Entertainment

Dylan Scott

DYLAN SCOTT

Despite a multi-Platinum story and six No. 1 singles, including two fresh smashes in 2025, Curb Records hitmaker Dylan Scott has always kept an underdog mindset. A rowdy roughneck with a romantic side – one whose modern edge was sharpened by timeless, emotional twang – the consummate family man broke out with the epic triple-Platinum devotion of “My Girl” in 2016 and followed up with scrappy, under-the-radar consistency. Chart-topping heart-forward anthems like “Hooked,” “Nobody” and “New Truck” all reached RIAA-certified status, but 2025 has launched the crooner into the stratosphere. Posting back-to-back No. 1s in 2025 alone and six No. 1s overall, Scott wrapped 2025 as the third most-played country artist of the year at country radio and continues his hot streak with his current Top 10 single, Platinum-certified “What He’ll Never Have.”  With nearly 5 billion career streams, legions of fans and countless sold-out shows to his credit, his stardom has somehow grown in relative stealth. But with his third full album, Easy Does It, he’s not sweating. Sure of himself, his talent and his fans, Scott heads toward a new creative chapter with total confidence. Featuring 11 tracks, his signature vocal and vivid intensity take center stage on a set defined by personal truth – whether through heartbreak, romantic devotion or small-town dedication. The in-demand live act wrapped his Country Till I Die and Easy Does It Tours in 2025, headlining his biggest venues yet including his first-ever arenas and record-breaking attendance.

 


 

Hot Chelle Rae

HOT CHELLE RAE

Hot Chelle Rae lit up pop radio since 2011 with massive hooks and unforgettable energy, breaking out worldwide with multi-Platinum hits like “Tonight Tonight” and “I Like It Like That.”
 
With over 1 billion global streams, an American Music Award, and tours alongside Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, and Justin Bieber, the band became a cultural staple of the recently resurgent 2010s pop-rock scene.
 
After coming back together over the past few years, they’ve been playing shows around the world — and the crowds are making it clear they’ve been waiting for HCR’s next move.
 
The band’s recently finished their first full-length album since 2011: a feel-good, high-energy record that has everything fans loved from the beginning with a fresh wave of Y2K alt pop inspo. It’s catchy, loud, and built for summer stages, late nights, and singing along start to finish.
 
It’s a new chapter, but the heart’s the same — built on big melodies, good times, and the kind of songs people play on repeat.
