2020 ACM Awards – Full List of Winners

/in , /by

For the first time in the show’s history, the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards took place tonight (Sept 16.) live from Nashville. The annual show honors the greats of country music and although this year’s special event looked a little different, it certainly did not disappoint.

Originally slated to take place last April in Las Vegas, it was postponed until September, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of having the award show in one location, it aired with epic performances from three different historic iconic Nashville locations: the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium, and the Bluebird Cafe.

This year a new location also meant a new host. Keith Urban hosted for the first time and did an incredible job in his new role following in Reba McEntire’s footsteps. Urban brought home the biggest award of the show last year, the ACM Entertainer of the Year, and is a 15-time ACM Award winner.

The show included epic performances from the biggest names in country music, including Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett & Jon Pardi, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton featuring Gwen Stefani, Trisha Yearwood, and so many more.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night came with the reveal of the coveted Entertainer of the Year award. Up for the honor were Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, and Thomas Rhett. Resulting in a tie, for the first time ever, Carrie Underwood & Thomas Rhett ultimately took home the award!

Check out the list below for all of the night’s winners and follow along on Instagram, @NYCountrySwag for more special moments from the show.

Mitchell Tenpenny Flawlessly Covers Luke Combs’ “When It Rains It Pours”

/in , , /by
Mitchell Tenpenny Luke Combs

In this weird world without live music, we have been living for the demos and the covers that country music artists have been posting on their social media platforms. Just today, one of our favorites, Mitchell Tenpenny surprised fans with an Instagram clip of him jamming to Luke Combs’ smash hit “When It Rains It Pours”.

Armed with the spot-on caption “There’s a reason they still play this song on the radio @lukecombs because it’s *Fire emoji*,” M10 gives his perfect rendition of the killer tune. True to his distinct vocals, the singer-songwriter manages to turn the track into one that fits his wheelhouse and would fit with all his other jams. We especially love that the singer enjoys singing country music in his car because who doesn’t?!

While Luke Combs continues to break his own records in true superstar fashion, Tenpenny is taking the country world by storm in his own right. The singer already has one number one under his belt with his debut single “Drunk Me” and his new jam, “Broken Up” is headed to country radio next. The sky’s the limit for both these stellar country artists.

As for Combs, don’t miss the upcoming release of his deluxe album, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, out October 23rd. Until we can see Combs or Tenpenny in person, we hope they will continue to post covers and new demos on social media for our amusement.

Fans can join our Weekly Round-Up e-newsletter here, for the latest in country music and more news about future Mitchell Tenpenny / Luke Combs releases.

Luke Combs Breaks His Own Record with 9th Consecutive Number 1

/in , /by

Luke Combs Lovin' On You

If there is one thing that country music fans across the genre can agree on, it is Luke Combs. The bonafide superstar can truly do no wrong. With just two albums under his belt, Combs has solidified himself as one of the best in the genre.

Combs continues to break his own records, landing his 9th consecutive number 1 single with “Lovin’ On You” on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. In just 12 weeks, the track made it’s way to the top spot, adding another record to Combs list, becoming the fastest climbing single. This marks the singer-songwriter’s fourth number one track from his newest record What You See Is What You Get. Former hit singles “Beer Never Broke My Heart”, “Even Though I’m Leaving” and “Does To Me” found their way to the top.

“Lovin’ On You” was written by Combs with Ray Fulcher, Thomas Archer and James McNair, and was a fan-favorite almost instantly. Fulcher has had a hand in writing hits for Combs before, including “When It Rains It Pours” and “Even Though I’m Leaving.” Check out some of his own songs and his rendition of Combs 8th number one, “Does To Me”, which he also co-wrote, in our Swag Session below.

We knew Combs was special ever since 2017 when we named him one of our 2017 Artists to Watch, shortly after seeing him perform at his first New York City show ever. Take a look back at the show here.

There’s truly no stopping the hitmaker, who was also recently nominated for CMA Entertainer of the Year just two years after taking home the award for Best New Artist. Additionally, Combs announced he will be releasing a deluxe album, retitled What You See Ain’t Always What You Get this October. As Combs continues to break the mold, we anticipate that there are even bigger things on the horizon for him!

To keep up with Luke Combs, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
