The country group zooms 40-1 thanks to the arrival of its new album. Plus, moves for Josh Groban, David Guetta, Rachel Platten and Tori Kelly.

The past few months have been a whirlwind for new country artist Denny Strickland, who has been busy promoting his debut single, "Swerve On."

Last month, the Johnny Cash Museum in downtown Nashville celebrated its second year of operation. According to founder Bill Miller, it has been an absolute blur.

The guitar solo is under siege on country radio, and even the artists whose identities are tied to their in-concert musicianship are required to pick their spots to step out on their recordings if they expect them to get played.

The country singer Chris Stapleton releases a new album, 'Traveller,' tomorrow (May 5). It's Stapleton's solo debut at age 37, but you've been hearing him for years without knowing it: as a Nashville songwriter, he's written songs for nearly every big name in country music.

Mike Dungan, the head of Nashville's top label, speaks with Billboard on breaking Kacey Musgraves, the future of bro country and how much a hit costs these days.

Hailing from Southwest Louisiana, Feufollet is a collective melting pot of Cajun, honky-tonk and string music that also incorporates country and rock and roll sounds as well.

Though Chris Stapleton has had undeniable success as a songwriter the past few years with hits like Kenny Chesney's "Never Wanted Nothing More" and Luke Bryan's "Drink a Beer" to his credit, he can always count on getting one of his compositions heard at 12 midnight central time each weekday morning. That's when The All-Nighter With Marcia Campbell hits the airwaves on WSM-AM 650. One of America's most popular truck-driving shows, Stapleton co-wrote the theme song of the show, "All-Nighter Comin'."

The band notches its second No. 1 with "Girl Crush," driven in part by misguided media attention.
