Country

2025 had no shortage of major music news stories. Here's a rundown of some of the biggest of the year.

The song, which came out in 1994 and first hit the top 10 in 2017, has now led the chart for the last seven holiday seasons.

The son of Cuban immigrants, Malo and his band blended country, rock and roll, folk, jump blues, Latin music and Cajun rhythms into a distinct sound anchored by his unmistakable voice.

The Zac Brown Band's first five albums hit #1 on the Billboard Country Charts. Their latest is Love & Fear.

One hundred years ago this week, the radio barn dance that came to be known as the Grand Ole Opry was first broadcast from Nashville. Being part of the show still matters to country artists today.

Starting with this year's nominations, the Grammy Awards will split its prize for country album of the year into two distinct categories: traditional and contemporary.

This week's albums and singles charts are both dominated by the same record: Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend, which debuts at No. 1 and lands all 12 of its songs in the Hot 100's top 40.

Strings says his guitar has been his best friend for as long as he can remember. After his mother's death this past June, music became a source of catharsis.

A K-pop blockbuster lands atop this week's Billboard albums chart, but it's not the one you might be expecting.

This week, Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem sits at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart again. But the two titles just below it are making the most noise: Conan Gray's Wishbone and KPop Demon Hunters, which pulls off something no soundtrack has ever accomplished.
