The List for Tuesday, July 20th 2021

Welcome to The List,

We ALL have out favorite songs…Cole Swindell Says ‘Single Saturday Night’ is his “’Single Saturday Night’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever put out and it’s pretty much just talking about doing the same old thing…one night you meet somebody that changes your life….and cheers to the last single Saturday night of all of our lives”

Jason Aldean is celebrating his 25th number one hit ‘Blame It On You’ “So “Blame It On You” was a song that I got, it was actually written by a couple of guys in my band, Kurt Alison and Tully Kennedy, my guitar player and bass player.  It was one that just kind of grabbed me right off the bat and I’m really glad we cut it.” Jason tells CMT that he may be a bit rusty when he resumes touring in August after taking a year off…

Blake Shelton tells Parade magazine that he’s getting more choosy with what songs he records. Saying he used to record whatever songs he thought sounded good. But now, he tries to picture if anyone back home would crank it up in his truck.

OK! magazine says ABC has a wish list for the next season of ”Dancing With the Stars”. A source says producers are interested in LeAnn Rimes, Fran Drescher and Meghan McCain. Sadly, no Brandon Lewis, Doris Day or Jonathan Knight…we…are…bummed….

Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos successfully went into space this morning taking his brother Mark,  the youngest student 18 year old Oliver Daemen and the oldest woman in space Wally Funk at 82 – “We’re going to show the world what can be done in space and how we can act and think and how we want to bring things back to people.”Pretty inspiring.  It was a 10 min 10 second trip onboard Blue Origin’s rocket ship called ‘New Shepard’ and took off at 9:12 Eastern from a private launch site in Van Horn Texas.

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

The List for Wednesday, March 25th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

-----

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.

-----

American Idol judges have some… very specific pre-show rituals. Lionel Richie takes a spoonful of olive oil. Yes really. Luke Bryan snacks on ranch and carrots like a chaotic toddler. Carrie Underwood crochets backstage to stay calm and focused. Somewhere Simon Cowell just rolled his eyes.

-----

The Yellowstone universe keeps getting bigger than a Montana sky. A new spin-off called Dutton Ranch is officially on the way. There’s talk fans might finally see Beth and Kayce reunite. Execs say scheduling two productions is the biggest challenge. Premiere date May fifteenth. Cancel your plans now.
