It’s Friday, and country music is serving! From fan-favorite artists dropping new projects to rising stars making their mark, this week’s release slate is packed with songs that deserve a spot on your playlist today (October 10).
Leading the pack this week is Megan Moroney, who gave fans the ultimate gift for her 28th birthday (October 9) — a front-row seat to her record-breaking AM I OKAY? TOUR!
The “Tennessee Orange” singer just released her first-ever LIVE album, Am I Okay? Tour (Live), out. The project captures 24 standouts from her sold-out headline run, including fan favorites like “Man on the Moon” and the explosive encore of her platinum-certified No. 1 hit “Am I Okay?”
The release comes as Moroney wraps up her AM I OKAY? TOUR this weekend with three back-to-back shows at the Texas Trust CU Theatre in Dallas. The run has seen her sell out some of the nation’s most iconic venues — from Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre to New York City’s Radio City Music Hall (which we were able to attend!!) and Nashville’s The Pinnacle. Along the way, she’s shattered attendance records, including drawing over 20,400 fans at Wyoming’s Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo — the largest crowd ever for a female artist.
Moroney’s live album follows her hit sophomore record Am I Okay?, which debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and helped cement her place as one of country music’s fastest-rising stars. The Georgia native has since earned multiple major awards and crossed over into pop-culture territory with appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and now, Late Night with Seth Meyers — where she made her first-ever couch interview this week.
The new live album is a perfect way to relive the AM I OKAY? TOUR one last time — or experience it for the first, as Moroney continues to prove she’s one of the brightest stars in country music today.
But she’s not the only one delivering fresh music. This week also brings exciting new projects, including Dasha’s Anna, Lauren Watkins’ In A Perfect World, Mae Estes’ Mae Estes, Priscilla Block’s Things You Didn’t See, Philip Bowen’s Appalachia Forever, Faith Hopkins’ Love & Insanity, Shane Profitt’s Population Me, Trent Harmon’s Give Me Jesus, and Noah Cyrus’ I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME (Deluxe).
Chart-topping artists like RaeLynn, Waylon Wyatt, Jason Aldean, Joe Nichols, Kelsea Ballerini, Jake Owen, and Cody Jinks are also keeping the hits coming. PLUS, brand new collaborations from Ty Myers and Marcus King’s “Two Trains,” Southall and Koe Wetzel’s “Gunshy (Rerecorded),” Jenna Paulette and Jake Worthington’s,“Chasin’ Whiskey,” and Taylor Rae and Antonio Larosa’s “Hearts Don’t Break.”
It’s not just the headliners stealing the spotlight — newcomers are stepping up in a big way, with rising stars like Noah Hicks, Braedon Barnhill, Shaylen, HunterGirl, Morgan Evans, and Maggie Baugh.
