It seemed like Lana Del Rey had the best chance of her entire career to finally win her first Grammy. She had never been nominated more times at a single ceremony than at the 2024 event, and when Taylor Swift won Album of the Year for “Midnights” she went out of her way to praise Del Rey as legendary artist who has paved the way for musicians who have followed her. Alas, while Swift has now collected 14 trophies over the course of her career, Del Rey is now 0-for-11. Check out the complete list of winners here.
Del Rey received five nominations this year: Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album (“Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd“), Song of the Year and Best Alternative Music Performance (“A&W”) and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (“Candy Necklace” with Jon Batiste).

T-Pain was at a karaoke party last year when an R&b-flavored country ballad starting playing over the system.

Songs from decades past are routinely revived or rediscovered, and that’s currently happening in a big way with “Tennessee Whiskey,” a 44-year-old honky-tonk song about salvation by someone who...

Billboard shared a video of Lee’s reaction to the news.

Can there be any lingering doubt about who truly holds the Queen of Christmas crown? Brenda Lee has returned to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” 65 years after the song’s 1958 recording.
The chart-topper sees the singer once known as Little Miss Dynamite breaking at least several Billboard records, including the longest wait between a song’s release and reaching #1, and the longest span between an artist’s #1 hits. At 78, Lee becomes the oldest person to ever top the chart, a record previously held by Louis Armstrong, who was 62 when “Hello, Dolly” peaked in 1964.
Just 13 when she recorded what would become one of the most beloved and enduring holiday classics, Lee has been celebrating the song’s 65th anniversary with a flurry of activity: Last month she appeared in the song’s first-ever video, featuring cameos by country stars Tanya Tucker and...

The case for Shooter Jennings as one of the premier producers in music grows more compelling by the day, and you’d get no argument from Tanya Tucker.
“He always listens to my heart,” Tucker tells Rolling Stone, offering a simple reason for Jennings’ rise behind the console.
For Jennings, such a sentiment has been more than enough validation for his 2022 decision to step away from his own touring and songwriting career to focus full-time on his studio work.

2023 has been a massive year for country music. Four country songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100 this year, the second most ever after 1958. One of those songs, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” spent 16 weeks atop the chart, tying for the second most weeks at number-one ever and breaking the record for the longest-running solo number-one in Hot 100 history. Other hits that haven’t reached number-one, like Luke Combs’s “Fast Car,” have still been huge hits this year while being unabashedly country. And number-one albums like Zach Bryan’s self-titled and Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” have proved that the appeal of country is not just for songs, but for albums as well. Clearly country music is having a moment with the general public, so there’s a lot to consider about how much it’s impacting the industry and how that might be reflected in the upcoming Grammy nominations.

2023 has been a landmark year for country music, largely thanks to the success of artists like Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Lainey Wilson, and, yes, Morgan Wallen. Such success also comes, perhaps coincidentally, in a year when other typically popular genres like pop and hip-hop have been struggling to push out true smash hits. This country dominance raises the question of whether it will be reflected come Grammy time.
The Grammys have been a bit snobby towards country music in the last few years. The last time a country song was nominated for Record of the Year was in 2013, when Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” got in. That song was submitted in the Grammys’ pop categories though, so if we go by Grammy classification, the last country song to get a Record nomination was actually Lady A’s “Need You Now,” which won in 2011. Since then,...

The Canadian pop punk princess joined Miranda Lambert onstage during her set and the duo performed not one, but two songs together.

We expected Elle King for Miranda Lambert’s #CMAFest set, even figured Leon Bridges would show up (he did).

Country is having quite the renaissance. The genre, which had lagged behind after the streaming era took over, suddenly has found its footing in the new musical landscape. As such, we are getting more Hot 100 hits from country stars, and we are also more aware of newer stars thanks to apps like TikTok. This rebirth of the genre into the popular consciousness will surely play a factor in the upcoming Grammy nominations, which might skew more commercial this time around after years of digging into the indie-country scene, probably due to a perceived lack of quality from the bro-country songs that ruled the charts almost a decade ago.
Morgan Wallen is inarguably the biggest contender of the season, with his hit album “One Thing At A Time.” Wallen’s success is somewhat unprecedented for a country musician this century, topping both the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100 for multiple weeks. Of course,...

Brandi Carlile has shared her contribution to the Season 3 soundtrack of Ted Lasso. Out now, it’s a rendition of “Home,” made famous by Diana Ross in the 1978 film The Wiz.
Carlile’s version of “Home” appears in the penultimate episode of Season 3 of Ted Lasso, and like Dorothy in The Wiz, Ted is a far way from home. Nobody can quite match Ross’ level of soul in the original performance of the song, but Carlile adds a nice twist by swapping out its sweeping orchestral arrangements for a folksier piano.
Carlile also produced the track herself at ShangriLa Studios, with a backing band composed of Matt Chamberlain on drums, Sebastian Steinberg on bass, Dave Palmer on piano and organ, and Chauntee and Monique Ross on strings (no relation). Listen to the cover of “Home” below.
