The List for Wednesday September 30th 2020

Welcome to The List -

Lee Brice makes it on The List and says in Nashville, he used to write new music everyday. "You get up everyday...you go to an appointment whether you feel like it or not, and you work. So I built a studio on my bus, so that when I get home I can just be home. I'll bring maybe a co-writer out like some of my good buddies onto the bus for a weekend and we just dial in." Lee Brice is on a winning streak as “One of Them Girls” becomes his third No. 1 single in a row, and his seventh chart-topping release overall. His new album 'Hey World', comes out November 20.

Luke Combs is one of many artists who will perform at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards next month. Luke is nominated for Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist, Top Country Album and the fan-voted Billboard Chart Achievement Award.

A new Lion King photo-realistic movie is in the works at Disney...touching on the early years of Mufasa.. Disney has not announced a release date or production start date for the sequel. Maybe we'll get to see how Scar...GOT his scar....

She's just glad she was able to get the word about her big cats...now? She's shopping around a reality show were she brings animal abusers to justice.

The debates last night were tough...to watch...but Jimmy Fallon shared his thoughts.."This got real ugly, after the debate was over Chris Wallace said he wants to moderate something a little more civil like a Real House Wifes' reunion or a back alley knife fight"
