Her song, “Choosin’ Texas”, is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 22nd week as of now. It’s officially the longest-leading non-holiday song in history. As it’s now tied to only Mariah Carey’s“All I Want for Christmas Is You”, which leads with 22 weeks.
After next week that could all change and while basically making country music the most popular music on Billboard.
Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" officially ties Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" as the longest running #1 hit in Hot 100 history.
So, it just has stay on top of that chart for at least one more week to beat the song that’s been ruining Christmas since 1994. In “Choosin’ Texas” I trust.
It’s a beautiful time of year. Heatstroke weather is going away and football season is back.
Carrie Underwood is kicking off her 14th season as the voice of NBC’s “Sunday Night Football”…continuing a role she took over from Faith Hill in 2013.
Over the years, she has put her own spin on the opening theme…and for this year’s season opener, she has a rock-and-roll look and an all-leather outfit. And the song will get you just as pumped as ever.
Country music has been around for a long time and has has definitely come a long way.
Did you know that today is International Country Music Day? I only know this thanks to National Today. Question is. How are you celebrating?
September 17th was chosen because it also marks the birthday of country music legend Hank Williams, whose songs went a long way in shaping our country music genre.
Hank unfortunately passed away on New Year’s Day in 1953 at the age of only 29, in the back seat of a car near Oak Hill, West Virginia, as he was in route to a concert in Canton, Ohio. Despite his relatively brief career, he is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century, especially in country music.
The Grand Ole Opry did him dirty back in the day…and fired him. Of course they’re still riding on his name like their relationship was perfectly fine and not to mention they have had far worse perform on that sacred stage since his passing. I mean times have changed…but a formal apology would nice.
With that being said…maybe it’s a good day to listen to “Hey Good Looking“.
The country music community is coming together to celebrate the life and career of Dolly Parton next month in Nashville. Fans will have a chance to enjoy the live, two-hour-long concert in person or on television too.
The Dolly Parton tribute concert is called “CMA Presents I Will Always Love You: A Celebration of Dolly Parton” and it will air live on ABC from Nashville’s Belmont University on Oct. 21 at 9PM ET.
The announcement on Wednesday (9/16/26) did not name any performers, presenters or special guests but there’s sure to be a long line of singers and celebrities willing to appear if time and schedules allow it. It’s for Dolly.
As of now…we do know that it’s going to be a two-hour television event that promises to celebrate Dolly as an artist, entertainer, humanitarian and entrepreneur.
Tickets will go on sale, but they will be limited to four tickets per purchase. The on sale dates are not known as of yet. Instead, the CMA is allowing fans to sign up for ticket updates when available.
Thank God I’m not doing this…because this is seems silly to me. My eyelashes are also pretty flawless.
Some young men grow a beard to look more masculine. Others start lifting weights or get tattoos. But there’s one thing they’re overlooking. And it’s right in front of their eyes. Literally.
According to the internet, a growing number of young men across the world are following a bizarre beauty trend that has them shaving their eyelashes for a more masculine look. I would personally call this trend retarded, but that’s just me.
They usually don’t cut them all the way off…like some may do with their eyebrows. Instead, they carefully trim them, to make sure they’re FAR from being long, with a cute “feminine” curl.
There are videos on social media of guys getting this done at barber shops and salons…so you can see how ridiculous it looks before you try it. But experts say you should think twice.
Eyelashes are not purely cosmetic…they actually serve an important function. As in they protect your eyes from dirt and debris, like dead skin cells and sweat, and UV rays, so cutting them down to stubs can have “serious health consequences.”
This is further proof that this man is a household name.
Morgan Wallen’s fans should be happy about this news too, because he shared a picture on social media that looks a lot like the artwork from Grand Theft Auto 6. Of course I still remember playing the original GTA in 1997 on the computer in high school. Great memories.
Morgan is not the only music star that posted scenes from GTA 6. There were also posts byTravis Scott, Metro Boomin, and Future.
Just in case you needed another reason to buy the game, now you have one.
Riley Green was recently interviewed about this by Pat McAfee.
Pat made fun of him a little about this as good friends do. Riley Green said he was hesitant to release his hit song “Worst Way” because it was, “a little forward”. Which is a nice, PG-rated way of saying that.
Of course every woman who has watched that video is very thankful he released the music video for it too. Especially considering how it has 54 million views and counting.
I’m sure he’s glad he released it too though, because it went on to become his first solo #1 on country radio…and it also reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
If you listen closely you actually hear FGL fans screaming with excitement in every state. The band just revealed that they’ll be at Stagecoach next year…and now they just announced a new reunion tour and it’s called the “Anything Goes Again: The Festival Tour”.
They broke up in 2022…but then had their first pop-up performance at CMA Fest 2026 earlier this year.
This reunion tour will be their first real set of shows back together. Tyler Hubbardand Brian Kelley said it’s been special seeing their fans reconnect with the music. It seems like a lot of people are excited about them getting back together.
It’s literally like a country music family reunion and I welcome this.
