Produced by Trent Willmon, Tumbleweed will include 14 tracks that perfectly combine traditional Texas country, Western swing, and modern Nashville stylings, while showcasing Milligan’s timeless musicality.

Milligan will be celebrating today’s announcements on the Grand Ole Opry stage tonight at 7:00pm CT.

About Drake Milligan:

Drake Milligan burst onto the national music stage entering the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart at #5 after dominating iTunes with his debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth, charting back-to-back #1 hits on the iTunes Country Songs Chart, #1 on iTunes All-Genre Chart and reclaimed the #1 spot on iTunes Country Albums Chart, all while simultaneously holding positions #1, #2, #3 and #5 on iTunes Country Video Chart. In the UK, Milligan’s debut album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Official Country Artists Albums Chart. A student of classic Country music with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Fort Worth, Texas native is an electrifying entertainer who cites George Strait and Elvis Presley – the King of Country and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – as musical heroes, and his unique twist of traditional Country has been embraced by fans, peers and the media alike.

Following his Dallas/Fort Worth debut – named “One of the Best Country Albums of 2022” by Billboard and others – Milligan uncorked a Canadian Country Radio #1 in 2023 (“Honky Tonkin’ About” with The Reklaws) and garnered 5 million views in just a few months with “Cowgirl For Christmas.” His latest EP release titled, Jukebox Songs, features four all new tracks and was released in 2024, with hit single “I Got A Problem” earning #1 on the Australian Country Radio charts. The acclaimed “Artist to Watch” (CMT, Pandora, etc.) also returned to his primetime TV roots for a performance on the America’s Got Talent spin-off show, America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League and hit the road alongside Cody Johnson on his 2024 U.S. arena tour. With over 230M streams worldwide, Milligan has spent 2025 on his own headlining tour and opening for Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton.

ATLUS DEBUTS AMONG THE MOST ADDED AT COUNTRY RADIO WITH 57 IMPACTFUL ADDS FOR “DEVIL AIN’T DONE”

October 14, 2025

ATLUS DEBUTS AMONG THE MOST ADDED AT COUNTRY RADIO WITH 57 IMPACTFUL ADDS FOR “DEVIL AIN’T DONE”

THE PLATINUM RECORDING ARTIST RELEASED SECONDHAND SMOKE EP ON FRIDAY

EP OUT NOW MARKS LABEL DEBUT VIA BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE

Platinum recording artist Atlus landed among the most added at country radio this week with his Stoney Creek Records debut single “Devil Ain’t Done,” closing with 57 adds. The single served as the lead release from his BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville debut EP, Secondhand Smoke, that was released on Friday.

“As a truck driver, I used to sing ‘Life Is a Highway’ behind the wheel, driving what seemed to be endless miles thinking I’d never be on anything other than that pavement for the rest of my days. Now, we’re on country radio!” said Atlus. “I want to say THANK YOU to every station and to every person at country radio who believes in ‘Devil Ain’t Done’ and is giving this song and this dream a shot!”

Connecting with both fans and industry with his personal stories, the radio community shared incredible support for the single.

His debut radio single, “Devil Ain’t Done,” is an instant fan favorite with infectious grooves and melodies highlighting the former truck driver's lyrics of reflection on self-doubt & perseverance. Grappling with relatable struggles that so many empathize with, this track expands on the singer-songwriter’s mission to make music that is both universal and uniquely him. Listen HERE / Watch Video below

PLATINUM RECORDING ARTIST ATLUS RELEASES SECONDHAND SMOKE EP

October 10, 2025

Platinum recording artist Atlus releases his BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville debut EP, Secondhand Smoke, today. The six-song collection marks the next chapter for the viral hitmaker whose career has grown from underground phenom to a billion-plus on-demand streams, four independent studio albums, a Platinum single, national touring, and millions of fans across social platforms.

“The songs on Secondhand Smoke are more than just individual tracks; they are chapters from my life,” says Atlus. ”Each one tells a story that I’ve lived through and it’s my hope that they push somebody out there to keep fighting, dreaming, and that there is something in one of those chapters that helps them keep showing up.”

Pulling back the curtain on his past to forge a new path forward, Secondhand Smoke sees Atlus writing on each track, confronting deeply personal themes, from a turbulent home life and his mother’s resilience, to his sister’s battle with addiction and his own journey with mental health. Listen to Secondhand Smoke Below.

His mother remains his biggest supporter, and much of the Secondhand Smoke EP pays tribute to her and hardworking women like her. The title track recalls how she never let circumstances define her, working long hours to make trailer and car payments, with cigarettes providing her one small comfort.

“I didn’t care about secondhand smoke because I saw what she was going through. It was like therapy, and the glue that kept her held together.” Even listeners who have not had the same experience can relate to a parent leaning on something to make it through.

“Baby Momma” continues that homage. The song flips its title into a triple entendre, a nod to the rap wordplay that shaped his style alongside country, pop, and rock. It even features a voice note from his mom singing a melody his grandfather wrote about him. “It’s a song my grandpa used to sing to me. My new music is really a tribute to them.”

Family has always been his priority. His success has allowed him to retire his mom, but before music took off, the now 33-year-old juggled two truck-driving jobs, UPS shifts, and Uber rides to cover studio time. He wrote his first two albums behind the wheel, practicing vocals and uploading a new track or video to YouTube each week.

His debut radio single, “Devil Ain’t Done,” impacts country radio this Monday, October 13. An instant fan favorite, infectious grooves and melodies highlight the former truck driver's lyrics in “Devil Ain’t Done” as it reflects themes of self-doubt & perseverance. Grappling with relatable struggles that so many empathize with, this track expands on the singer-songwriter’s mission to make music that is both universal and uniquely him. Listen HERE / Watch Video HERE

Atlus marked the release of Secondhand Smoke with a special Nashville preview performance at Cannery Hall last night to a capacity crowd.

About Atlus:

Raised in a single-parent home marked by poverty and addiction, Atlus had to grow up fast, building resilience and a lifelong commitment to authenticity in his music. Phonetically named after the mythological Titan who held up the heavens, he began writing while working long hours as a commercial truck driver, crafting lyrics and melodies behind the wheel to help support his family and fund studio time.

That pavement-pounding grind became both his classroom and his engine, fueling the rise of a loyal underground following. Breakthrough moments soon followed, including performing alongside Jelly Roll at a packed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his home state and landing a Top 5 album on Spotify’s Global Album Chart. With over a billion on-demand streams, millions of followers across socials, and a Platinum single to his name, Atlus continues to turn personal stories into universal anthems. Now signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, his most revealing project yet, Secondhand Smoke, is out now (October 10).

HUNTERGIRL CELEBRATES ROOTS AND RESILIENCE WITH NEW SONG “DIRT” — OUT NOW

October 10, 2025

America’s sweetheart and powerhouse songwriter HunterGirl releases her new song “Dirt,” produced by CMA Award–winning Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson), today via 19 Recordings/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Steeped in authentic country storytelling, “Dirt” paints a vivid picture of small-town traditions, family ties, and the timeless wisdom passed down through generations. From creek bank fishing trips and garden rows to Sunday talks and muddy four-wheeler rides, the track reflects HunterGirl’s own Tennessee upbringing with a heartfelt reminder: out of all the roads you take in life, make sure some of them are dirt. Listen Below.

The new release follows the success of her label-debut Tennessee Girl EP and breakout song “Ain’t About You,” further cementing HunterGirl’s reputation as one of country music’s most dynamic rising stars. Praised by People for her “incredible voice” and CMT for her “soaring vocals and superstar potential,” HunterGirl continues to connect with fans through songs that feel lived-in and universally relatable.

“‘Dirt’ is about the little things that shape who you are — the places, people, and memories that keep you grounded no matter how far you go,” shares HunterGirl. “For me, that’s Tennessee soil, my family, and all the lessons I learned growing up. I hope listeners hear their own roots in this song and are reminded of what makes life truly matter.”

HunterGirl, who first captured America’s heart as the runner-up on American Idol, was named to CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country and has been spotlighted by MusicRow as “a major, major new talent.” With nearly 80 million global streams, a Grand Ole Opry debut to standing ovations, and tours with Luke Bryan and Kimberly Perry, she has quickly become one of Nashville’s most exciting new voices.

About HunterGirl:

HunterGirl is a vocal powerhouse and sharp songwriter rooted in Tennessee storytelling. Onstage since age three and writing by nine, she has performed nationwide and worked with veterans nonprofits such as Operation Song, Freedom Sings, and A Soldier’s Child, helping service members turn their stories into songs. After moving to Nashville, she cut her teeth in Lower Broadway’s most storied rooms, building a loyal base and a reputation for command of the stage. In 2022, she captured national attention as the runner up on American Idol, delivering standout performances that won over millions. Idol judge Luke Bryan called her the “new age Miranda Lambert” and his “favorite female Country voice.” Momentum followed. Named to CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country and praised by People for her “incredible voice,” she has shared stages with Old Dominion, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, Alan Jackson, and Lainey Wilson, and toured with Luke Bryan and Kimberly Perry. MusicRow calls her “a major, major new talent.” With nearly 80 million global streams and a Grand Ole Opry debut, she continues to connect through songs that feel lived in and true to her roots. Her label debut EP Tennessee Girl showcased range and heart, led by fan favorites “Bad Boy” and “Ain’t About You.” She can fire off a big chorus, then drop to a line that hits like a confession, a mix of power and vulnerability that has become her calling card. On October 10, she returns with “Dirt” on 19 Recordings/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, a song that celebrates the people and places that shape you and the simple lessons that keep you grounded. It is the next step for an artist writing from real life and carving out her own lane in country music.

BRANTLEY GILBERT SIGNS WITH BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE

October 6, 2025

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville is thrilled to announce the signing of MULTI-PLATINUM-selling country artist and 7x #1 powerhouse Brantley Gilbert. Led by Jon Loba, BMG Americas President of Frontline Records, the BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville team joined Gilbert on stage at his Nashville stop of the Tattoos Tour that runs coast-to-coast across North America through February 2026.

“I’m fired up to kick off this next chapter with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville,” shares Gilbert. “They support their artists in ways that really move the needle, and it means a lot that they believe in what we're building and want to be a part of it. We've got some big things on the horizon, and I'm looking forward to having this crew in my corner as we take it to the next level.”

"I’ll never forget years ago when JoJamie Hahr came into my office on fire about an independent artist named Brantley Gilbert," says Loba. "From my first listen, it was easy to hear what she was so excited about. He proved her right, exploding into the mainstream of Country music. He continues to be one of the most exceptional writers of today with the live show to match. We saw the rabid connection he’s built with his audience again Friday night at First Bank Amphitheatre. JoJamie and I dreamed of one day working again with Brantley. Luckily for us and BMG, dreams come true!"

The electrifying, hell-raisin’ entertainer, who has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasts back-to-back PLATINUM-selling albums and seven chart-topping #1s including the RIAA 7x PLATINUM “Bottoms Up;” 2x PLATINUM “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x PLATINUM “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x PLATINUM “One Hell of An Amen;” and the PLATINUM-certified “What Happens In A Small Town.” He also wrote ACM Artist of the Decade and now labelmate Jason Aldean’s massive #1 smashes “Dirt Road Anthem” and “My Kinda Party.”

A godfather of country’s modern rock-and-rap rebellion, this fiery ACM, CMA, and AMA award-winner has been carving his legacy since 2009 — fusing unshakable grit with blue-collar values and humble faith that’s helped define the genre. With a hard-earned formula of no-BS authenticity and adrenaline-fueled storytelling, he laid the groundwork for today’s boundary-breaking country scene.

JELLY ROLL TOPS THE COUNTRY RADIO CHARTS WITH EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE #1 - “HEART OF STONE”

October 6, 2025

With 21 genre-spanning Award wins and four GRAMMY nominations, Jelly Roll earns his eighth consecutive #1 at country radio with the powerful single “Heart of Stone.” Featured on his critically acclaimed sophomore country album, Beautifully Broken, that debuted at #1 on the Billboard200 chart (all-genre), the vulnerable track finds a man pleading for redemption and rescue from his past mistakes. Following the album’s previous chart-toppers, like the beautifully crafted “I Am Not Okay” and the fiery “Liar” that dominated the country radio chart for six-straight weeks, the spurring “Heart of Stone” was written by Jelly with Zach Crowell, Blake Pendergrass and Shy Carter.

Currently nominated at this year’s CMA Awards on November 19 for his and Brandon Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” Jelly Roll performed the hard-hitting duet as a part of the first concert at St. Peter's Square, Grace for the World: The Live Event in Rome, which took place September 13 (Watch Below) and was co-directed by global visionary Pharrell Williams and legendary Maestro Andrea Bocelli. The concert took place as Jelly celebrated the closing weekend of Post Malone’s BIG ASS World Tour on September 14 in Portugal.

From headlining Stagecoach and making his acting debut in the CBS drama, Fire Country, to being the first-ever “Artist In Residence” on this past season of American Idol and headlining Music City Rodeo - Nashville's very first PRCA Rodeo - in May, to opening his Goodnight Nashville Bar on Broadway in the heart of Nashville, the genre-defying phenomenon has had a busy 2025 to say the least.

Next up, he’s a 3x nominee at the Dove Awards airing this Friday, October 10 on TBN, as “Hard Fought Hallelujah” is up for Song of the Year, Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year, and Short Form Music Video of the Year (Performance).

Last month, Aldean sat down with Armchair Expert to tease the release of new music from his upcoming project, his early career beginnings and career highs and lows, including reaching 30 number ones at country radio earlier this year, joining an elite class of entertainers who have logged 30+ number one hits throughout their career including George Strait, Tim McGraw, Ronnie Milsap, Merle Haggard, and Alan Jackson.

DREW BALDRIDGE’S “CALL ME IF YOU GET ONE” OUT NOW

September 30, 2025

Chart-topping singer-songwriter Drew Baldridge released his nostalgic new song, “Call Me If You Get One,” via Lyric Ridge Records/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. The track, written by Brian Fuller, Michael Lotten and Jordan Walker is now available HERE.

Rooted in Baldridge’s personal brand of Farm, Faith and Family, “Call Me If You Get One” draws inspiration mirrored in his own upbringing in southern Illinois. Growing up, Baldridge’s dad and grandpa would always say, “Call me if you get one,” whenever one of them would go hunting. Now, as a father himself, Baldridge looks forward to passing that tradition down to his son.

More than just a hunting story, the song captures the timeless bonds between generations and the emotions tied to cherished memories in the great outdoors. With heartfelt lyrics and Baldridge’s signature warmth, “Call Me If You Get One” is a reminder of the simple yet powerful ways family traditions carry forward through love and legacy.

“This song is really special to me,” says Baldridge. “It’s about those little things my dad and grandpa used to say that stuck with me. Now, I get to share those same memories and traditions with my son, and that means the world.”

To celebrate the release, Baldridge has teamed up with Rural King to highlight their shared values of family, tradition, and the outdoors. Fans who pre-save/add “Call Me If You Get One” with Spotify and Apple Music will be entered to win an exclusive Rural King prize bundle featuring hunting gear and outdoor essentials.

“Call Me If You Get One” joins recent releases “Deserve Her” and “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts, expanding Baldridge’s growing catalog of new music as he continues writing and recording for an upcoming full-length project. Ahead of this week’s new release, he will perform at the NSAI Awards on Tuesday, September 23, highlighting his talents as both a performer and songwriter. Baldridge recently wrapped back-to-back tours with Cody Johnson and Bailey Zimmerman, and this fall he will join Jelly Roll and Shaboozey on the Down Under Tour 2025 before launching his own Country Born Tour across the UK and Europe.

September 28, 2025

Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan are teaming up to play Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia on April 25, 2026. The longtime friends and Georgia natives joined SEC Nation today to make the announcement in person from Georgia’s campus, ahead of tonight’s Georgia Bulldogs vs Alabama Crimson Tide game. Watch HERE.

Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales: Monday, September 29, 10AM local time through Thursday, October 2 at 10PM local time.

Bryan and Aldean first rocked Sanford Stadium in 2013 as part of Aldean’s Night Train tour, which marked the one and only concert event ever to be held in the venue. They are set to return and headline the all-star line-up, which also includes current ACM nominee Zach Top and Platinum-selling singer and Georgia native Lauren Alaina as well as DJ Rock and Dee Jay Silver, for the first “Live Between the Hedges” Concert Series Presented by Pruitt Health on April 25, 2026, on Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium.

"Playing Sanford Stadium in 2013 was one of the biggest highlights of my career,” shared Aldean. “I couldn’t be more excited to co-headline it this time with my buddy Luke Bryan. Luke and I have talked for years about wanting to do another show in Athens, and finally the stars have aligned for us to be able to do it. This one’s gonna be something people haven’t seen before…..WE PROMISE YA!"

“Growing up going to Sanford Stadium was always a highlight of the year for me, and I can’t believe I get to go back as a co-headliner with one of my best friends and play this iconic place,” said Bryan. “Aldean and I have been talking about putting on a unique show together for a few years and to be able to do that in our home turf is incredible. I am so grateful to continue to have these opportunities and to keep being able to have so much fun at this life. This is going to be way up there on the list for me!”

Aldean, a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum award winning entertainer, is one of country music’s most successful touring powerhouses. With 30 No. 1 singles, nearly 20 billion streams, and over 20 million albums sold, Aldean has been one of the premier faces of country music over the last decade. Since his 2005 self-titled debut, Aldean has carved out a reputation for delivering hard-hitting anthems that blend small-town storytelling with stadium-powered energy. He’s remained a steadfast and defining voice, with a fanbase that spans generations and continues to grow. Currently finalizing new music, he recently released his new single, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as the follow up to his 30th career #1 hit.

Since his career began in 2007, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales and more than 48 million track sales worldwide with 32 #1 singles.

He has received more than 50 music awards including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian and anACM Lifting Lives Award honor for his devotion to improving lives through the power of music. In 2026, Luke returns to the judge’s desk alongside Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood for his ninth season on ABC’s American Idol.

“As we worked on bringing concerts back to Sanford Stadium, it was important that we find a group with Georgia roots,” J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks said. “We have always had a strong partnership with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan and appreciate their passion for their home state and this university. Zach Top and Lauren Alaina are the perfect complement to what will be a fun night in Athens.”

“We could not be more excited to partner with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan to bring concerts back to Sanford Stadium. Their deep passion for the University of Georgia and their enthusiasm to help us relaunch this concert series speaks volumes to their commitment to this state,” said Georgia Associate Athletic Director Tanner Stines. “We are also excited to welcome Zach Top and Lauren Alaina – two of the best up-and-coming artists today. This collaboration is a celebration of music, tradition, and the incredible energy that defines Bulldog Nation.”

DUSTIN LYNCH AND MC4D ARE COMING “HOME TO YOU” — OUT NOW

September 26, 2025

Dustin Lynch has already secured his place as one of country’s modern hitmakers with 10 #1s, billions of streams, and a career built on headlining tour anthems. But rather than slowing down, he is teaming up with twin-brother folktronica duo MC4D to break new ground with “Home To You,” a new release penned by Lynch, Matt & Chris Drake (of MC4D), Brandon Davis, and Trent Tomlinson that fuses country grit with the pulse of the global nightlife scene. Listen Below.

“I’m fired up to finally drop ‘Home To You’ with MC4D,” shares Lynch. “We’ve been testing it out in the club sets day and night, and it’s been electric — jumping into this new lane has awakened a whole new part of my soul. Getting to create and collaborate in new ways this far into my career has been some of the most fun and fulfilling music-making I’ve ever done. Can’t wait for y’all to feel this one when it hits.”

“We’ve looked up to Dustin and his music for so long, and being able to do a song with him has been an incredible experience,” adds MC4D. “He’s pioneering such a unique lane when it comes to his country-EDM project, and we’re so grateful for the energy and excitement that he’s brought to this song. ‘Home To You’ feels like the perfect mix of Dustin’s hit country sound and our melodic EDM project, and stylistically we feel it really stands apart in the developing country crossover landscape. It reminds us of the timeless country/Americana collaborations of Avicii and Kygo, and we can’t wait to see the song connect with dance and country fans alike.”

Dustin’s Wynn Las Vegas residency made history as the first country headliner on the Strip’s nightlife stage, introducing his sound to club culture without compromise. His Club Set Remixes EP, released this summer, reimagined his chart-toppers for the dancefloor, featuring electrified reworks of fan favorites like “Small Town Boy,” “Seein’ Red,” “Thinking ’Bout You,” “Stars Like Confetti,” and his latest country radio single “Easy To Love,” the most added song at country radio the week of release.

And that’s not all. Lynch is not borrowing shine or testing a trend, he is expanding the reach of his music with authenticity and vision. Proven through collaborations with MOONLGHT, MC4D, and Dirty Audio—and most recently with producer MAKJ and singer/artist Bryce Vine on “Happy Hour,” a breezy, feel-good fusion of electronic dance and country flair that garnered millions of streams within its first month—Lynch continues to prove his music connects anywhere.

From small-town backroads to global stages and DJ booths, Dustin is proving country music impacts everywhere the party is. Dustin will kick off his TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR with Scotty McCreery this fall. He is also in the middle of his historic Wynn Nightlife Las Vegas Residency, where his club sets blur genre lines and draw dance fans and country diehards alike.

ABOUT DUSTIN LYNCH:
Dustin Lynch has “built one of the most consistent recording careers in modern country music” (Billboard), achieving 10 #1s; four Top 5 albums; MULTI-PLATINUM status with 10 RIAA-certified singles; and tallying over 5 BILLION cumulative global streams. Rolling out new music beginning with the chill summer jam “Easy To Love,” Dustin marked his milestone 10th #1 with “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” from his sixth studio album Killed The Cowboy (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville). The follow-up to Blue In The Sky, which delivered the history-making 2X PLATINUM, six-week #1 “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter)”—the most-played song at Country radio in 2022, landing at #1 on Mediabase and #2 on the Billboard Year-End Country Airplay charts—also featured hits #1 “Stars Like Confetti” and “Party Mode.” Co-headlining the TWO FOR THE ROAD TOUR with Scotty McCreery this fall, Lynch has headlined packed venues to sold-out crowds like his latest Killed The Cowboy Tour, in addition to touring with country’s biggest names including Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley, and Blake Shelton. Hosting his see-and-be-seen pool parties for the last decade, Lynch marks Wynn Nightlife’s first-ever country music artist residency in Las Vegas with his 2025 club set. Most recently, he expanded his sound with the Club Set Remixes EP—a genre-blending project featuring high-energy dance remixes of his biggest hits by top DJs including MOONLGHT and MC4D. With his latest release, Lynch unveils his first EDM original, “Home To You,” a track with MC4D that carries his unmistakable country undertone into the global dance scene. Since his PLATINUM breakout “Cowboys and Angels” in 2012, the Tennessee native has earned industry recognition as a Grand Ole Opry member, as well as high-profile nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and CMT Music Awards.

COLIN STOUGH THROWS DOWN "20 BUCKS" WITH EDGY NEW RELEASE AVAILABLE NOW

September 20, 2025

19 Recordings/BMG Nashville artist Colin Stough turns up the volume on his Southern rock-country edge with the release of “20 Bucks,” out now. Listen Below. Bold and uncompromising, the Mississippi native—who rose to national recognition as a Top 5 finalist on ABC’s American Idol in 2023 and has amassed over 80 million streams—delivers a powerful performance marked by gritty vocals and a rebellious swagger.

"’20 Bucks’ is that moment when you’re down on your luck, she’s gone with another man, money’s tight—but you’re still out here trying to have a good time,” shares Stough.

Raw, unflinching, and soaked in Southern grit, “20 Bucks” finds Colin Stough channeling heartbreak into an edgy anthem. Penned by Stough, along with Kevin Monahan and Will Pattat, and produced by James LeBlanc and Phillip White, the biting honesty of the track captures the sting of betrayal, the temptation of vices, and the struggle of scraping by with little more than twenty dollars to ease the pain. Fueled by distorted guitars, swagger, and Stough’s unapologetically rough-edged vocals, “20 Bucks” turns heartache into a battle cry for anyone who’s ever been cheated on, left behind, or pushed to their breaking point.

About Colin Stough

Born and raised on the Mississippi-Alabama line, 21-year-old Colin Stough was brought up on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty, and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age 8, later trading in his prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic — one he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride: a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville, and breakout songs like “Sober,” “'Til The Day One Does,” and 2025’s hard-edged anthem, “White Trash.”

With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of over 800k across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home offer a no-frills portrait of a young man navigating life with Southern grit, and his latest song, “20 Bucks,” keeps with the no-holds-barred theme. On the road, he’s opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White, and Kidd G, and is continuing to build his live show through 2025. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn’t chasing trends — he’s telling the underdog’s truth, one song at a time.

Written by Bobby Pinson, Cam Newby, and Ian Christian and produced by Trent Willmon, Milligan hand-picked this song as it resonates with his lifestyle as a “tumbleweed” being blown around the world playing 300+ shows over the past 3 years. The track gives a loving nod to those that keep him grounded through the business, being the “wind” that guides him.

The song arrives on the second night Milligan will be opening for Lainey Wilson on her “Whirlwind World Tour” at Dickies Arena in his hometown of Ft. Worth, TX. Earlier this week, Milligan announced his very own headlining show at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, TN on Tuesday, November 11th. Grab your tickets on his website at drakemilligan.com.

About Drake Milligan:

Drake Milligan burst onto the national music stage entering the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart at #5 after dominating iTunes with his debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth, charting back-to-back #1 hits on the iTunes Country Songs Chart, #1 on iTunes All-Genre Chart and reclaimed the #1 spot on iTunes Country Albums Chart, all while simultaneously holding positions #1, #2, #3 and #5 on iTunes Country Video Chart. In the UK, Milligan’s debut album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Official Country Artists Albums Chart. A student of classic Country music with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Fort Worth, Texas native is an electrifying entertainer who cites George Strait and Elvis Presley – the King of Country and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – as musical heroes, and his unique twist of traditional Country has been embraced by fans, peers and the media alike. Milligan has performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach and CMA Music Festival, and earned high praise from People, BBC, USA Today, Parade, American Songwriter, CMT.com, Billboard, ET, Access Hollywood, Cosmopolitan, Cowgirl Magazine and Taste of Country. Following his Dallas/Fort Worth debut – named “One of the Best Country Albums of 2022” by Billboard and others – Milligan uncorked a Canadian Country Radio #1 in 2023 (“Honky Tonkin’ About” with The Reklaws) and garnered 5 million views in just a few months with “Cowgirl For Christmas.” His latest EP release titled, Jukebox Songs, features four all new tracks and was released in 2024, with hit single “I Got A Problem” earning #1 on the Australian Country Radio charts. The acclaimed “Artist to Watch” (CMT, Pandora, etc.) also returned to his primetime TV roots for a performance on the America’s Got Talent spin-off show, America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League and hit the road alongside Cody Johnson on his 2024 U.S. arena tour. With over 230M streams worldwide, Milligan has spent 2025 on his own headlining tour and opening for Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton. Set to release an all-new song, “Tumbleweed," on September 19th, Milligan is preparing for his next chapter.

Billboard-charting singer/songwriter and Pandora “2025 Artist to Watch: Country” Alexandra Kay keeps the anticipation surging over her sophomore album, Second Wind, out October 24, with the release of “What He Does.” Available today, the soul-affirming ballad about the power of selfless love is one of the most breathtaking and emotionally radiant tracks of her career.

Woven with golden honesty and infused with her timeless vocals, the CMT 2025 Next Women of Country member proves her brilliant storytelling is "custom-made for the country music genre" (People).

Featured on her upcoming album Second Wind, the flawless new gem follows a string of standout releases, including the powerhouse anthem “Straight For The Heart,” “Feminine Energy,” “The Last,” and “Cupid’s A Cowgirl.”

Coming up, the compelling entertainer will take the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) stage with Dallas Smith tomorrow (9/13) to perform their hit single “How Do You Miss Me” that’s currently Top 5 at Canadian country radio. Following the CCMAs, the electrifying globetrotter - who just returned from her sold-out European Tour - immediately heads out on her Second Wind: The Tour that is also selling out fast.

Born from the wreckage of a divorce, her debut was survival in real time, and although heartbreak still lingers, it no longer leads.

After a milestone year that included her Grand Ole Opry debut, her first national TV performance on the TODAY Show, recognition as a “2025 Artist to Watch” by the Recording Academy/GRAMMY and Amazon Music and a Riser of the Month honor from Apple Music in addition to being named to CMT’s Next Women of Country: Class of 2025, Lanie Gardner today releases her highly anticipated sophomore album, Faded Polaroids, via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Listen to the album HERE.

The 18-track project is a bold, deeply personal collection produced by Oscar Charles, Jonathan Singleton, Chris Ganoudis, Katie Cecil, Carlo Colasacco, Mick Fleetwood, Ryan McMahon, and Don Miggs. Expanding on the raw honesty of her 2024 debut A Songwriter’s Diary, Faded Polaroids offers a sonic scrapbook of self-discovery, family roots, romantic twists, and personal healing. Gardner blends country storytelling with indie-rock grit, small-town pop, and boundless emotion, creating a sound that is wholly her own.

The album features the nostalgic and emotionally charged title track, “Faded Polaroids,” alongside fan favorites “High Divin,” the rootsy anthem “Love You Like Appalachia,” the emotionally charged “Concrete Cowboy,” and the windows-down groove of “Takin’ The Slow Ride.”

“Faded Polaroids is like opening a box of old photos — some crisp, some faded with time,” shares Gardner. “It’s a reminder that the simple things matter most, and every moment shapes who you become. I wanted this album to feel unfiltered and true.”

This release follows Gardner’s Polaroids EP earlier this summer, which included standouts “Buzzkill” and “Hold Your Horses.” Already named a SiriusXM Highway Find, Gardner is establishing herself as one of country’s most exciting breakout artists.

Gardner continues to earn praise and high-profile collaborations across the Country music landscape. Her recent duet “What Could Go Right” with Thomas Rhett remains a fixture on top country streaming playlists and recently hit #1 on SiriusXM, while her heartfelt team-up with Warren Zeiders on “Loving in Letting Go” showcases her emotional depth and vocal power.

Gardner will bring Faded Polaroids to life on the road this summer and fall, supporting Gavin Adcock on select stops as well as Thomas Rhett at an upcoming stop on his tour. Visit laniegardnermusic.com for ticket information.
