Podcast 41 features music from Eric Church, Josh Turner, Justin Moore and more amazing artists. Also we catch up with Lanco on the first part of our exclusive interview with the band. They have just landed their debut album “Hallelujah Nights” at number one in the Billboard country charts. A feat which hasn’t been done by a band for nearly ten years!
Sam Hunt had some new music up his sleeve when he took to the stage this week at the press launch of Luke Bryan’s ‘What Makes You Country’ tour but he had a last minute change of mind for fear of muddling up his words.
“I was going to try and work up a new song, but I haven’t memorized some of the lyrics yet,” Hunt commented.
First Country band to debut album at No. 1 in nearly 10 years.
Ahead of their first trip to the UK next month for C2C Festival, platinum-selling breakthrough band LANCO claim the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart this week with ‘Hallelujah Nights’, marking the first Country band to open at No. 1 with a debut album since Lady Antebellum in 2008. Featuring their two-week No. 1 hit ‘Greatest Love Story’ and their new single ‘Born To Love You’ the “collection puts an anthemic spin on young love and small-town life” (The Tennessean) and has dominated the top of the iTunes Country chart since its release, including going straight to the #1 spot on the UK & Ireland’s iTunes country charts, with growing support from radio stations and shows across the country.
The Mavericks is a name you might of not heard since their single ‘Dance The Night Away’ was in the UK charts in 1998, spending a respectful 18 weeks in the chart and peaking at No. 4. However, to anyone who has followed them closely, you’ll know they’ve had a very vibrant history featuring many ups and downs, twists and turns and next week, their path leads them to Belfast, to the Limelight. As they prepare to take to the stage on Tuesday 5th February, we take a look back and perhaps take a moment to give the band the recognition they deserve.
It’s the music industries biggest night of the year, a night where all genres are represented, all under one roof, But last night (Jan 28), the Grammys turned out to be the biggest night for one country star, Chris Stapleton.
