Welcome to The List,
We start today with a message to YOU the fans, from Thomas Rhett “Just wanted to say thank you very much for my 18th number #1 single at country radio. “Country Again” is the number #1 song in the country this week. And Me and Lennon are celebrating by watching ‘Moana’. So thank you to everyone, thank you to Country radio to everyone that’s ever streamed the song or downloaded it or told a friend about it. One of my favorites. I wrote this in my basement in the dead center of 2020 and never imagined that it would be the number 1 song in the country. So thank yall! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything, for all the support.” Thomas wrote “Country Again” in his basement in the middle of the COVID lockdowns.

Welcome to The List,
Starting off with some royal news, and surprise, it’s awkward again. Reports say things are allegedly tense between King Charles and Prince William. An insider claims there’s real anger on both sides, with William being described as controlled, strategic, and very aware that he’s the future king. Translation for the rest of us. Two strong personalities, one crown, zero compromise.

The Super Bowl is fascinating because everyone watches it, but almost half of America claims they do not care who wins. A reported 47 percent of Americans have no opinion on the outcome. Among those who do care, more are pulling for the Seahawks than the Patriots. And me? I am rooting for a solid cheese dip and no commercials that make me cry.

Luke Combs is sitting out the Madden Bowl concert ahead of the Super Bowl. Why? Because his wife is expecting their third child. Luke posted that family always comes first and apologized for missing the show. That is called priorities. And honestly, Dad mode beats Super Bowl mode every time.

Jelly Roll is giving one of his Grammy Awards to the juvenile detention center where he once spent time. His wife Bunnie Xo says he wants to give the kids a little inspiration. That is not a publicity stunt. That is a full-circle moment. And possibly the most meaningful Grammy flex ever.
