Billy Ray Cyrus is putting out his first album of new music in 14 years. “The Hill” sees Billy Ray working at length with son Braison Cyrus, who scored co-writer and co-producer credits for the upcoming collection. Two of the songs, “It’s Alright” and “You’re Not Here,” were released alongside the album announcement, and follow the release of the track “On Our Way Along” with daughter Noah Cyrus back in April. “The Hill” will be available everywhere June 16.

We told you Friday that Florida Georgia Line reunited at CMA Fest, but what remained a mystery is: for how long? Was this basically a special occasion or something more long-term? We have another clue that this may indeed be a permanent thing. The duo has signed with The Core Entertainment for management, a company Tyler Hubbard had signed with several months back to guide his solo career. There is no word on whether the pair is working on new music, but “Billboard” reports that more FGL live shows are coming in 2027.

Zach Top sees no reason to wrap up his 2026 “Cold Beer & Country Music” tour any time soon. The trek was originally scheduled to end in Toronto September 1. Yesterday, the singer announced he was adding 17 more dates to the tour. He’ll take ten days off after the Toronto show, kicking off his next leg of the tour September 11 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. He’ll visit San Diego, Des Moines and more before a final show October 30 in Nashville. Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday, June 12th at 10AM local time. See the first ten dates of the fall leg of the tour below. Visit Zach’s website for more dates and ticket info.

Garth Brooks may be about to get a massive payday. The “Wall Street Journal” is reporting that there are discussions for the legendary artist to sell his catalog and songwriting for the mind-boggling sum of $2-billion. If the deal goes through, it would be the biggest in history. As of now, both Queen and Michael Jackson‘s catalogs pulled in around $1-billion each, which Garth would blow past if the deal is made.

Garth Brooks is one of one. The legendary artist just did something that basically demands the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) recognize his achievement, and it is doing exactly that. Garth has had 10 albums certified Diamond (at least 10-million units or the equivalent in streams sold). To recognize this accomplishment, the RIAA has announced that Garth will be honored with the Artist of a Lifetime Award at tonight’s RIAA Honors. Garth gives the credit to country radio, saying “It’s not about numbers, it is about the music. This milestone goes directly to country radio. It introduced me to the world’s biggest, best, and most loyal audience: the country music audience.”
