Trace Adkins plays a country singer on “Monarch”, but the similarities end there. After all, it’s a TV show. Still, somebody asked how much of Trace is in the character. Trace said “The only similarity between myself and Albie . . . we do the same thing for a living. “I leave the set every day going, ‘Thank God I don’t have to deal with the stuff that man has to deal with.’ Because I would put somebody in a sleeper hold every day.” A man that has a lot of daughters, I can see where he’s coming from.

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.”

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.
