Kelsea Ballerini to release her sophomore album…
Darius Rucker will release his fifth country album, When Was the Last Time, on October 20th.
He says the recording process went smoothly. "Every time we were in the studio we had a great band who had great ideas of their own, so it was the farthest thing from tedious, but just, let’s get in and do it. I think for the whole record we spent just three days tracking music."
Kelsea Ballerini announced the name and some details about her long-awaited sophomore album.
The album is named Unapologetically and will be released on November 3rd.
She says, "I feel like I've been keeping a secret for two years that I finally get to tell. I've never been more proud as I am of this record, the story it tells, and the heart my friends and I put into it. So, November 3rd, we get to start the next chapter! Unapologetically.”
So the new album then her wedding- that is one way to wrap up the year!

Rascal Flatts are celebrating because “Yours If You Want It" is at the top of the Mediabase Country Airplay chart. This is their first number-one since 2015. You can see them sing a bunch of their #1s at Canal Park in downtown Akron on August 5th.
Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans have set a date for their wedding, but they're not telling exactly when. Only that it will be near the end of the year.
She and Morgan have been so busy with their careers, there's not much time to plan an elaborate wedding. That's OK, because that's not what they want anyway.
She says that they'll be working hard until the big day and then will take the month of December off.
