Calling in some heavy hitters. After years of being one of the most underrated artists in the mainstream, the last two years have been nothing short of a whirlwind for Riley Green. Though you can attribute some of that to Ella Langley, thanks to the success of their monster collaborations, “you look like you love me” and “Don’t Mind If I Do,” the Alabama native has launched himself into superstardom pretty handily on his own. Even ignoring “you look like you love me’s” massive success, Green has now scored back-to-back #1 singles on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with the aforementioned “Don’t Mind If I Do” and his steamy, viral track, “Worst Way.” In case you were wondering just how rare that feat is, “Worst Way” became just the 39th song in the chart’s history (and the second in 13 years) to go #1 solely written by the artist who recorded the track. With “Don’t Mind If I Do” also going #1 just six months later, Green became the first artist since Taylor Swift to score back-to-back solo-written #1 hits on the chart. At the end of May, the Alabama native would drop “Think As You Drunk,” which included a sample of Toby Keith’s 2005  hit, “As Good As I Once Was.” With the release of the new single, he’d also announce his fourth studio album, That’s Just Me, which releases Friday, September 18th. View this post on Instagram Upon the announcement, the only tracks confirmed were released songs such as “My Way,” the aforementioned “Think As You Drunk” and last week’s “Go Again” with Hannah McFarland. And then earlier this month, the full tracklist was leaked online, however his PR team quickly tried to stop the spread, claiming that it was not an accurate tracklist. With that being said, Riley has been slowly rolling out the tracklist every few days via his Instagram story, along with snippets of different unreleased songs, and so far it seems to line up perfectly with the leaked tracklist that was originally published: Just confirmed last night, Green will be calling upon none other than Brooks & Dunn for the 13th track, “Pave All Them Dirt Roads,” which will mark their first new feature since their appearance on Cody Johnson’s “Long Live Country Music” back in 2023. Additionally, the red-hot traditionalist, Jake Worthington, will appear on “Well Well Whiskey,” which was confirmed last week. As for Brooks & Dunn’s feature on “Pave All Them Dirt Roads,” the snippet confirms that it will feature the legendary duo appearing to sing lines from their smash hit, “Red Dirt Road,” on the track. Alabama’s Randy Owen will also appear on the album. Green will also be dropping a plethora of new songs teased on social media over the past few months, including the likes of “Imagine That” and “P.O.S.,” which caused quite a stir online when he teased it immediately after Megan Moroney released her third studio album, Cloud 9, given the fact that the two have been at the center of dating rumors over the years and all but confirmed “Who Hurt You?” was about him recently. Finally, previously released tracks like “Bartender In Destin,” which was released acoustically on Green’s 2025 Midtown Sessions EP, will appear on the record and finally get a fully-produced version. That’s Just Me is out everywhere on Friday, September 18th. That’s Just Me Tracklist “My Way” “That’s Just Me” “Don’t Come Any Closer” “Go Again” (feat. Hannah McFarland) “Imagine That” “Got That From You” “Bartender In Destin” “Beach Happy” “Think As You Drunk” “Well Well Whiskey” (feat.

Chief came out 15 years ago? Where does all the time go, eh? It’s hard to believe Eric Church’s breakout album, Chief, is already celebrating it’s 15th birthday. The album, which was released on July 26, 2011, is widely considered to be Church’s best… and is often talked about as one of the greatest country records of all time. After all, it did introduce many in the country music world to the great Eric Church. And it’s crazy to think it’s already been a decade and a half since that moment. The album came at a pivotal time in Church’s career, after only seeing moderate success from his first two albums Sinners Like Me and Carolina. Those albums (somehow) produced no #1 hits, and it was only until Church convinced his label to release “Smoke a Little Smoke” as a single did he finally get the creative latitude to finally create an album like Chief. It’s no stretch to say the album changed his life, becoming the top album in the WORLD at the time and launching hits like “Springsteen” and “Drink in My Hand,” which are still some of his biggest hits – and most requested songs – to date. It also came at a time when the sound of country music was changing from the radio-friendly pop of the ’90s to the grittier, rock-heavy sound embraced by Church – and there’s no doubt that was in large part to the groundbreaking album from Church. Putting out Chief obviously changed Eric Church’s life, and I’d venture to say that it changed a lot of country music fan’s lives as well. It certainly had an impact with the masses, considering it wasn’t even a year later that Chief was certified triple Platinum by the RIAA in June of 2012. The album was nominated for Best Country Album at the 54th Grammy Awards, and took home Album of the Year honors at both the ACM and CMA Awards. It even inspired the name of Church’s downtown Nashville bar Chief’s, which is one of the only artist-owned bars in Nashville worth going to. There was reason to celebrate back then, and there’s reason to celebrate now. We’ve had the opportunity to cue up songs like “Creepin,” “Homeboy,” and “Like Jesus Does” for close to two decades. Shoutout to Eric Church for making that possible, and continuing to be one of the best in the business all these years later. The country superstar took a moment to reflect on 15 years of Chief with this post below: From "Drink In My Hand" to "Springsteen" and everything in between… Celebrating 15 years of the Chief album today! pic.twitter.com/zGQs7z12dt — Eric Church (@ericchurch) July 26, 2026 Yeah, if you need me for the rest of the day, I’ll be listening to Chief on repeat. When fans saw the video commemorating Chief reaching the 13 year mark, they flooded the replies underneath the post with support, and short anecdotes about how much the album means to them: Just re listened to that whole album a week ago.
