Mega This song just randomly enters US itunes top 100. And these two songs by Megan McKenna from England is currently #1 and #4 on UK itunes (although UK itunes is almost dead now...) Megan has been on a bunch of popular (and kinda trashy) reality shows in the UK and currently has a TV show about trying to launch a country career in Nashville (which has been her dream for years)... I'm really surprised about her getting the top2 on iTunes. Digital Sales have been down but it's still a pretty big accomplishment!

THE DUGGER BAND:
They grew up in a gospel singing family, so singing and touring has always been a big part of their family life. They have been writing, singing, recording, and touring with country music for several years, and have a good regional following in and around their hometown of Greeneville, TN. They have just released their first national single, which is making some noise in some parts of the country outside their comfort zone. Link to this single, "East Tennessee Son," below, which is available to radio at plaympe etc., and to listeners at itunes, etc., all the usual outlets.

I heard this a few weeks ago and really like it a lot. The lyrics and vocals are honestly nothing special...but something about the simple nature of the song draws me in.

Accostic version of his number 9 hit in Texas. He is being groomed by veterans in country music like Tracy Bird, Wade Bowen, Gabe Garcia, Jon Pardi to name afew. His new single Here I Go Again is co-written by Bart Butler who co-wrote Jon Pardi's Heartache On The Dance Floor, and produced Ain't Always The Cowboy. Clay's mother is Mexican-American and his father is white. Nashville needs a Latino on their record label, and this guy could put out hits like Jon Pardi.
Here I Go Again reminds me of a Brooks and Dunn song. I have a feeling he will get snagged by a major record label soon. This song skyrocketed on the Texas Music Charts.

Cass is from Australia, and is supposed to released this single here for US radio. She is on the Youtube Vevo's list of new crop of country artists alongside the likes of Tenneille Arts, Tennille Townes, Ashley BcBryde, Travis Dennining and others new comers to country music. They do not usually list Austalian artists under US unless the song is being placed in this market.

Helium Records Darlinghurst released this song to US radio on June 29th. They hit number 5 on the Australian radio charts. They remind me of a mixed of The Band Perry with Litrtle Big Town with an attitude of a Mary Chapin-Carpenter rolled into one. The song was discovered by December from a San Antonio radio station last December for Keep It Or Get Rid Of It for it to be played at the San Antonio Spurs games. It Sounded like it was a keep it and grew in popularity where the band decided to released this nationally. I think they may have the appeal to get a big hit out of this song on the mainstream radio. Just need a major label to get behind this one.

Tyler Childers' official debut album Purgatory (produced by Sturgill Simpson) comes out August 4 via Hickman Holler/Thirty Tigers. Tyler Childers is an Kentucky native who has independently released an album in 2011 and a few live EPs since then. Here are the first two pre-release tracks (Even though Whitehouse Road is years old, the recording is new for Purgatory): Tyler hit the top 50 Billboard Top 50 Hot Country Charts last year with "All Your'N" with a funny video. There are good artists out there not being picked up by record labels and radio right now. I remember there are a lot of major labels and a lot of artists signed to them. Now, there are so few under major labels.

Brandon Ray was a solo artist a few years back. He did have some songs released, so he is not a new name to me.
For the European country artists? Country radio stations are changing to like top 40 pop stations which gives those artists less exposures in Europe. That is why we are starting to see more of these artists like like Twinnie and Meghan McKenna to move to Nashville. There are some Australian and Canadian artists in Nashville now to expand their base of fans.
Andrew Farriss don't need it since he was already famous when he was part of I.N.X.S. He went outlaw country on his debut country solo album.

Jaden Hamilton did a cover of Morgan Wallen's "More Than My Hometown." This morning, Morgan released an official video for the song, and the guy looked familiar in the video. It seems Morgan got Jaden to be in his video. He is another TikTok/Youtube star that released his own music. I look at them both Jaden and the guy in Morgan's video, and they look very similar. Not the first time this happened. I wonder if Morgan's label gonna sign Jaden?

They need to get Brad to hook up with Luke Combs to do a song together, and go on tour. Brad is from Australia, and he is close to Australia's version of Luke Combs. The tour would be like a BEER PARTY fun.

Allie Colleen Brooks is a rising star in her own right. She is the daughter of Garth Brooks. I would not be surprise that she lands on her father's Pearl Records to make her become mainstream. She is just outside of the top 60 small market radio airplay.

Derek is a wounded warrior who fought for our country. This song hit in the top 30 Billboard small market radio airplay. He is on the Star Farm Nashville Records which Star Farm Nashville is the promotion branch of Reviver Entertainment Group. So far the only acts that charted this year out of Reviver and Star Farm are Big & Rich, Derek Johnson and Bobby McClendon. Star Farm Nashville was formed in 2014 by two former Bigger Picture Group promotion team of Michael Powers and Matt Corbin. They had unfinished business when Bigger Picture closed. They promoted hit singles for Zac Brown Band, Glorians, Craig Campbell and more. That same year, Reviver formed the Nashville base of their entertainment group signing LoCash to a record deal. I do think that with the success that two of the Star Farm artists are having? They are getting backing money help from a major label. Derek Johnson, Bobby McClendon and The Davisson Brothers could be groom to join the main roaster at Revivor. They only have 5 acts, and with how Derek is doing? He could be the 6th to join Big & Rich.

I know several of you all liked Walker County's The Hamptons...and now they are back with Shovel. They are on Warner Bros, so I'm hopeful for a push at some point. So talented!

Next rising country star out of Texas. Billboard listed his new song, "Think About You" is going for Adds on mainstream radio. We need more good songs and Texas music on the charts. The country charts is nothing without them since many legends came from that state.

Hayden is the guy from College Station, Texas in Brad Paisley's video for "No I In Beer." You could tell in Hayden's music that he is influenced by Brad.

Season 15 winner of The Voice Chevel Shepherd recently released her first music video. It's a song from her EP. Kelly Clarkson did an amazing job finding her songs-all the songs I've heard have been great.

The Merkins created a parody singing acts from baddies from horror films. Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies is 1/5th of The Slashstreet Boys. Leatherface went solo to release his own songs which are parody of country songs. Scream Like You Are Dying is a parody of Tim McGraw's song Live Like You Are Dying big hit. Leatherface debut solo song is "Friends With No Faces" which is a parody of Garth Brooks' "Friends In Low Places" and his new single is "Sawin' You Apart" which is a parody of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart." Slashstreet Boys is a parody of the Backstreet Boys.
They made fun of Wham's "Careless Whisper" song by George Michael Myers from the Halloween movie franchise and Ghostface singing Stevie Wonder's song.

Should Teddy team up with George Strait on this song? Teddy gave George's hit a new whole soul meaning to it.
