The last album to hold down #1 for 11 weeks in a row was the Titanic soundtrack, which led for 16 back in 1998.

The other two LPs were Whitney Houston’s Whitney spending its first 11 straight weeks at #1 in 1987, and Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life logged its first 13 weeks at #1 in 1976 and 1977.

“These stats are all so humbling and being mentioned in the same sentence as Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston is something I never could have imagined. But I’m most grateful to everyone who listens to my music. That’s the connection that means the most to me, and it’s the best compliment out there, the fact that you guys like it.”

The 30th-anniversary edition of Big Valley Jamboree is August 3-6.

The headliners are Morgan Wallen, Dierks Bentley and Dallas Smith.

“I think that the best music and the music that people relate to the most is the honest music that people feel themselves in it.”

Country 105 welcomes Morgan Wallen with special guests Ernest and Bailey Zimmerman.

The One Night At A Time World Tour hits Calgary Saturday, September 30, at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

“I try to focus on what I love doing, and if those things, those awards, those accolades, those tickets keep selling and coming like they are doing, I’m going to relish in it and live my life the best way I know how and be grateful.”

The 58th ACM Awards ceremony was live-streamed on Amazon’s Prime Video from Frisco, Texas, on May 11.

“I just try to tell it how it is, the good, the bad, the love, the heartbreak. That’s all I know how to do.”

“My hope is that this album makes my fans proud; makes ’em laugh, smirk, cry, and think just like it did for me.”
