FGL and Bebe Rexha have claimed the record for the longest-ruling #1 in the history of the Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart as “Meant to Be” clocks its 35th week in the top spot. They finally dethroned Sam Hunt’s “Body Like A Back Road.” Fun fact, FGL has the #3 song on the list as well with “Cruise.”
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are again denying rumors that they "secretly" married over the weekend -- something one of their close friends says won't be happening anytime soon.
A source close to the couple says, “Neither Gwen or Blake want to jinx what they have. It’s so perfect as it is, and they’re aware that sometimes getting married can add an extra pressure to a relationship, and they don’t want to risk that right now. They’ve both been married before so they don’t see the point of rushing things.”

Brett Young is making a happier album…
Jake Owen has another #1…
Brett Young has been hard at work on his next album. His debut album was filled with songs about heartbreak, but this one is going to be different because now that Brett is engaged, he's finding inspiration in the happier moments in life.
He says, “It is definitely a happier-feeling album. I did, though, want to make sure that we didn’t just put out 12 love songs. Everybody has way more broken-heart stories than happily ever after. So there’s more uptempo songs and just the overall feel is happier. But I still put a good amount of breakup songs in there for the people that are connecting to those right now.”
Brett will release his sophomore album this year.
Big congrats to Jake Owen as he scores his 7th #1 single, his first with his new record label Big Loud, with “I Was Jack, (You Were Diane).” Jake took to Instagram to say thank you and to say he feels like he is just getting started!
