Jon Pardi has hit the top of the country chart with his latest smash, “Your Heart Or Mine.” The song, written by his co-producer Bart Butler, Justin Ebach and John Pierce, is Jon’s sixth No. 1 song.

“It’s always fun to have a number-one song, and it’s a fun song,” says the California native. “‘Your Heart Or Mine’ was one song that when I heard it, I was like, ‘I have to record this.’”

“Your Heart Or Mine” is the follow-up to his No. 1 hit “Last Night Lonely” off Pardi’s critically acclaimed project Mr. Saturday Night. Earlier this year, Mr. Saturday Night earned an ACM Album of the Year nod, Pardi’s third consecutive nomination in category as both artist and producer.

Jon, who will be officially inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on October 24th, will kick off his Mr. Saturday Night World Tour on September 28th in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Josh Turner is getting ready to release a collection of his top tracks and fan favorites, Greatest Hits, on September 8th. The album features 11 of Turner’s biggest songs from seven of his studio albums. The project includes his five No. 1 hits – “Your Man,” certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA; “Would You Go With Me,” certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA; “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” certified double-Platinum by the RIAA; “All Over Me,” certified Gold by the RIAA; and “Hometown Girl,” certified double-Platinum by the RIAA. No Greatest Hits album would be complete without Turner’s self-penned signature song, “Long Black Train,” which has over 315 million streams and is certified Platinum by the RIAA. 

Josh feels a Greatest Hits collection is a significant achievement in the career of any artist. “Having a Greatest Hits record, period, is a milestone for any artist. It’s an accomplishment for any artist,” says Josh. “It shows, especially in this day and time, you don’t see a lot of Greatest Hits packages anymore, just because of the nature of the business. For me, it’s kind of a testament to my hard work that I’ve had to fight tooth and nail for every single thing that I’ve gotten, and I’ve had to fight for these hits too. And so, to be able to announce to my fans every night that, ‘Hey, I’ve got a Greatest Hits album coming out,’ is pretty cool.”

Jon Langston has joined Luke Bryan‘s Country On Tour for some select dates. He opened for the superstar this past weekend, and is set to rejoin Luke on the road on Friday (August 25th) in Evansville, Indiana and Saturday (August 26th) in Maryland Heights, Missouri, as well as October 5th in Orlando, Florida. He says Luke is a great mentor and friend and is excited to be back on the road with him.

“He’s a great person to have in your corner,” says Jon. “I’ve learned a lot from him on the road. Luke is just a great friend, a great mentor, he’s a great guy and would do anything for you, and I’m excited to get back on the road with him. We got to do a big tour with him a few years ago before Covid, and we’re excited to get back on the road with those guys. They’re like family.”

Jon was the first artist signed under Luke Bryan’s Label 32 Bridge Entertainment with EMI Records Nashville.

The Georgia native (and huge Georgia Bulldogs fan) is set to release his debut album, Heart On Ice, September 8th.

Jordan Davis is living out his recent multi-week No. 1 song, “Next Thing You Know.” He says now being the father of three children really amplified the idea for “Next Thing You Know,” which he co-wrote with Greylan James, Chase McGill and Josh Osborne.

“Life’s pretty crazy right now, especially in like where we’re at in the touring season. I mean, it’s just like the throes of touring, so it’s like you’re gone from home 100+ dates, most of the time 150, and that’s half the year you don’t get to see the kiddos,” says Jordan. “And I think too, even my son who’s about to turn two, they change so much in this era, in that first year of life, you know and now the second. You leave for a week, you come back and he’s got five new words. It just changes so quick, and you can’t get those moments back. Baby number three kind of heightened the antennas for an idea like ‘Next Thing You Know,’ my kids are gonna be 18 and going to college.”

Jordan and his wife Kristen, who were married in 2017, are the proud parents of Eloise (3 1/2), Locklan (almost 2) and two-month old Elijah.

In other news, Jordan just released his new single “Tucson Too Late” from his Bluebird Days album and will kick off his headlining Damn Good Time Tour on August 31st in Atlanta. His opening acts on select dates include Avery Anna, Gabby Barrett, Danielle Bradberry, Flatland Calvary, Greylan James, Dylan Marlowe, Kameron Marlowe, Mike Ryan, Connor Smith and Georgia Webster.
