The video for Keith Urban‘s “Cop Car,” premiered on E! News and Eonline.com on Monday. It features a real life couple as the main characters. Check out the clip for “Cop Car” below, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video.

David Nail’s “Whatever She’s Got” vaulted up to the top of both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country singles charts, marking his second career No. 1.

The No. 1 hit and RIAA certified GOLD single is the first song from David’s forthcoming album, I’m a Fire. David recorded the Jimmy Robbins and Jon Nite-penned song for his wife Catherine, admitting “I still to this day don’t know what she has, but I know that I like it….whatever it is.”

David says with the release of “Whatever She’s Got,” he feels like a new artist, even though he’s been a recording artist for several years and had a previous No. 1 song with “Let It Rain.”
“[It’s] been a big song for us, and it’s been fun the last few months to kind of watch it take off,” says David. “In a lot of ways I feel like a new artist. I feel like I’m getting a new start, and just really thrilled with what this song’s done and with the record that we have and excited to get it out there.”

David, who will be hitting the road on Darius Rucker’s True Believers Tour at the end of the month, is set to release his new album, I’m a Fire, March 4th.

TIDBIT: Keith Urban apparently had “Whatever She’s Got” on hold, and David says he was “kind enough” to let him have the song.

David Nail (Whatever She’s Got success) OC: …biggest song. :39
“Most of my songs have taken a while, and then it’s six or seven months before we get back on the radio. So, I had forgotten, I think, what it felt like to be on the radio, to get in your car every day and not know, you know, just that anticipation that you may or may not hear your song. So, it feels really good. This song I believed in it the first moment that I heard it. It came to me at the perfect time, and it was actually just a rush to see who could record it first, and I won the battle. In the last three or four months, people can’t seem to get enough of it. And even though I had a No. 1 with ‘Let It Rain,’ this is by far my biggest song.”

Kacey Musgraves was a big winner at Sunday Night’s Grammy Awards, taking home the award for Best Country Song for “Merry Go ‘Round” and Best Country Album for Same Trailer, Different Park.

“I love observing things, whether it’s myself or other people. It’s kind of my favorite to just like find inspiration and zone in on that and figure out the little facets in that idea. I’m just inspired by emotions of every kind. I want the record to reflect just well- rounded emotions. I didn’t want the overall tone to be angry or sad .I think there’s elements of everything on there.”

Kacey Musgraves is taking home the Grammy Award for Best Country Song for her hit, “Merry Go ‘Round.” She not only recorded the song for her Grammy-nominated album, Same Trailer, Different Park, but she also won as a co-writer on the song, along with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.

“I’m so thankful for this song. I wrote it with Josh Osbourne and Shane Macanelli. One of my favorite writing combos, and God, I’m just so thankful that it was the first thing that I kind of got to say to the music world. A lot of it was inspired by the surroundings I had growing up- as in just being from a tiny little Bible Belt town in a conservative area. But, really, it’s just about life and I feel like no matter what size town you’re from- big or small- or if you’re wealthy or poor. We’re all just sort of driven by the same emotions; interactions, And, too, I feel like when people are kind of scared to branch out of their comfort zones, they tend to settle a little and that’s never good for anybody. It leads to regret and you know, it’s just something that happens in life, and it’s just something that I’m observing.”

Darius Rucker picked up the Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance for his No. 1 hit, “Wagon Wheel.” The song is from his latest album, True Believers.

The single, the 2014 Grammy nominee’s third from his #1 album FUSE, follows “Little Bit Of Everything” and his most recent “We Were Us” featuring Miranda Lambert, both of which hit #1 on the charts.

“I love the image of this song,” said Urban.  “A guy falling in love with this girl, while they’re both in handcuffs, and she’s going nuts – all in the back of a cop car.”

Urban is set to perform “Cop Car” on the 56^th Annual Grammy Awards to air this Sunday.  Following his performance Urban will head to New York City’s Madison Square Garden, where his “Light The Fuse Tour” will continue.  Live filming for American Idol begins next month.

Jennifer Nettles’ That Girl debuted at the top of the Billboard Country Album Chart. The project sold 54,000 copies to land at No. 1 on the country chart and at No. 5 overall. Jennifer said her new solo project was four years in the making, due to a lot of focus and planning on her part. “I approached the desire to do a solo project like I do most anything that feels like a big life change,” says Jennifer. “I approached it with focus and with planning and with logistics. It took a lot of that, you know, because obviously where Sugarland is concerned, we’ve been together for 10 years, and that was in and of itself an incredible machine. There were jobs and people who were depending on what we were doing as a duo, and so I didn’t take it lightly from a logistics perspective what I was going to do. So, consequently that type of planning and consideration allowed me the time artistically to also dig in, and to feel a little bit more free, and to not feel like I had an impending deadline on when I wanted to do this project.”

Catch Jennifer next week as she makes appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show January 27th, CBS’s The Talk on January 28th and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno January 29th.
