A massive 2026 tour incoming… Today, Megan Moroney started teasing a headlining 2026 tour, which she had help from fans in revealing some of the dates, as they all shared tour stops that were printed on different puzzles they were mailed and put together to share on social media. I’m assuming the tour is named for her forthcoming album Cloud 9, which is slated to drop on February 20th, 2026, and will include stops in Chicago, Charlotte, Tampa, Philadelphia and plenty of other cities, I’m sure, which have yet to be announced. Here’s a look at some of Megan’s reposts on X: CHICAGO IS WAITING FOR YOU MEG 9⃣ so happy to be a part of this project, love u more pic.twitter.com/5W2FNfD4vJ — stina (@stinachuray26) December 3, 2025 PHILLY IS READY TO BE ON CLOUD NINEEEE pic.twitter.com/LeFG81eugb — hanna is on cloud 9 (@hansgoldrush) December 3, 2025 Looks like I’ll be seeing the queen in Queen City again!

This next year is shaping up to be even bigger, and Moroney says she can’t wait to start a new chapter in her music career, and adds that these songs were written by the “strongest, most confident version” of her: “I am so excited for my fans and I to dive into this new world of Cloud 9 together. Similar to the first two albums, it’s all written about honest, personal experiences, but these songs were written by the strongest, most confident version of myself I’ve ever been. My feet feel firmly planted in my artistry and it was fun to play around sonically, while still sticking to my roots of what my fans and I love. Cloud 9 is a state of mind, and I have no doubt this will be the best chapter yet.” She’s also transitioning to a new color scheme, which will be all pink everything, and I’m here for it: View this post on Instagram The announcement post on Instagram also showed the back of the album, though all of the songs were blurred out except for already-released singles  “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things,” in addition to the title track “Cloud 9.” If you count the rows, it looks like there will be 15 songs in total, and in all likelihood, there will be at least one or two collaborators on there as well. Fans have speculated it might be Ed Sheeran or Kacey Musgraves, but hopefully we’ll find out for sure sooner rather than later. Megan’s previously-released songs “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things” will also be included on the tracklist. Stay tuned… “6 Months Later” “Beautiful Things” The post Megan Moroney Sends Puzzles To Fans Revealing Locations For ‘Cloud 9’ Arena Tour first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Not too many surprises here. With December officially in full swing, that means it’s officially time for end-of-the-year lists, rankings, recaps and the like. While Apple got the party stared early yesterday dropping their Apple Music Replay for 2025, Spotify joined in on the fun this morning, finally releasing their ever-popular, “Spotify Wrapped,” recap, which not only allows users to see their most-played artists, albums and songs throughout the year but also the national and global leaders among all of the app’s listener’s worldwide. In the meantime, however, Billboard has also began dropping their year-end charts, which tally the top performers across their dozens of different charts in different genres both globally and in the U.S. In case you missed it, Billboard got things started on Monday, December 1st, with the release of their Top Rock & Alternative Songs and Albums of 2025 chart, which proved to be quite baffling given the fact that country music’s very own, Zach Bryan, along with the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Noah Kahan dominated the Albums list. Today, Billboard released their year-end charts for country music, and, quite frankly, it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect. Before I dive into the chart itself and the artists/albums present on the list, I think it’s important to note that this is NOT a subjective (or editorial) ranking. Billboard’s year-end charts are not based on any subjective measurement such as quality, impact or any other personal measurement. Instead, it is simply derived from data from their weekly charts, which includes overall sales, the length of time spent on the charts, peak positions and more from the time frame of October 26, 2024 to October 18, 2025. A brief description from Billboard is as follows: “Billboard’s year-end music charts represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts from Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025. Rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the entries appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology detail, and the October-October time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.” Without further ado, let’s dive into the charts. To absolutely no one’s surprise, Morgan Wallen absolutely dominated the Hot Country Songs chart, owning six of the Top 10 spots and four of the Top 5 spots respectively. Of course, this includes the likes of his pair of all-genre Hot 100 #1 hits, “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone and “What I Want” with Tate McRae. Also appearing on the list is “Love Somebody,” “I’m The Problem,” “Just In Case” and “I Got Better.” Second to the “Whiskey Glasses” singer is Shaboozey, who captured the #1 spot for the second year in a row with his smash hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” along with a #6 spot with “Good News.” Serving as a light at the end of the tunnel, reigning CMA New Artist of the Year and to many, the current savior of traditional country music, Zach Top, rounds out the list at #10 with his 2024 breakout hit, “I Never Lie,” which you can unfortunately argue is the only true country song present on this list. View this post on Instagram Moving onto the Top Country Albums chart, a similar theme arises. Not only did I’m The Problem complete the trifecta of being the most streamed album on Apple Music and Spotify in the U.S., it also took it’s 28-straight weeks atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (along with 12 non-consecutive weeks atop the all-genre Billboard 200) straight to being crowned the #1 country album of the year. It doesn’t stop there for Wallen, however. His last two efforts, 2023’s One Thing At A Time and 2021’s Dangerous: The Double Album top the list as well, giving the “Lies Lies Lies” singer complete control of the Top 3 Country Albums of 2025. Rivaling Wallen, at least in quantity, is unsurprisingly Zach Bryan, who charted his last three albums, The Great American Bar Scene, Zach Bryan and American Heartbreak inside the Top 10 at #7-9. Interestingly, these three projects are the same ones that also landed him on Billboard’s aforementioned Top Rock & Alternative Albums of 2025 chart, all of which actually charted higher than their placements on the Top Country Albums collection. Rounding out the Top 10 are the likes of Post Malone’s monster country debut, F-1 Trillion, Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken, Shaboozey’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going and thankfully once again, Zach Top’s killer debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music. View this post on Instagram As previously mentioned, these year-end charts shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. It’s pretty apparent that Wallen rules any and all charts seemingly with an iron fist over the past few years. Similarly, Bryan’s consistency, both in streaming numbers and scoring crossover entries in both the all-genre and rock charts, make this collection pretty expected overall. Clearly, the highlight of both of these charts are obviously Zach Top sneaking in Top 10 entries on both the Top Country Albums and Hot Country Songs chart, something that should remain consistent over the following years given his current path to superstardom he’s currently on. And, of course, we’re just going to ignore the fact that BigXthaPlug and Bailey Zimmerman occupy the list. It’s for the better.

Really smooth, Kenny… Today, Kenny Chesney is the guest on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, where he talked about his new memoir “Heart Life Music,” in addition to performing “You and Tequila,” and he also talked about his first ever real rejection that gave him just a taste of what it’s like in the music industry. But he was actually still in college at East Tennessee State University, where he graduated from in 1990… Kenny recalled the first song he ever wrote, which was inspired by a “hot girl” he was sitting next to, ironically, in a persuasion class. He explained that he had been trying to get her attention all semester, and after he ran out of “east Tennessee charm,” he decided to try one more thing: write her a song. It’s actually an incredibly bold move, considering this was well before he had any sort of success as a musician, and like he says, it was his first song: “The first song I ever wrote, I was in college and ironically enough, I was taking a persuasion class, okay? And there was this, this hot girl sitting beside me. I was trying to persuade her all semester to pay attention to me on any level. I was out of jokes and I was out of East Tennessee charm, whatever I had, and so I had nothing. I said, ‘I’m gonna write her a song and see what happens,’ and it was back when you had to push play and record on the recorder. You know, it was one of those things.” But he failed to realize beforehand that the class he gave it to her at was on a Thursday, so he handed over the cassette, then had to wait four days to hear back from her. He got to class and realized the girl was “sitting as far back in the back corner from me as she possibly could”: “I wrote her a song, but I made the mistake of taking it to her on a Thursday, so I came to class, I just slid it over to her. It was on a little cassette, and I slid it over to her, and then I realized that I had to wait Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and then go back to that class on a Tuesday to get any kind of response.  All of a sudden, it’s Tuesday and I walk into class and I sat down and I realize that that girl is sitting as far back in the back corner from me as she possibly could.” Ice cold… I refuse to believe it was THAT bad… it actually sounds really sweet. Even if it wasn’t the best song he ever wrote, I think it’s an incredibly thoughtful gesture, though clearly, this girl was not interested… Stern put it this was: “She thought you were a total d***** bag for opening up your heart.” Chesney says that, looking back after 32 years in the music industry, that moment gave him his first taste of real rejection in the music industry, something many artist know about all too well, especially if you get to the point of selling out stadiums like he does now: “Knowing what I know now about the music business and me being in it for 32 years, it was my first taste of real rejection.” We absolutely MUST hear this song now. I’m sure it was pretty rough at the time, but it’s really funny to hear him talk about now, and honestly, I give him major props for being so bold… it certainly paid off in the long run, if he didn’t get this girl. The full video is available below. In 2026, Chesney is headed back to the Sphere for second residency I Go Back 2026, with five shows beginning on Friday, June 19, and wrapping up on Saturday, June 27.
