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...

The 58th Academy of Country Music Awards announced their nominations on Thursday, April 13, in advance of the awards that will take place on Thursday, May 11. Hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, the event will stream live exclusively on Amazon Prime Video at 8:00pm Eastern/5:00pm Pacific from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Scroll down for the complete list of contenders.
A couple of relative newcomers lead this year’s lineup. Hardy is the top contender with seven nominations: Song of the Year, Song of the Year again (as songwriter for “Sand in My Boots”), Visual Media of the Year (“Wait in the Truck”), Artist-Songwriter of the Year, and Music Event of the Year (as artist and producer for “Wait in the Truck”). Perhaps surprisingly given that impressive haul, Hardy missed the cut for Male Artist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year.

A couple of members of a fresh generation of country music — Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson — came away as the top victors at Sunday night’s CMT Music Awards, broadcast live from Austin for the first time. But the biggest winners may have been CMT and CBS, putting the three-hour telecast on the map as a show packed with enough performance firepower that there is merit to it having transitioned from a cable platform to major broadcast network of last year.
However much the official winners may delight a core country crowd happy to see young radio and streaming favorites get rewarded, the big draw for the CBS audience was likely a series of collaborations between country stars and their pop or rock counterparts, as has been the custom for years on the rival CMA Awards. Most notable were the all-female collabs that had Carly Pearce dueting with Gwen Stefani...

When Kane Brown got the call that CBS wanted to use his song “Riot” to promote the breakthrough TV series Fire Country, the multi-platinum artist who had dreams of acting before singing had a proposal: Use my song but put me in the show.
And they agreed.
Now, the 29-year-old is making his acting debut on the April 7 episode of the series, which launched last year and has already been renewed for a second season.
“They wrote a script specifically for me to jump on the show,” Brown tells The Hollywood Reporter of his character Robin, a mysterious train hopper who helps injured patients on the scene of a crash. “Acting’s something I’ve always wanted to do, so it was cool to be a part of [this] for my first time, especially the character.
