INVITATION: Welcome to the NEW Country Music Gold Rush

This week, my deep dive led me to a country crooner from Woodstock, Georgia: Mr. Kenny Whitmire. With a style reminiscent of Keith Whitley, he has "next big thing" written all over him. If he keeps up this momentum, expect to see him on the main list very soon. Remember where you heard about him first! This is where you find pure COUNTRY GOLD.

FRESH: Grammy Night Reshapes Country Buzz Top 10

It is a great time to be alive, being a country music fan. This week's list clearly shows what a Grammy win - and a great Grammy speech! - can do for your career.It's also great to see that all-time favorite Tim McGraw buzzing away right now. Now we really look forward to his new single "Pawn Shop Guitar" dropping in early March. Surprisingly enough, we saw Lainey dropping out of the list this week (probably just temporary, since her new Wrangler line of cool cowgirl gear is bubbling on social media right now).But we still have Ella Langley. Her new song "Dandelion" is targeted for top positions on the charts, and a new album and a major tour are coming up. I cannot get enough of Ella. And I am not alone.

THIS IS THE LIST YOU NEED: Key trends in TOP COUNTRY this week

When I started to put together the weekly COUNTRY BUZZ TOP 10 listings (see below), I could not imagine the impact that the ten artists on the list have on EVERY OTHER single move in the country music industry. If you follow the moves in the industry, you need to know who is on this list (and why!) to fully understand the wonderful world of country music.
