There’s no stopping Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town”.  It’s now sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., which makes it the fourth highest-selling song of 2023.  And there’s a lot of 2023 left. It’s dominating the charts too.  It debuted at Number Two on the Billboard Hot 100.  That’s the highest Jason has EVER been on the all-genre pop chart. Do I even need to tell you it’s Number One on the Hot Country Songs chart?

Jon Pardi puts in perspective how easy being an entertainer really is versus a “real job” Saying he always jokes about waiting around all day to do a sound check and then play two hours so they only work three hours. Compare that to working on a farm. Waking up at 5:30 a.m. to drive an hour to go hop on a tractor and it’s been 10 hours sweating. Now do that six days a week. That’s real work.

Radar Online claims Tim McGraw and Faith Hill won’t be doing another season of ”1883” because Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are allegedly doing another season of their Yellowstone spinoff, ”1923”. A source tells the website, “When producers learned Helen and Harrison were up for doing another season, they jumped at the chance.  Sadly, Tim and Faith don’t have that kind of juice.”
