If our odds are correct, expect a big night for Morgan Wallen. The singer hasn’t won at the CMAs since his New Artist of the Year victory in 2020. He made himself an industry pariah in 2021 after he was caught using a racial slur. His music continued to top the charts, but he was banned from awards shows … for a little while at least.

I wouldn’t say that I’ve exhausted David Bowie’s catalog, but that one is instantly recognizable.”
But Young wasn’t being pitched a remake of Bowie’s 1974 glam-stomper. He was listening to “Young Love & Saturday Nights,...

Lainey Wilson was seemingly everywhere at the Academy of Country Music Awards, collecting four trophies on a night that saw Chris Stapleton win the entertainer of the year honour.
Wilson performed twice Thursday –- back-to-back –- and delivered heartfelt speeches after her wins, which put her next to fellow winners and country music legends.
She won album of the year for Bell Bottom Country accepting the honour slightly breathless after performing her song “Grease”.
Wilson called the album a “labor of love” and said she wrote 300 songs during the pandemic. She said people often tell her how much the album means to their lives, and she said writing them “saved mine.”
"Bell Bottom Country" has been the soundtrack of our year

At the 58th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, the top prize, entertainer of the year, was handed out to Chris Stapleton, even as Lainey Wilson and Hardy came away tied for top honors with four awards each — including shared wins for their duet, “Wait in the Truck.”
Wilson was the night’s top winner, if it came down to number of categories in which she prevailed. The singer won for best female artist, best album, visual media and music event (the last two both for “Wait in the Truck”). Hardy won in three categories — best artist-songwriter, visual media and music event — but the ACMs counted him as winning twice in the music event division, as both an artist and producer on “Wait in the Truck,” upping his count for the night to four.

The race for Single of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards looks like it’s between two songs that just won Grammy Awards and also competed against each other at last year’s Country Music Association Awards: “Never Wanted to Be That Girl” by Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde and “Til You Can’t” by Cody Johnson. That’s according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users. Do you agree that one of those two will come out on top?
As of this writing “Til You Can’t” is actually the front-runner to win Single of the Year. It gets leading odds of 6/1 with support from 16 of the Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s ACM Awards winners and 13 of the All-Star Top 24 who had the best scores when you combine the last two years’ ACM results. “Til You Can’t” won...

WME, which has seen live touring become a key part of its representation business as part of a publicly-traded company, is now acquiring a boutique music agency.
The Endeavor-owned talent giant bought the Nashville-based agency Red 11 Music, which has a focus on concert booking and touring Americana acts, the company said Friday. Red 11’s founder and CEO, Jon Folk, will join WME as a partner and bring along clients like Shooter Jennings, Muscadine Bloodline, Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Boland & The Stragglers and Giovannie & The Hired Guns.
All employees from Red 11 — agent Geoff Turner, coordinators Josh Green, Dan Kuklinski and Jeremy Upton and agent assistant Lindsey Wines — are said to be joining WME’s Nashville office. With the Red 11 deal, the Endeavor company will have 65 agents based in Nashville along with 25 partners.
The deal marks the latest acquisition for WME, which has had a presence in Music City since 1973 during its William Morris Agency days.
