Male solo artists dominate, though three female solo artists and two groups have also achieved the feat. Top Country Albums Designed by Lyanne Natividad Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time logs its 68th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (dated Jan. 11), which ups Wallen’s career tally of weeks at No. 1 to 167 – a total topped by only one artist in the chart’s more than 60-year history. You can probably guess who it is, but we’re going to make you scroll through the list to find out for sure. Wallen’s achievement is especially impressive because he has amassed this hefty total of weeks at No. 1 in such a short amount of time. He first topped the chart on Aug. 15, 2020. Top Country Albums originated as Hot Country Albums in the Jan. 11, 1964 issue of Billboard. Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire (The Best of Johnny Cash) headed the inaugural chart. The compilation was well-timed: “Ring of Fire” had headed Hot Country Songs for seven weeks the previous summer and had crossed over to reach the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. The chart was named Hot Country LP’s from 1968 to 1984, when vinyl LPs were king. Twenty-one artists have logged 50 or more weeks at No. 1 on Top Country Albums. Male solo artists dominate, as you might expect, though three female solo artists have achieved the feat, as have two groups. (One of those groups is an all-female group.) Only one Black artist has amassed 50 or more weeks at No. 1, though that may change as country becomes more inclusive. Here’s a look at all artists who have topped Top Country Albums for 50 or more weeks. Kenny Chesney (50 weeks) Image Credit: J.Sciulli/WireImage for CMT: Country Music Television/Getty Images First week at No. 1: Oct. 14, 2000 Most recent week at No. 1: May 16, 2020 Longest-running No. 1: When the Sun Goes Down (14 weeks in 2004) Notes: Chesney’s tally of No. 1 albums includes two live albums, LIVE: Live Those Songs Again (2006) and Live in No Shoes Nation (2017). LeAnn Rimes (50 weeks) First week at No. 1: July 27, 1996 Most recent week at No. 1: Feb. 17, 2001 Longest-running No. 1: Blue (28 weeks in 1996-97) Notes: Rimes’ total includes a 1997 compilation of early recordings, Unchained Melody: The Early Years. Rimes was just 14 in February 1997 when she won a Grammy for best new artist. She remains the youngest winner ever in that category. Eddy Arnold (51 weeks) First week at No. 1: Aug. 14, 1965 Most recent week at No. 1: May 4, 1968 Longest-running No. 1: My World (17 weeks in 1965-66) Notes: My World was the first country album to receive a Grammy nod for album of the year. The album included the crossover hit “Make the World Go Away,” which all but defined the “countrypolitan” sound. Glen Campbell (51 weeks) First week at No. 1: Feb. 10, 1968 Most recent week at No. 1: May 7, 1977 Longest-running No. 1: Wichita Lineman (20 weeks in 1968-69) Notes: Wichita Lineman is tied with Johnny Cash at San Quentin for the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 1960s. Campbell’s tally of No. 1 albums also includes Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell, a collab with the singer of “Ode to Billie Joe.” The 1968 album was the first collaborative album to reach No. 1 on the chart. Merle Haggard (51 weeks) First week at No. 1: Dec. 10, 1966 Most recent week at No. 1: June 20, 2015 Longest-running No. 1: Pancho & Lefty (with Willie Nelson) (eight weeks in 1983) Notes: Haggard’s tally of No. 1s includes eight albums on which his backing group, The Strangers, was also credited. Hag’s tally includes three live albums, Okie From Muskogee (1970), The Fightin’ Side of Me (1970)and I Love Dixie Blues … So I Recorded ‘Live’ in New Orleans (1973). It also includes two collabs with Willie Nelson, Pancho & Lefty and Django and Jimmie (2015). Johnny Cash (57 weeks) Image Credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images First week at No. 1: Jan. 11, 1964 Most recent week at No. 1: April 12, 2014 Longest-running No. 1: Johnny Cash at San Quentin (20 weeks in 1969) Notes: Cash’s No. 1 albums spanned more than 50 years. Johnny Cash at San Quentin (which received a Grammy nod for album of the year) has had the longest run at No. 1 of any live album. It is also tied with Glen Campbell’s Wichita Lineman as the longest-running No. 1 album of the 1960s. Cash also reached No. 1 with two other live albums – Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (1968) and The Johnny Cash Show (1970), which was recorded at the Grand Ole Opry. He also topped the chart with a 1985 collab LP with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson and with two posthumous albums – American V: A Hundred Highways (2006) and Out Among the Stars (2014). Buck Owens (60 weeks) First week at No. 1: Jan. 25, 1964 Most recent week at No. 1: April 20, 1968 Longest-running No. 1: I’ve Got a Tiger by the Tail (15 weeks in 1965) Notes: Owens’ first No. 1 album, Buck Owens Sings Tommy Collins (1964), was a tribute album to the singer/songwriter whose biggest hits included “You Better Not Do That” and “If You Can’t Bite, Don’t Growl.” Owens’ tally of No. 1 albums includes two live albums, Carnegie Hall Concert (1966) and Buck Owens and His Buckaroos in Japan! (1967). George Strait (61 weeks) First week at No. 1: Feb. 18, 1984 Most recent week at No. 1: April 13, 2019 Longest-running No. 1s: Ocean Front Property (six weeks in 1987) and Carrying Your Love With Me (six weeks in 1997) Notes: Strait made this list the hard way – without a single album that logged more than six weeks at No. 1. Strait’s tally of No. 1 albums includes the 1992

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO are celebrated the new year by adding three new members to their extended family. In a video posted on Sunday (Jan. 5), the “Son of a Sinner” singer’s wife revealed that the couple’s farm is filling out thanks to the adoption of three mini-cows. In the cute clip, podcaster Bunnie introduced followers to “da boysss.” The adorable trio, Brownie, S’mores and Crunch, are center stage in the accompanying clip, in which Bunnie re-enacts an iconic scene from Bridesmaids alongside the caption, “when you went for one mini-cow, but cam home with three.” “How many of those did you take?” her friend lip synchs, as Bunnie — dressed down for farm work in a black hoodie, and “sobriety sucks” Jelly Roll baseball cap — mouths “I took nine… I did, uh, slightly overcommit,” while opening the gate to a stock trailer to reveal the white, black and brown cows. In another video, Bunnie gets the whole gang hyped for the reveal, with Jelly excitedly asking, “Hey, where are the cows?” as she says, “let’s go see the new additions.” In the next scene, she’s saying, “the cows are here! The cows are here!” Followers then get a closer look at the three horned, with Jelly’s kids, 16-year-old daughter Bailee and eight-year-old son Noah getting geeked about their new pets. Noah was especially psyched when asked why Crunch is his instant favorite. “I just feel that he is gonna be a great bull for me,” he says. “He’s small, he has the same hair and he’s probably nice.” Later, Jelly rolls out to the pen on the couple’s 500-acre Nashville farm while cooing, “Ooooh! We got cows!” as he gets up close and personal with Crunch and croons a few lines from Secondhand Serenade’s “Fall For You” to his new furry pals. So he doesn’t feel left out, in another video Jelly Roll gets how own special friend, a strutting donkey named Griz. “He’s a stubborn f–ker,” Jelly jokes about his obstinate new pal. “I like the donkey,” he admits a few seconds later as he smiles at the sight of the little guy in his new enclosure. “I can’t believe he’s that small,” Jelly marvels. Jelly Roll is gearing up to hit the road this year for the continuation of his Beautifully Broken tour in Canada, which will resume on March 6 with a show at the Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia; he will also play the Tortuga Music Festival in Florida and Stagecoach in Indio, CA before hitting the road with Post Malone for their BIG ASS Stadium tour this summer.

Fifteen years after the release of her debut album, Animal, Kesha is feeling nostalgic. In an Instagram post on Sunday (Jan. 5), the singer looked back on the making of the 2010 LP that made her a star and featured such beloved tracks as “Your Love Is My Drug,” “Tik Tok,” “Blah Blah Blah” and “Party at a Rich Dude’s House.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “I spent my whole life learning the art of songwriting from my mom, an iconic songwriter herself, so when Animal came out, it was a culmination of the sounds of growing up, the sounds of falling in love, heartbreak, the sounds of coming of age, and I had no idea what these songs would open up for me and what kind of life I would be creating for myself just by putting these songs out in the world,” Kesha wrote, giving props to her mom, Pebe Sebert, a Nashville songwriter known for co-writing the 1980 Dolly Parton track “Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You.” “I’m so happy I did, and so happy you’ve connected to it the way that you have, and continue to do so,” she added, noting that the album’s debut hit, “Tik Tok,” had its biggest streaming day ever on Spotify last week following her set on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. “Just goes to show that we all go through these same pivotal feelings and emotions growing up. I’m so happy to have grown up with all of you. Happy anniversary Animal. I had no idea you were that b–ch. But turns out you totally are.” In an accompanying video, a then 22-year-old Kesha is asked what she thinks about how happy Animal is making her fans. “The only reason I made this record is to make kids have fun and have dance parties and inspire people to just be happy,” she says, her face covered in glitter in the clip that ends with a montage of looks and iconic moments from that era. “This whole is just kind of a very youthful, irreverent record. And I want it to be one of those records that you just put on and no matter what you’re doing or where you are it makes you happy.” The singer has released the songs “Delusional” and “Joyride” as the first singles from her upcoming, as-yet-untitled sixth album, which will be the first release from her Kesha Records imprint.

Jade Thirlwall has discussed her time on The X Factor as a member of pop group Little Mix, who won the eighth series of the British version of the talent show in 2011. Alongside bandmates Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson, the quartet were the first group to win the British version of the show. Little Mix went on to release six studio albums, most recently 2020’s Confetti. The band went on hiatus in 2022 and all members have pursued solo careers in the ensuing years. Speaking to The Independent, Thirlwall said some parts of the show were “pretty f––ed up” while expanding on the pressures of appearing on the show, and the level of safeguarding contestants were offered. The British version of the show last aired in 2018, though other versions of the franchise continue to air elsewhere around the globe, including Denmark, Italy and Indonesia, among others. “I think it had to end, I don’t think that kind of show can exist any more. We’re in a different place now,” Thirlwall said of the competition. “We wouldn’t put someone that’s mentally unwell on a TV screen and laugh at them while they sing terribly. The concept of a joke act on a show is just cruel. It’s all very Roman empire. But then at the same time, was it not the best training ever for me to enter the music industry?” Thirlwall added: “I don’t know anyone that’s come off that show and not had some sort of mental health issue on the back of it, but also, even now, personally I’m conflicted criticizing [it], because it changed my life,” she said. “I was from a very normal working-class family up north, I had tried sending demos into labels, I’d gigged all over, I was doing everything I could to make it, and I needed a show like that to give me a chance.” Thirlwall, who auditioned for the show three times, also spoke on the housing situation for female contestants who were placed in shared dormitories. “Even at 18, I knew there were people who weren’t mentally well in there, keeping everyone up at night,” Thirlwall said. “I don’t know if there was even security outside the house. It’s scary to think about now, but I was too young to realize that at the time.” She continued: “I’d say five per cent of the people that went on there have come out of it not unscathed, but having survived; the other 95 per cent have suffered in silence,” she said. “How do you go from being on that show to back to your nine-to-five? How do you get signed to the label, think you’ve made it, and then once your song doesn’t hit the Top 10, you’re just dropped? It’s so savage, this machine that we’re a part of. Even back then, we knew how lucky we were every day that we were still signed.” In 2023, Rebecca Ferguson, who was runner-up in 2010 to Matt Cardle in season seven, criticized the show and described her experience as “traumatic,” and implored broadcaster ITV to investigate. The show again came under criticism following the death of One Direction’s Liam Payne in October 2024, who also appeared on the show in the same season as Ferguson and faced numerous addiction and mental health battles throughout his career. Later this week (Jan. 10), Thirlwall will release her latest solo single “IT Girl” via Sony Music. Her 2023 single “Angel Of My Dreams,” which tackled the industry’s darker side, featured in Billboard U.K.’s Songs of the Year list, and “showcased a fierce, focused artist ready to embrace every facet of her new solo era.” Source link

Just weeks after the release of her Lana project, SZA has teased plans for her next musical endeavors, hinting that it may simply be a ploy to satisfy the demands of her recording contract. Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news SZA shared these plans in a Tweet on Saturday (Jan. 4), in which she further mused that her next two records may also be her last. “To fulfill my last 2 album requirements I think I just wanna make peaceful children’s music n get outta here,” she wrote. “Then [I’ll] go be a farmer n donate the produce to underserved communities.” Though it’s difficult to determine whether SZA’s comments were made in earnest or with a sense of fun, recording albums simply to meet contractual obligations is far from a new undertaking. Ahead of the release of 1968’s now-iconic Astral Weeks album, Van Morrison had attempted to leave his former label Bang Records by recording 36 tracks that would fulfill his obligations and allow his release from the label. Despite recording songs about sandwiches and ringworm on an out-of-tune guitar, the tracks were deemed “nonsense” and not officially released until 2017. Another famous example came about when Marvin Gaye‘s divorce from Anna Gordy Gaye came to a head in 1977. As part of the legal proceedings, a deal was struck by Gaye’s lawyer to give his ex-wife 50% of the royalties of his next record. Though Gaye had initially planned to simply make a “quickie record — nothing heavy, nothing even good”, his perfectionism resulted in an album that, while not a commercial success, became a well-respected part of his discography. Currently, SZA’s discography boasts two studio albums – including 2017’s Ctrl and 2022’s Billboard 200-topping SOS – and deluxe editions of each record. It’s not known, however, how many albums her contract requires her to deliver. The deluxe edition of SOS, dubbed Lana, was released on Dec. 20 and has since seen the album clock up its 12th week atop the Billboard 200 albums chart. As a result, it now holds the honor of boasting the most weeks atop the chart for an R&B/hip-hop album by a woman. Lana featured an additional 15 songs prepended to the original record, though SZA has since told fans that the deluxe edition would be altered with new mixes. On Dec. 30, she shared that “updated mixes and new songs” will be added once her label “comes back from holiday”. Source link

Ariana Grande‘s Eternal Sunshine era is not over. Though she’s been focused on all things Glinda since the release of Wicked, she’s got some kind of companion to her 2024 album up her sleeves. The “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” singer was asked if she’s working on any new music while walking the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night (Jan. 5). Grande was nominated in the award category of best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture, for her role in Wicked; the award ended up going to Zoe Saldaña, for her work in Emilia Pérez. “It’s not something I’m thinking about right now,” Grande told Access Hollywood, before teasing: “But, you know, there’s something I made last year that will come out eventually. It’s an attachment of Eternal Sunshine. So, that does exist, and that will be coming out at some point.” “But no, I’m not in the studio at the moment,” she clarified. What exactly is “an attachment of Eternal Sunshine“? With no further details provided, it’s hard to say — but “attachment” is an interesting word choice. It could just be a roundabout way of referring to an extended version of the album, with previously unheard songs, or perhaps it could be a standalone project that’s tied to Eternal Sunshine in some way. Eternal Sunshine ruled the Billboard 200 at No. 1 for two weeks in 2024, and it’s spent a total of 42 weeks on the chart so far. Album singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends” both reached No. 1 on the Hot 100. The standard release of Eternal Sunshine was already followed by a “Slightly Deluxe” version of the album, featuring four additional tracks, in March: “Yes, And?” with Mariah Carey, “Supernatural” with Troye Sivan, an acoustic recording of “Imperfect for You” and an a capella version of “True Story.” While Grande didn’t take home an award Sunday night, she glowed at the Golden Globes in pale yellow, archival Givenchy. With her hair pulled back in a sweet ponytail and gloves covering her arms, the focus was on the empire-waist, beaded-bodice gown the singer-actress wore from the designer’s 1966 collection. According to People, an archivist at Givenchy shared, “The dress is pale yellow silk with a hand-beaded bodice … from the epic Givenchy Haute Couture/Audrey Hepburn era … one of the most important unions between a designer and muse.” See the full winners list from the 2025 Golden Globes here.

The holiday season may be over, but the hits are just heating up on the ARIA Singles Chart. As Christmas tracks retreat from their seasonal dominance, Rosé and Bruno Mars have reclaimed the crown with their smash hit “APT.,” catapulting from No. 8 back to No. 1 for an impressive eighth non-consecutive week on top. With holiday tunes swept off the charts, it’s time for pop’s biggest stars to shine again. Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True,” a former No. 1, leaps from No. 9 to No. 2, while Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With A Smile” ascends to No. 3 from No. 16. The track previously peaked at No. 2. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Other notable singles include Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” which jumps from No. 19 to No. 4 after topping the chart for two weeks in August, and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” climbing from No. 18 to No. 5. The latter spent five weeks at No. 1 during July and August. Sydney indie-pop duo Royel Otis debut at No. 47 with “Linger (SiriusXM Session),” a fresh take on The Cranberries’ 1994 hit “Linger.” The Cranberries’ original version became the band’s breakthrough single in the U.S., peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1994 and stayed on the charts for 24 weeks. It remains one of their most iconic tracks, blending alternative rock with orchestral elements and highlighting Dolores O’Riordan’s ethereal vocals. Royel Otis’ 2024 album Pratts & Pain earned two ARIA Awards last November. On the ARIA Albums Chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet continues to dominate, securing its eighth non-consecutive week at No. 1. The album’s standout tracks “Espresso” and “Taste” return to the top 10, climbing to No. 8 and No. 10 respectively. Ed Sheeran’s greatest hits compilation +–=÷× (Tour Collection) rises from No. 12 to No. 6, spurred by the release of a limited-edition vinyl. The album, which peaked at No. 4 in October, showcases six of Ed’s Australian No. 1 singles, including “Shape of You” and “Bad Habits.” Source link

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won the Golden Globe Award for best original score for Challengers on Sunday (Jan. 5). “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez won for best original song. The song was written by Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard. The awards were presented at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif and televised on CBS. This is Reznor and Ross’ third win for best original score, following The Social Network (2011) and Soul (a collab with Jon Batiste, 2021). This puts the Nine Inch Nails members in a tie with Justin Hurwitz as the only three-time winners for best original score this century at the Globes. Hurwitz won for La La Land, First Man and Babylon. The other nominees for best original score were Volker Bertelmann (Conclave), Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist), Kris Bowers (The Wild Robot), Clément Ducol and Camille (Emilia Pérez) and Hans Zimmer (Dune: Part Two). The award was presented by Elton John and Brandi Carlile, who are among the co-writers of “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late. The song is shortlisted for an Oscar for best original song but was passed over for a Golden Globe nod. Before presenting the award, John made reference to his vision problems and assured the audience they weren’t as bad as has been reported, before playing it off with a joke, referring to his co-presenter as Rihanna. All of these scores except Dune: Part Two are shortlisted for Oscar consideration as best original score. Dune: Part Two was ruled ineligible by the Oscars because it leans too heavily on Zimmer’s Oscar-winning score for the first Dune. The Oscar shortlist of 20 scores was announced on Dec. 17. Oscar nominations are set to be announced on Jan. 17.  “El Mal” is the first Golden Globe-winning song that was co-written by the director of the film (Jacques Audiard in this case) since “Masterpiece” from W.E. in 2012. That film’s director, Madonna, co-wrote “Masterpiece.” An earlier Globe-winning song, “You Light Up My Life” from the film of the same name, was solely written by the film’s director, Joe Brooks. That ballad, which went on to win an Oscar, won in 1978. To win best original song, “El Mal” beat another song from Emilia Pérez, “Mi Camino” (written by Ducol and Camille), as well as “Beautiful That Way” from The Last Showgirl (by Andrew Wyatt, Miley Cyrus and Lykke Zachrisson), “Compress / Repress” from Challengers (by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Luca Guadagnino), “Forbidden Road” from Better Man (by Robbie Williams, Freddy Wexler and Sacha Skarbek) and “Kiss the Sky” from The Wild Robot (by Delacey, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Maren Morris, Michael Pollack and Ali Tamposi). All but two of these songs are shortlisted for Oscar consideration as best original song. “Beautiful That Way” didn’t make the Oscar shortlist of 15 songs. “Forbidden Road” did, initially, but was removed from the shortlist when it was discovered that the song bears similarities to a 51-year-old film song, “I Got a Name” from The Last American Hero. That song, a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the late Jim Croce, was cowritten by Charles Fox, who is one of three people representing the music branch on the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Last year’s Golden Globe winner for best original score, Ludwig Göransson for Oppenheimer, went on to win the Oscar in that category, as have the last three Globe winners for best original song, “No Time to Die” from the James Bond movie of the same name (by Billie Eilish and Finneas), “Naatu Naatu” from RRR (by M. M. Keeravani & Chandrabose) and “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie (also by Eilish and Finneas). The Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Corporation. PMC is also the parent company of Billboard.  Source link
