On Hot Country morning with Jody & Melody on your Country Catch Up we shared with you that Morgan Wallen just landed yet another #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with his single “I Got Better”.
Here’s the fun part: he dethroned himself in the process. His song “What I Want”, with Tate McRae, had the #1 spot for 20 straight weeks. But not anymore.
This new single marks Morgan’s 12th career #1 on Hot Country Songs since he first topped the chart in 2019.
The next best during that time period is Luke Combs, who is in second place with four #1s.
On to Megan Moroney who just announced her new single “Beautiful Things” will get released on October 24th.
Megan recently did a special fan event at a coffee shop in Nashville and performed an acoustic version of the new song. Guests at the event received custom coffee sleeves with blank spaces to write notes of encouragement.
It’s still unclear whether “Beautiful Things” and her earlier single “6 Months Later” mean that a new album is on the way, but her fans are crossing their fingers.
When George Strait hints at something, the country world listens. He just posted the flyer from his 1999 George Strait Chevy Truck Music Festival, along with the caption, “Here’s a clue! Let us know your guess in the comments.”
That one line was enough to send fans into a tizzy and now everyone’s convinced that this means he’s planning a massive comeback.
One fan wrote, “I still have my original brochure from that show. Best concert of my life. Please bring it back” and another joked, “I would sell a kidney if it means seeing George and Tim on the same stage again.”
If the rumors are true, this would be a revival of one of the biggest tours in the history of country music!!
The George Strait Country Music Festival took place three times from 1998 to 2000 and was the first to prove that country music could fill football stadiums all over the U.S.
Now, 25 years later, fans are hoping that George will bring it back once more. And maybe Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney will join him again?
Sounds AWESOME George but how about you line up some Canadian stops too, PLEASE?! Hopefully we’ll know more soon.
