Back in 2009, Keri, 42, released the “Turnin’ Me On” remix, which includes lyrics that many fans believed were a diss towards Beyoncé, 43.

The verdict at this year’s CMA Awards is clear: The most important song and single of the year was first released 35 years ago. Luke Combs’ version of “Fast Car,” which reached Number Two on the Hot 100 this summer and became one of the unlikely blockbuster hits in any genre, took home the first two CMAs of the evening, for Song and Single of the year.

Chapman’s Song of the Year triumph marks a long overdue milestone: In the 56 previous years, there has never been a Black songwriter — male...

Last week, Tracy Chapman made country music history by becoming the first Black woman to be the sole songwriter of a Number One country hit when Luke Combs’ cover of her 1988 song “Fast Car” topped the charts.

While celebratory — “I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there,” Chapman said — the milestone was also a stark reminder of the historical precarity and lack of opportunities for Black women as songwriters in Nashville: Chapman is just one of a small group of Black...

Tracy Chapman has become the first Black woman in history to have the sole songwriting credit on a No. 1 country hit, thanks to Luke Combs’ cover of her 1988 song “Fast Car.” It currently sits atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated July 8th).

As Rolling Stone notes, Chapman is only the fourth Black woman to have any writing credit on a No. 1 country song. She joins the club currently occupied by Alice Randall, who co-wrote Trisha Yearwood’s 1994 single “XXX’s and Ooo’s (An American Girl)”; Ester Dean, who co-wrote Lady A’s “Champagne Night” in 2020; and Tayla Parx, who co-wrote Dan+Shay’s 2021 song “Glad You Exist.”

Combs’ version of “Fast Car” is the second single from his latest album, Gettin’ Old. Earlier this month, it rose from No. 8 to No. 4 on the Hot 100, surpassing the No. 6 peak of Chapman’s original, which Combs said was his “first favorite song probably ever.

Tracy Chapman is set to make history this week when Luke Combs’ version of her 1988 song “Fast Car” is expected to go Number One on the country charts. According to multiple sources, including Twitter chart guru Chris Owen, Combs’ version of Chapman’s ballad will top Billboard’s Country Airplay chart when the chart positions are announced in the coming days. With that achievement, Chapman will become the first-ever Black woman to have the sole songwriting credit on a Number One country hit.

Chapman will join a very small group...

How are we supposed to live without Michael Bolton? “American Song Contest” doesn’t have to answer that question just yet, as Connecticut-based Bolton and his song “Beautiful World” could still place next week through a combination of votes through fans and jurors.

But the early lead on night one of NBC’s U.S. take on the Eurovision Song Contest went to Rhode Island’s Hueston, wearing his heart on his sleeve with the tear-jerker “Held on Too Long.” Hueston most impressed the 56-member juror panel — which includes iHeartMedia chief programming officer/president Tom Poleman, Klos host and former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield and artist/songwriter/producer Ester Dean. He was the first from this group to qualify to move on from this round.

Hosted by Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg, “American Song Contest” premiered Monday night with competitors from the first heat taking the stage, representing 11 states. The...

If Katy Perry‘s “Firework” is your go-to karaoke song, you may want to pay attention to this article. As it turns out, loads of fans have been singing the lyrics wrong since the tune was first released in 2010. As Katy explains during the March 6 episode of “American Idol,” the words that follow “Make ’em go” are not “Up, Up, Up” or “Uh, Uh, Uh.”

Instead — are you ready for this? — the lyrics are “Awe, Awe, Awe.” That actually … makes sense!

Katy’s declaration comes when her co-judge Luke Bryan is chatting with Katy and Lionel Richie in between auditions of ABC’s reality TV show. “There are some habits that are throwing me a little bit,” Luke notes. “It’s just that over-exaggerated [singing].” The country superstar belts out brief moments of “Happy Birthday” and Hank Williams to emphasize his point,...

With the season two finale of NBC’s “Songland” just hours away, hitmaker and star mentor Ester Dean is not ready to say goodbye to her Monday night showcase. “I want to do more TV,” she says. “I love TV, and if TV coincides with my songwriting, I don’t have to give up one kid for the others. So I would love to do more. I want to be Oprah. At the end of the day, that’s my goal. … I mean, Kelly Clarkson is doing exactly how I want to do it. She’s amazing.””

Needless to say, Dean would be ecstatic if “Songland,” the show which co-stars Ryan Tedder and Shane McAnally as a panel of songwriters, mentors and producers there to find the best undiscovered writing talents, were picked up for a third season. After charting several No. 1 hits on iTunes, clearly people are listening, and artists like Luis Fonsi,...

“The Voice” finale will showcase the Top 5 singing live for America’s votes on Monday, May 18. Each of the five finalists — Thunderstorm Artis, CammWess, Toneisha Harris, Micah Iverson and Todd Tilghman — will get three chances to sing on the two-hour show. They will do covers and original tunes as well as duet with their coaches.

In this final round of the season 18 competition, the coaches are not evenly matched. Blake Shelton, who has won six of the first 17 seasons of “The Voice,” still has two artists in contention, including the last woman standing. The other three coaches — reigning champ Kelly Clarkson (she’s won three of her four seasons to date), one-time winner John Legend and rookie Nick Jonas — have one apiece.

“Songland” hitmakers Ester Dean, Shane McAnally and Ryan Tedder took a moment out of quarantining at home and Zoom songwriting sessions to host a listening party prior to the April 27 episode with guest H.E.R.

The NBC series is only three episodes into its new season and has already charted two No. 1s on iTunes — “Champagne Night” by Lady Antebellum reached the top of the iTunes country chart and No. 1 on the overall chart, and “Sway” by Luis Fonsi hit No. 1 on the Latin chart as well as the overall chart as well. Monday night’s winning “Wrong Places,” from former “Voice” contestant (and star of the Kevin Smith film “Jersey Girl”) Raquel Castro’s winning collaboration and recorded by H.E.R, is already at No. 2 on the R&b Soul chart and No. 3 overall.

The mission of the show is to highlight the process of songwriting and offer mentorship...

What's This TV Show About?

Airing on the NBC television network, Songland features successful singers looking for unknown songwriters to pen their next hit. In each episode, songwriters perform their original tracks before successful musical producers Ester Dean, Ryan Tedder, and Shane McAnally, and the guest artist of the week.
