Welcome to The List,
The Zac Brown Band canceled their show in Vancouver, Canada Friday after some crew members were denied entry at the border. It was NOT because of Covid. “We’re a family. We stick together and support each other, and never leave anyone behind. Apparently some of the crew had a record decades ago that was cleared and that kept them from entering the country this time. The weird part is that the band has been performing regularly in Canada, including twice THIS year.

There may be several reasons why Blake Shelton decided that next season would be his last on “The Voice”. But according to Radar.com, he did it because Gwen Stefani applied the pressure. “Gwen wants him to spend more time with her, so they can ensure a happy future together.” The insider said his busy schedule has been an issue since the couple got married. They can’t even agree where to live. They split time between Gwen’s home in Encino, California . . . or Blake’s ranch in Oklahoma.

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.
