Morgan Wallen Blocks Three Country Legends From A New No. 1 Smash
Morgan Wallen's new promotional single 'Superman' earns the singer yet another quick win on the Billboard charts this week. The tune was the final track to be shared from his album I'm the Problem before the project appeared in full and fans could buy and stream the complete set. Excitement around the lengthy studio effort – I'm the Problem features 37 songs – paired with Wallen's immense popularity, ensured that the track opens in the top spot on a pair of genre-specific rankings in America. In one case, it blocks three of the most beloved stars in country music from securing another champion. 'Superman' launches atop both the Country Digital Song Sales and Country Streaming Songs charts. On the former tally, which looks only at pure purchases of individual tunes in the style, Wallen beats 'Trailblazer,' the new collaboration between Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, and Lainey Wilson. That track is forced to settle for second place as it arrives. According to Luminate, 'Superman' sold 4,000 copies in its first tracking frame. 'Trailblazer' managed a little less than 3,200. So, the competition wasn't very close between the two. It's worth noting that 'Trailblazer' was released midweek instead of on Friday, when the tracking period begins. The three women performed it at the Academy of Country Music Awards, which McEntire also hosted. The cut arrived on streaming sites and download platforms like iTunes and Amazon just before the trio premiered it live on Sunday, days after 'Superman' was released. Wallen collects his seventeenth No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart with 'Superman.' McEntire, Lambert, and Wilson have all reached the summit before, but 'Trailblazer' would have been an important win to add to their discographies. Among the three, Lambert claims the most champions, with three. Wilson has scored a pair, and McEntire — despite her lengthy career — has only reached the summit once. Amazingly, between McEntire, Lambert, and Wilson, the trio has only nabbed half a dozen No. 1s on the Country Digital Song Sales chart. Wallen almost triples that sum on his own. 'Superman' gives Wallen his forty-third top 10 on the tally. That's just two more than the three trailblazing female singers have collectively scored.

Country singer Kane Brown shows off dramatic fitness transformation in viral before and after photos
Kane Brown is proving he is taking his fitness seriously. The 31-year-old country singer turned heads after he shared before and after photos of his dramatic body transformation on social media. 'From April 1st on the (left) until today (right) I've been super dedicated to fitness and health. I would love others to come on this journey with me,' Brown wrote in his caption on Instagram next to a muscle and 100 emojis. In the side-by-side shirtless photos, Brown showed off his body tattoos and toned abs as a result of his dedicated fitness. While the Miles On It singer did not reveal his exact workout routine or diet, Brown invited his fans to join him in his health journey. 'That's wild in less than two months! Congrats!' one fan wrote in the comments section. Another comment read, 'I've been trying to hype myself up to start running again. Getting started is the hardest part. Congrats on your progress!!' 'Such motivation, I needed this reminder of what discipline and consistency looks like. What are some of your biggest tips? As I start my fitness journey to getting in the best shape of my life,' a fan asked. The father-of-three is not the only country singer who has been dedicated to his fitness. Country music star Jelly Roll recently admitted the biggest challenge he faced during his weight-loss journey after he shed nearly 90kg. 'Food, man,' Jelly Roll told Fox News Digital at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards. For the country star, the weight loss was not just about his fitness, but a constant struggle with his relationship with food. 'If you're really battling obesity, you got to start at the dinner table, man. The walking's great, all the other stuff's great, but you got to fight that addiction at the dinner table,' he said. Jelly Roll has been consistent in his efforts to lose weight, confessing he was addicted to food in the same way that he was previously addicted to drugs. 'The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I've looked at food for the last 39 years,' he told People last year. 'I've never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it's like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.' In October 2024, the Son of a Sinner singer shared a video on Instagram, where his trainer noted that he had reached a major milestone in his weight-loss journey. 'We just passed the halfway point of the tour, and Jelly's been crushing it,' his trainer said. 'We're either walking [around] the arena, playing basketball, boxing. He just surpassed his 100-pound (45kg) weight loss.'

"I am struggling to walk around the carpet because I have built so many relationships in this genre," he said. "I mean, I'm hugging camera guys… I am looking at Cody Johnson… publishers… the Dallas station that gave me one of my first interviews ever on a radio station… I'm overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed, to be honest." WATCH: JELLY ROLL ON HOW THE COUNTRY MUSIC COMMUNITY HAS CHANGED HIS LIFE "You know, I'll give you perspective… I'm talkin' too much, but it's the truth. I've stayed at the same hotel all three ACMs. And it has been interesting to just watch how much just staying at that hotel has changed for me… how many more friends come by," Jelly Roll said. "I remember last year, me and Jason Aldean pretty much became friends by staying next to each other and just hung out all night," he said. The 60th annual award show was streamed live on Amazon Prime Video from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Jelly Roll and wife Bunnie Xo posed for photos on the red carpet. Jelly Roll was in a Western-inspired suit, and his wife stunned in a brown and black lace floor-length gown.
