The milestone gives Combs his 21st No. 1 on the chart and places him alongside Thomas Rhett and Keith Urban among artists who have reached that total. Be By You is also the third Country Airplay leader from Combs’ album The Way I Am, following Back in the Saddle and Sleepless in a Hotel Room.

The song stands out from much of Combs’ catalog because he is not one of its writers. Dan Alley, Sam Banks and Nick Walsh wrote Be By You. It becomes only the third Country Airplay No. 1 recorded by Combs that he did not help write.

The latest chart achievement continues a long run of radio success for Combs, who has remained one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers in recent years.

The opening-night concert also introduced production elements tied to Brooks’ earlier tours, including the return of his rotating drum pod. As announced in connection with the tour, performances from the new run are also expected to contribute material for an upcoming live album.

The set focused on familiar hits and fan favorites, giving the show a strong connection to Brooks’ 1990s catalog. Rather than presenting the tour as a complete reinvention, the production brings several recognizable parts of his classic live shows back into a modern arena setting.

Indianapolis serves as the first stop for the tour, with multiple performances scheduled in the same venue before Brooks moves on to additional dates. The opening night established the tour as a celebration of the music and concert style that helped define his career.

With the release of his first single WAVE, Park is stepping forward as a singer and songwriter. The track features Joohoney of MONSTA X and includes a recognizable reference to the Baby Shark melody before shifting into a modern electropop sound.

Park also took part in writing the lyrics, giving the song a more personal connection to his own story. Rather than distancing himself from the video that made him widely recognizable, the project uses that history as part of his introduction as an artist.

Baby Shark Dance became one of the biggest viral videos in internet history and eventually the most-viewed video on YouTube. WAVE now gives Park a chance to build an identity beyond that childhood appearance while keeping a connection to where his public journey began.

Disney confirmed Combs’ appearance as part of the new season, which also includes several other celebrity guest stars. In the episode, Combs performs an original song called Watch Out for the Greens while bringing his familiar country style to the animated character.

The role marks a new kind of project for Combs, who said the opportunity stood out because his young sons are Disney fans. He also explained that Rusty Twang was close enough to his own personality that he was able to use a natural version of his speaking voice for the performance.

Combs has not ruled out doing more voice acting in the future. The appearance arrives during another notable period in his career, following his milestone as the first solo country artist to headline London’s Wembley Stadium.

The announced lineup brings together several familiar names from country music, including Ricky Skaggs, Ronnie Milsap, Jamey Johnson, Gretchen Wilson, Mark Chesnutt, Lee Greenwood, Collin Raye, Darryl Worley, Mark Wills and Billy Dean. Randy Travis is also expected to make a special appearance, while comedian and country artist Cledus T. Judd will host the event.

The concert will highlight Stevens’ wide-ranging career as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer. His catalog includes comedy hits such as The Streak as well as the Grammy-winning Everything Is Beautiful.

Stevens has remained a distinctive figure in country and popular music, blending humor, musicianship and traditional songwriting throughout his career. The tribute is designed to recognize that legacy with performances from artists connected to multiple generations of country music.

The opening-night event is also tied closely to Lambert’s upcoming album, Crisco, which is scheduled for release on October 2. Organizers said the show will include songs from across her career along with material connected to the new project.

Lambert will be joined by a 12-piece string section for the performance, adding new arrangements to portions of the set. The concert is being presented as a one-night-only event and will serve as both a venue launch and a showcase for Lambert’s latest music.

Tickets for the October 1 performance are scheduled to go on sale August 21. The show adds another major date to Nashville’s fall live music calendar while introducing a new concert space to the city.

During the show’s six-season run, Panettiere performed dozens of songs that were later released commercially on soundtrack albums. Several recordings reached the country charts, including Telescope, Undermine, Wrong Song and Don’t Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet.

Her music career started years before Nashville. As a child performer, Panettiere recorded songs connected to movies including Ice Princess and Bridge to Terabithia. In 2008, she released Wake Up Call, her first single not connected to an acting project.

Her recording history also included an early Grammy milestone. At age 10, Panettiere received a nomination for her voice work on the A Bug’s Life Read-Along, making her one of the youngest Grammy nominees in history.

During the August 16 show, Roan also took a moment to praise Kahan before the performance. She told the audience that Kahan has consistently supported her and described him as a good person, adding a personal note to their appearance together.

The duet came during a major night for Kahan, whose Rose Bowl date marked the largest headlining concert of his career. The show was part of his Great Divide Tour and included material from his recent work as well as fan favorites.

Kahan closed the concert with an encore featuring End of August, Homesick and Stick Season. Roan’s appearance added another notable live collaboration to a night that marked a new milestone in Kahan’s touring career.

The newly announced schedule includes stops in Minneapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia, Foxborough, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Edmonton, Vancouver, Boise and Denver. The 2027 leg is set to conclude June 26 at Petco Park in San Diego. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin were also announced as special guests for the stadium dates.

The extension follows a major 2026 run that sold more than 1.37 million tickets and recently included three shows in London. Combs is also touring behind his March 2026 album The Way I Am, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Tickets for the newly added concerts are scheduled to go on sale Aug. 21, with access also available through his Bootleggers fan club presale.

Billboard highlighted the achievement after “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” Langley’s duet with Morgan Wallen, reached the top of the chart dated August 15, 2026. The song follows two other Dandelion tracks that previously hit No. 1: “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her.”

With those three chart leaders, Dandelion becomes just the 13th album by a woman to generate at least three Country Airplay No. 1 singles. The accomplishment also marks the first time in more than a decade that an album by a female artist has reached that threshold.

The milestone adds another notable chapter to Langley’s strong 2026. Dandelion, released in April, also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and became her first album to lead the all-genre chart.
