Chris Janson just released his new album 'Real Friends' this past Friday (October 18), and this morning he performed a couple of the songs on the TODAY Show this morning! 

He performed his latest, and #1 single, "Good Vibes":

He also performed another song off his new album, "Done", a song he wrote about his wife:

Hootie and the Blowfish, lead by Darius Rucker, are back and have released a long awaited new single called "Hold On". This song was co-written by Chris Stapleton and songwriter Jim Beavers, and will appear on their upcoming album Imperfect Circle! Other co-writers who contributed to the album include Eric Paslay, Ed Sheeran, Adam Doleac, and of course, Hootie and the Blowfish.

The 13 track album will be available on November 1st and can be pre-ordered on their website! 

LANCO is back with a couple of new songs that are both available through digital retailers... their new single "What I See", and "Old Camaro". The new single, which we played for you tonight (October 14) during Trending Tracks was written by members of LANCO, frontman Brandon Lancaster, drummer Tripp Howell, bassist Chandler Baldwin and songwriter Jeremy Spillman. 

The song is a modern twist on sentimental and nostalgic hometown memories. “We had the idea for ‘What I See’ after our bus picked us up in this little random parking lot with just a rundown bar and restaurant,” Lancaster said in a press release. “To us, it might have been insignificant as we were just passing through, but to someone, it could be a landmark. This could be the place where someone spent all their Friday nights or had their first fender-bender in high school. We started talking about all our upbringings, and realized that we all have those places in our own towns that meant something to us whether it’s the football field or just an exit sign. Though insignificant to most, they are part of our stories, so this song shines a light on the idea that ‘there’s more than meets the eye.’”

Both songs will be included on their upcoming sophomore album, more details to come! 

If you have been keeping up with Chris Lane, you know he had some big, big news recently with his engagement to girlfriend Lauren Bushnell! "Big, Big Plans" was written for Lauren, Chris wrote the song along with songwriters Jacob Durrett and Ernest K. Smith. 

He first revealed the song during his proposal to Lauren, which was captured and turned into a video. Now, it's his next single!

Next up for Chris is his Big, Big Plans tour which will stop at the House of Blues in Cleveland on February 20th... and of course wedding planning! 

Sam Hunt has released his first single since "Downtown's Dead" which was released in May of 2018. So this new one of his has been a long time coming... not to mention all the teaser posts on his social media pages that really had us on the edge of our seats for this new song, but now the wait is over! "Kinfolks" is a traditional themed love song with a modern day twist. 

Sam says that in the next year, he plans to tour, and release that long awaited second album!

Runaway June have released their next single from their album Blue Roses! "Head Over Heels" was written by the trio consisting of Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland, and Jennifer Wayne, as well as songwriters Tommy Cecil and Jared Mullins, and is a break up anthem for the guy who likes to drunk dial. 

Runaway June will be at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Wednesday, October 16th along with Maddie & Tae on Carrie Underwood's The Cry Pretty Tour 360!

In September, rosing star Lainey Wilson released her four track EP Hollywood Redneck! She co-wrote the songs on the EP including her single "Dirty Looks"! She recently visited the WQMX Studios to play her songs for us, and we want to know what you think about this one! 

Remember not too long ago when Blake Shelton said he wasn't really focusing on releasing new albums but rather just taking things song by song? He did do that releasing his most recent #1 "God's Country", his single "Hell Right" with Trace Adkins, and his duet with Garth Brooks "Dive Bar".

Today he announced that he will be releasing a new album... kinda.

It's called Fully Loaded: God's Country and will feature twelve tracks. Seven of the singles we will have heard already, they are hits from his previous albums, and will also include five new singles. Blake said in a press release that fans will be familiar with those songs before the album is released, "With five new songs on this album, you’ve got “God’s Country," "Hell Right" and a few more that haven’t come out yet – maybe I wasn’t supposed to say that. But the fans will hear most of the music on Fully Loaded before it hits the streets in December.”

The track listing is not availble as of yet, but the release date is December 13th. Put that on your calendar!

A couple of weeks ago, Carly Pearce posted to social media that she had some exciting news to share, but also shared an image of a broken heart...

No too soon after she posted, Lee Brice posted a similar image and inquiring minds started putting 2 and 2 together, that they just might have recorded a song together. Carly later confirmed this by announcing on Facebook Live that she did in fact have a new song coming out that Lee lent his vocals on.

Luke Combs helped Carly write her new single along with songwriters Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana. "I Hope You're Happy Now" will be featured on Carly's sophomore album which is due out later this year. 

George Strait's next single from his latest album Honky Tonk Time Machine tips his hat to police officers. "The Weight of the Badge" tells the story of an officer who followed in his father's footsteps and was co-written by George, his son Bubba, and longtime songwriting partner Dean Dillion.
