Disney/Scott KirklandThere's nothing quite like scoring your first chart-topping single, especially when it's something you've worked toward for years.That's how George Birge feels about "Mind on You," especially after moving to Nashville years ago to chase his country music dreams."What a feeling. It's something that I've chased for a long time," George tells ABC Audio. "You never really know if it's going to come true and to have 'Mind on You' go number one, last day of the year, December 31st. What a way to close a chapter and start a new one for me."So, how did George celebrate his first #1 hit? Well, let's just say it was simple and sweet."I was actually back in Texas with my family. I found out on a Thursday that we had a lead that was not going to be caught up to [on the country charts], so I went to the liquor store down the street from my house that I was staying at. I bought the nicest bottle of wine I could find," George shares."It was like a $100 bottle of wine. And we popped that, me and my wife, and had a great night, man," he recalls. "So, pretty low-key, but a great way to celebrate." You can find "Mind on You" on George's debut album, George Birge: Mind On You. His latest single, "Cowboy Songs," is the title track of his follow-up seven-track EP, which arrived in April.

Courtesy of Triple Tigers RecordsIf you were confused by the "drinking cab in a solo, solo in the cab of my truck" line in Scotty McCreery's latest single, you're not alone.That typical bafflement and follow-up reaction is actually what Scotty loves about "Cab in a Solo.""I'll always love the hook on 'Cab in a Solo,' especially just when we sent the song out to radio [and] sent the song out to fans," Scotty tells ABC Audio. "They see the title and they're like, 'What the heck is this song going to be about?' And then they listen to it and it clicks.""For a lot of people, it took two or three listens for it to click and they're like, 'Oh,'" he shares.Listeners and fans weren't the only ones Scotty confused. His father also had trouble interpreting the meaning of "Cab in a Solo" at the onset."Even my dad was like, "So, 'Cab in a Solo,' it's like cab, just like wine, right?'" And I was like, 'Yeah.' He's like, 'And solo's just like a cup, right?' And I'm like, 'Yeah?' He was like, 'Solo, drinking by yourself in the cab, oh,'" Scotty recounts."It's like, he pieced it together just [by] talking about it. It's like, "Yeah dad, you're right,'" shares the country star. "Cab in a Solo" is now #2 and approaching the peak of the country charts. You can find it on Scotty's forthcoming fifth album, Rise & Fall, arriving May 10.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

I didn't know that," the award-winning actor says.Beach added, "It's remarkable to see what he is doing. And pretty much I don't think ... anyone watching will have any idea. You can't see anything different."Beach continues, "On set, of course, he needs — he needs a little more breaks. He's always got to exercise. He's got to stretch. He's got special chairs to sit in and stuff like that. But, you know, it's so quick ... from his accident — to see the things that he can do is incredible."Beach adds with a laugh, "So, yeah, he really is a superhero, man.

Chase tells ABC Audio. "It's an accomplishment for everybody, the whole fan base as a whole. So, definitely cool."Chase has also observed a shift in the way "Love You Again" is received at live shows as more people become familiar with it through the radio and the viral #BlackDressTrend on TikTok."I definitely like singing it live different. It evolves over time," says Chase. "People are starting to learn all the lines. So some of the lines are becoming more fan-favorite than the normal ones or the obvious ones. So yeah, it's definitely evolving and we've got new versions of it coming too, so it's awesome."

Courtesy of MCA NashvilleAs Sam Hunt celebrates his 10th #1 with "Outskirts," he's reflecting on his career in country music and the people who have been there with him from the get-go: his fans."They mean the world to me. They're the reason I have a career," Sam tells the press. "Our fans specifically have been a unique section of country music fans. A lot of our fans aren't traditional country music fans, but now [have got] on board through some of our music, which is always awesome to hear."Sam has not only shaped his fans' music taste but has watched them grow up from teens to parents. His music has, quite literally, transcended generations."From the early days, I've really appreciated the enthusiasm our fans have had and [their] loyalty. They've stuck with us all these years and now, 10 years in, it feels like a lot of us have grown up," says Sam. "A lot of them have kids now. They're bringing their kids out to the shows the last two or three years, which is really cool to see."He adds, "We have a real relationship that goes back now, which makes it more meaningful when we get out and see some familiar faces on the road."You can find "Outskirts" on Sam's latest EP, Locked Up, out now.To catch Sam on his Locked Up Tour this summer, head to samhunt.com.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.
