The List, for Tuesday, April 2nd 2024

Welcome to The List,

We start today with Chayce Beckham!! His song ‘23’ has gone all the way to the top…his first #1!!.  "I really don't know what to say other than thank you to all the incredible fans out there who listened to the song, and it starts with you guys of course. Thank you for helping me cross this finish line, and I love you all so much. Hopefully there's many more to come."  Congratulations…According to Beckham, the idea for the song came when, prior to his audition for American Idol, he was involved in a drunk driving incident.  ’23’ is on his debut album ‘Bad For Me’…

Morgan Wallen sings, writes. Plays guitar and the piano “Yeah, I started playing piano when I was seven years old, and I learned to play it classically and played for a few years, and then I kind of just, just didn’t really play any instruments for a while because I was so focused on baseball.”  Other than ‘Sand In My Boots’ there really isn’t anything else he’s written for the piano…

Loretta Lynn's granddaughter Emmy Russell took the American Idol stage once again on Sunday. Whether or not she moved on feels like an afterthought after her performance.

Russell is among that group.  She learned she'd moved on to tonights (April 1) Showstoppers Round, where the group will be trimmed to 24.
