize at the Academy of Country Music Awards, honoring an artist’s incredible year across all metrics, like touring, streaming and radio. While there is no specific formula on how to predict the winner, it’s often someone who dominated the country sphere in more ways than one, and who solidified themselves as the face of country music. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the seven-person race for this year’s award.
If we are going by process of elimination, perhaps the first person out is Kane Brown. He is one of country music’s most popular artists of the past 10 years, undoubtedly so. However, 2023 wasn’t necessarily a standout year for him, evidenced by the fact that he is only nominated in this category. Plus, Brown is surely going to be back in a stronger year, perhaps with...

Universal Music Group chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge has applauded a new music licensing deal with TikTok which ends a recent months-long standoff over royalties to be paid out around the social media platform.
“It’s another significant step we’ve taken to guide the industry’s evolution to a future where human artistry must be respected,” Grainge told an analyst call after the release of his company’s first quarter financial results. He argued the resolution of the TikTok dispute had impacts beyond a single social media platform.
“The income from social media is increasingly important income to artists, songwriters, labels and publishers, which is why we’ve pushed so hard and we will continue to push hard to protect and to develop it,” Grainge warned.
“Ultimately, the point of engaging in such conflicts is to find a higher common ground from which new and greater progress can be made.

It has only been three weeks since their first collaborative album hit number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, but Metro Boomin and Future are at it again. “We Don’t Trust You” debuted on top of the chart dated April 6, and now their follow-up “We Still Don’t Trust You” has done the same on the chart dated April 27. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
“We Still Don’t Trust You” achieved 127,500 equivalent album units based on its combined traditional album sales, individual track sales and online streams, with streaming making up the vast majority of the collection’s activity. That total number of units is about half what Metro and Future achieved with “We Don’t Trust You,” which launched with 251,000. But it was enough to knock Beyonce‘s “Cowboy Carter” to second place with 98,000 units. “We Don’t Trust You” rose one spot...

At the beginning of April, country musician Morgan Wallen was arrested in Nashville, Tennesee, for launching a chair from the six-story roof of Chief’s Bar. At 11 p.m. on a Sunday, two Nashville police officers saw the chair fall to the ground from the top of the building. Wallen was arrested for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
Following his arrest, Wallen’s attorney, Worrick Robinson, said Wallen was “cooperating fully with authorities.”
Wallen has now spoken out about his actions that night. On Friday, the country artist posted to X, “I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”
“I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe.

Like him or not, Morgan Wallen is one of the biggest music artists in the world at the moment, in any genre.

Morgan Wallen made headlines for all the wrong reasons following a drunken rage. During the alcohol-fueled outburst, the singer threw a chair at police, leading to his arrest. So, what led the typically cool and composed celeb to come unhinged the way he did?
Morgan Wallen Arrested After Alcohol-Fueled Violent Act
When Morgan Wallen is in the headlines, it’s typically to announce new music, a new tour, or a new brand partnership. Recently, however, the Wasted on You singer was indeed wasted at a Nashville bar, and it wasn’t a good look for him.
At one point as Wallen continued to get plastered with more alcohol, he threw a chair from the rooftop where he was drinking. Making matters worse, he threw the chair at police down below, leading to his eventual arrest over the incident.
This entire scenario sounds like the subject of a Morgan Wallen music video.

On April 8, country star Morgan Wallen landed himself on the wrong side of the law, a position that is not unfamiliar to the artist. Wallen first gained attention when he appeared on The Voice in 2014. While the early years of his career were relatively scandal-free, Wallen has been enmired in various controversies since 2020. Here’s a rundown of some of his biggest scandals and legal troubles.
Morgan Wallen faced legal problems after being kicked out of Kid Rock’s Nashville bar
On May 23, 2020, staff at Kid Rock’s Big A** Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse kicked Wallen out for “kicking glass items” (per The Tennessean). Upon leaving the restaurant, Wallen got into arguments with passersby as police officers watched. Officers said they gave Wallen several chances to walk away with his friends, but he refused. Eventually, they arrested him for being a “a danger to himself and the public.

Luke Combs is the man of the hour. The 59th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, April 9, and Combs came out on top with eight bids, including Entertainer of the Year. Check out the complete list of nominations here.
This is Combs’s fifth nomination in a row for Entertainer of the Year, an award he has yet to win. This year he’s up against Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and lone female nominee Lainey Wilson. Women are consistently underrepresented in Entertainer of the Year, though Carrie Underwood won in 2020 (in a tie with Thomas Rhett) and Miranda Lambert finally prevailed in 2022. But we mustn’t underestimate Wilson here. She pulled off a huge upset at the CMA Awards last fall, claiming Entertainer of the Year despite being relatively new on the scene.

“Fast Car” continues to drive Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman to the top — this time, at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Combs is the top contender this year with eight nominations, competing for entertainer of the year as well as single and song of the year with “Fast Car.” He shares the latter nomination with Chapman, who wrote the song alone and had major success with it in 1988, 35 years before Combs brought new life to the track and made it a country hit.
Chapman won in the same category at last year’s Country Music Association Awards, becoming the first Black person to do so. She and Combs earned praise for teaming up for a live performance of the song at February’s Grammy Awards, where Combs was nominated for his version of the song; Chapman won two Grammys for her original version.

Unsurprisingly, Beyonce‘s new album “Cowboy Carter” debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. But it was impressive even by her own standards. It launched with 407,000 equivalent album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
This is the eighth number-one album for Beyonce following “Dangerously in Love” (2003), “B’Day” (2006), “I Am … Sasha Fierce” (2008), “4” (2011), “Beyonce” (2013), “Lemonade” (2016) and “Renaissance” (2022). She ranks fourth among women for the most chart-toppers ever. This was also the best streaming week of her career with 232,000 units coming from on-demand online listens (which comes out to 300.41 million streams), no doubt helped by the fact that this was Beyonce’s longest album with 27 tracks.

That dropped Future and Metro Boomin‘s “We Don’t Trust You” to number-two with a still-impressive 131,000 units.
