Riley Green and Ella Langley have officially confirmed their romantic involvement, marking a significant moment in the country music scene. Their recent collaboration, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” has soared to the pinnacle of the charts by achieving the number one spot. Remarkably, they are only the second duo since the inception of the chart in January 1990 to achieve multiple collaborative number ones, following in the footsteps of Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, who dominated the charts in 2020 with their hits “Nobody but You” and “Happy Anywhere.” This accomplishment also places Riley as the first artist since Taylor Swift to secure consecutive Country Airplay number ones with songs solely written by himself.
In a separate yet exciting development, country star Keith Urban has just unveiled a full-length live album titled High And A(Live). The album features recordings from his recent High And Alive World Tour and includes live renditions of his most popular songs, such as “Long Hot Summer,” “Days Go By,” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” Urban has also treated fans with a new cover of “You Get What You Give,” originally recorded by the pop group The Radicals, showcasing his versatility and commitment to his craft.
Additionally, Kenny Chesney is captivating audiences not just with his music but also through his literary endeavors. His new book, “Heart, Life, Music,” has quickly ascended to the New York Times bestseller list, reflecting his immense popularity and the wealth of stories he has to share. Following the success of this book, Chesney has hinted at the possibility of a second installment, indicating that there are many more anecdotes fans can look forward to. True to his reputation, Chesney continues to deliver what his fans crave, solidifying his status as a beloved figure in the country music industry.
