On July 26th, 2011, Eric Church released his third album, Chief, which produced five singles, including the first two No. 1 songs of his career – “Drink in My Hand” and “Springsteen” – as well as two Top 10s – “Creepin’” and “Like Jesus Does” – and the Top 20 country hit, “Homeboy.” The album has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for more than three million copies.

Eric is currently sitting inside the Top 25 with his latest hit, “Round Here Buzz.”

On the heels of his eighth No. 1 Country single Darius Rucker has responded to fans’ appeals for new music with an announcement on the TODAY Show this morning, letting them know they won’t be waiting much longer for a new album from the 3-time GRAMMY winning star. When Was The Last Time, the long-awaited fifth studio country album on Capitol Records Nashville, will be released nationwide Friday, October 20th. Fans can preorder the album beginning today at http://umgn.us/DariusPreOrder.

The Platinum-selling star released the album’s second single, a song he wrote with Derek George and Travis Hill, “For The First Time” to Country radio just yesterday, Monday, July 24th. “For The First Time” is the follow-up to his most recent No. 1 single, “If I Told You, marking eight country No. 1 singles for Rucker since his country music debut in 2008.

Earlier this week, Rucker spoke with Billboard about teaming up with esteemed Nashville producer Ross Copperman (Dierks Bentley, Brett Eldredge, Keith Urban) to bring his vision for the album to life.

“On top of being a genius with the equipment, Ross is so high-energy and funny; that kid is never not laughing.”  He added, “Every time we were in the studio we had a great band who had great ideas of their own, so it was the farthest thing from tedious, but just, let’s get in and do it. I think for the whole record we spent just three days tracking music.”

This fall’s release will be yet another signature moment in the multiplatinum career of one of music’s most beloved figures. Rucker has never been busier while working on his new album with a slate of television appearances this spring and summer including a CMT Crossroads episode with John Mellencamp, an appearance in Adam Sandler’s Netflix original, Sandy Wexler, and his own episode of Celebrity Undercover Boss on CBS.

Rucker, an avid golfer and passionate fan of the game, will host a new monthly show in SiriusXM’s 23/7 golf channel, SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio. On Par with Darius Rucker will debut tomorrow, July 26 at 3pm ET.

The pre-order packages available include exclusive merchandise and the option to receive an autographed copy. For more information about new music, appearances and tour dates, please visit www.dariusrucker.com.

About Darius Rucker
Rucker first attained multi-Platinum status in the music industry as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of GRAMMY award-winning Hootie & the Blowfish. Since re-introducing himself to the world as a country artist, he has released four consecutive albums to top the Billboard Country albums chart and earned a whole new legion of fans. In 2014, Rucker won his third career GRAMMY award for Best Solo Country Performance for his 4x Platinum selling cover of Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel,” off his album, True Believers. Rucker’s first two country albums, Learn To Live and Charleston, SC 1966 produced five No. 1 singles including “Come Back Song,” “This,” “Alright,” “It Won’t Be Like This For Long” and “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It.” Southern Style, his fourth studio country album, features his seventh No. 1 single “Homegrown Honey,” co-written by Rucker, label mate Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum and Nathan Chapman. Rucker’s last single, “If I Told You,” is his eighth No. 1 on country radio and the first cut from his forthcoming fifth album for Capitol Nashville.

Darius Rucker has just hit the airwaves with “For the First Time,” the follow-up to his recent No. 1 “If I Told You.” The song, which he co-wrote with Derek George and Travis Hill and will be featured on his new album, made him think about some of the things he wanted to accomplish.

“It’s a song about taking chances and doing something you wouldn’t normally do and something that’s totally out of the ordinary for you,” says Darius. “That song really made me sit down and write out a list of things that I want to do that I’ve never done.”

Darius will perform his new single when he performs during the Watershed Festival in George, Washington on Saturday (July 29th).

Darius Rucker, an avid golfer and passionate fan of the game, will host a new monthly show on SiriusXM’s 24/7 golf channel, SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio. On Par with Darius Rucker will debut July 26 (3:00-4:00 pm ET) and will feature Rucker’s perspective on the game as a devoted player (he is a single-digit handicap) and fan.

Rucker is friendly with many active players on both the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions, and he is a partner at MGC Sports, a sports agency that currently represents golfers and other athletes. He will invite the game’s stars as well as other celebrities with a passion for golf on the show for conversations that will span the worlds of golf and entertainment.

“They say that rock stars want to be pro athletes, and pro athletes want to be rock stars, and there is definitely some truth to that,” said Rucker. “It’s no secret that music and golf are two passions of mine. I’ve been lucky enough to play with and get to know well some of the best golfers on tour. While we’re on the course, I’m looking for swing tips and all they want to do is talk music. SiriusXM is the perfect place to blend both of those worlds into one show, and I am really excited to get started.”

“Darius is a very talented and versatile entertainer. He is also a fun-loving and engaging guy who is absolutely infatuated with the game of golf, which is something so many of us can relate to,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio is an excellent forum for him to share that passion for golf and we are very excited to work with him on what will be a very unique and entertaining show.”

Darius Rucker first attained multi-platinum status as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Hootie & the Blowfish. Since re-introducing himself to the world as a solo country artist, his musical life has had a remarkable second act that has featured many chart-topping hits. Rucker’s as-yet-untitled fifth Capitol Records Nashville album will be released later this year.

Rucker’s passion for golf has been conspicuous since the game played a prominent role in the 1995 music video for “Only Wanna Be With You,” one of the earliest hits for Hootie & the Blowfish. He plays nearly every day when he is touring and was a VIP guest of Team USA at the 2016 Ryder Cup.

Rucker is also actively involved with several golf events. These include the “Darius Rucker Intercollegiate,” the annual women’s college golf tournament held in Hilton Head; the Annual Hootie & the Blowfish Monday After the Masters celebrity pro-am tournament; the “Darius and Friends” concert and golf tournament that raised over $1 million for St. Jude Children’s Hospital in the eight years since its inception; as well as the ACM Lifting Lives® Golf Classic charity tournament.

The SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel is available to listeners nationwide on satellite radios (Sirius channel 208, XM channel 92) and on the SiriusXM app. Go to www.SiriusXM.com/SiriusXMPGATOURRadio for more info.

Keith Urban wrote “The Fighter,” his fifth single from his Ripcord album with busbee. The song was inspired by his early relationship with his wife Nicole Kidman, and it was apparently written very quickly, especially given the inspiration behind it.

“The idea came very, very quickly. I was working with busbee that day. We were in London, and I was actually driving to the studio to work on this other song that we’d started, and I had most of the chorus in my head and felt like I had most of the song in my head; just had to flesh out the gist of the verses and everything. I walked into the studio and played him the chord progression, and he built this track really quickly, and then I could sing over the top of it,” says Keith. “It was just a very, very quick song to write, because I literally just thought about Nic and I and our relationship at the beginning and some of the things that we’d said and they all went into that song.”

Keith takes “The Fighter,” plus several more of his hits to Paso Robles on Wednesday (July 26th).

Chris Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 1 is holding the top spot as the best-selling country album of 2017 so far. The collection has sold around 500,000 copies, while his 2015 debut album Traveller, which was recently certified double-platinum for selling more than 2 million copies, is the second-best selling album of the year.

Chris says he really enjoys all of the songs on the album, most of which he wrote over 10 years ago. “I like all of those songs, and a lot of the songs that I feel like are better songs of mine have never been cut and have never been recorded and things that I like. I heard Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, I read an interview with him one time where he said he always tried to make music that he would want to listen to, and I think that is the best kind of litmus test for what you want to record or make,” says Chris. “If you write a song and you still like it 10 years after the day you wrote it, it’s real easy to like a song the day you wrote it. Everybody can think they’re a genius on the day they write a song. If you can write a song and then listen to it 10 years away from writing it and go, ‘You know, that’s a pretty good song. I like that song,’ then that’s a pretty good indication that it’s probably okay.”

Chris will take his tour on the road this weekend when he makes a stop in George, Washington at the Watershed Festival on Friday (July 28^th) and in Central Point, Oregon for the Country Crossings Music Festival on Saturday (July 29^th), as well as Mountain Home, Idaho for the Mountain Home Country Music Festival on Sunday (July 30^th).

The Kentucky native is currently making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “Broken Halos.”

Lady Antebellum like to keep busy on the road on their You Look Good World Tour, so they decided to parody one of the hottest songs to hit radio this year, Sam Hunt‘s “Body Like a Back Robe,” only their take was titled, “Party in a Bathrobe.” Their band slipped on a bathrobe and got into the action as well. Check it out below.

The group, who is making their way to the top of the country charts with “You Look Good,” will take their tour to Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday (July 27th), followed by dates in Tampa and West Palm Beach later this weekend.

On July 24th, 2010, Luke Bryan’s “Rain is a Good Thing” climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart. The Georgia native, a son of a peanut farmer, co-wrote the tune with his dear friend Dallas Davidson (“Country Girl,” “That’s My Kind of Night,” “All About Tonight,” “Gimme That Girl”), based on a saying they’d have back in college.

“Rain makes corn/corn makes whiskey/whiskey makes my baby/feel a little frisky.”

“The song came about from strictly an old saying that me and my co-writer [Dallas Davidson] in college, we’d have something planned and we’d get bummed out by the rain,” says Luke. “We’d be like, ‘Well, rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey,” and we’d never even said the frisky line. We actually made that up in the writing session.”

Luke hits the festival circuit this week with a date during Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming on Wednesday (July 26th), followed by a show Friday (July 28th) in Central Point, Oregon and a performance during the Mountain Home Music Festival on Saturday (July 29th).
