Shaboozey has officially broken Morgan Wallen's record for longest-running number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this decade. Shaboozey's single, "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," has now topped the all-genre Hot 100 chart for 17 weeks, breaking the record Morgan set with his song," Last Night."  This new accomplishment comes just days after the 2025 Grammy Awards nominations were announced. Shaboozey has six, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "A Bar Song."

Ella Langley's guitar player Ben Flanders was playing a guitar solo during a show earlier this month when Ella, who was rocking out beside him, missed her step and fell - grabbing his arm as she went down. Fan video of the moment shows them both falling to the stage. Ella got up quickly and tried to continue with the song, but she was laughing too hard. Ben picked his guitar solo back up before he even got up off the floor.

Blake Shelton and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan have partnered up for a new reality singing competition. The Road is set to debut on CBS in Fall 2025. The show is being described as a headliner's journey to discover the next big artist. Singers will join the headliner on tour and compete to win over fans to secure a spot for the next city. They are hoping to show the good and bad of life in a tour bus. It's not clear what the winner will get.

The first round of performers for the 2024 CMA Awards have been announced and it's shaping up to be a really good show. Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson, who are also hosting the show with Peyton Manning, will each perform their own singles. Post Malone is expected to perform "Yours," a song about his daughter. He will also team up with Chris Stapleton for a performance of their duet "California Sober." Thomas Rhett will bring Teddy Swims onstage for a mashup of their songs "Something 'Bout a Woman" and "Lose Control." Dierks Bentley will perform Tom Petty's "American Girl," along with bluegrass stars Sierra Hull, Molly Tuttle and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes. Shaboozey will sing his hit "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" as a medley with his new single "Highway." Ashley McBryde is also scheduled to take to the stage, although her performance is a surprise. The CMA Awards are being held November 20th. They will air on ABC.

Luke Combs had to make a change to his cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car." In the recording, Luke sings, "Still gotta make a decision/Leave tonight or live and die this way." Well, apparently, he had the words wrong. Luke learned of the mistake when Tracy corrected him. "She said, 'So, when you recorded the song, you said 'Still gotta make a decision' instead of 'We gotta make a decision.' And that was the first time that I knew that I recorded the song incorrectly," Luke told the crowd at a recent show. Tracy was "awesome" about his mistake, but Luke says he still feels the embarrassment of getting the words wrong to a song he loves.

 

Carly Pearce was enjoying some downtime in Florida recently when she decided to face one of her childhood fears. During a visit to Walt Disney World, she challenged herself to ride the Tower of Terror. "I'm at Hollywood Studios at Disney World," Carly says in a video posted to social media. "When I was 11, the last time I was here, I was too afraid to ride the Tower of Terror, so we're going to face a fear." The video shows her screaming the entire time the ride is moving. "I hate it," Carly says at the end of the video. At least she did it.

Jelly Roll likes to visit jail facilities while he's on tour to perform for the inmates. He did things a little differently during a recent visit to a jail in Chesterfield, Va. Jelly Roll had some of the inmates perform for him, and he was really impressed. When he was leaving to get ready for his arena show in Charlottesville, Va., he decided to call the sheriff to see if they could arrange to have four men from the facility come to his show to play onstage with him. They were able to make it work, and the men showed up dressed in street clothes and performed with Jelly Roll. The musicians who showed off their talents are members of the Helping Addicts Recover Progressively (HARP) program. Jelly Roll has been involved with the program in the past.
