Zach Bryan and Beyoncé are the leading nominees for the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, with 19 and 17 nods, respectively. They are followed in the nominations tally by Kacey Musgraves (15), Shaboozey (12), Kane Brown and Morgan Wallen (11 each) and then Luke Combs (10).
Thus, three of the top six nominees are Black, something that would have seemed unlikely at a country music awards show not too many years ago.

Wallen was the leading nominee for last year’s inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards, with 11 nods, though he received just three awards. Jelly Roll was last year’s top winner, with four awards.
The show has added six new categories this year, all of them song categories: female song, male song, group/duo song, cover song, new artist song and storyteller song.
Nine of this year’s 18 categories are devoted to songs. Six are artist awards and one each are for albums, music videos and concert tours.
Hosted by Shania Twain, the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards will air live Thursday, Sept. 26, at 8 p.m. ET/PT across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. Twain is the only woman in the running for The Concert Tour of 2024. She is nominated for Shania Twain: Come on Over – The Las Vegas Residency – All the Hits!
Three of the eight artists nominated for the top award, The People’s Artist of 2024, are women: Beyoncé, Musgraves and Lainey Wilson. This is up from two women in the finals in this category last year. The five men nominated in the category this year are Brown, Combs, Wallen and Bryan (who were also nominated in this category last year) plus Jelly Roll (who is nominated in this category for the first time).
Bryan has two of the eight nominees for The Song of 2024: “I Remember Everything” (feat. Musgraves) and “Pink Skies.” He also has two of the eight nominees for The Collaboration Song of 2024: “I Remember Everything” (feat. Musgraves) and “Hey Driver” (feat. The War and Treaty).
Beyoncé has two of the eight nominees for The Female Song of 2024: “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ’Em.” She also has two of the eight nominees for The Cover Song of 2024: her updates of The Beatles’ “Blackbiird” and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
Post Malone has two of the eight nominees for The Music Video of 2024: “I Had Some Help” (feat. Wallen) and “Pour Me a Drink” (feat. Blake Shelton). Musgraves has two of the eight nominees for The Storyteller Song of 2024: “Deeper Well” and “Too Good to Be True.”
With 12 nominations, Shaboozey is the likely front-runner to win The New Artist of 2024 (which Jelly Roll won last year). He faces Chase Matthew, Chayce Beckham, Dasha, Koe Wetzel, Nate Smith, Tucker Wetmore and Warren Zeiders.
The show bills itself as “an award show for the people and by the people.” Winners are chosen entirely by the fans. Voting begins now and runs through Friday, Aug. 23, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Nick Cave, the enigmatic frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, opened up about his music, personal tragedies, and upcoming album during a revealing appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Aug. 13.

Cave’s new album, Wild God, set for release on Aug. 30, marks a shift in his musical journey.
“It’s essentially a joyful, uplifting kind of record,” the Australian singer explained, adding, “This record is some years on from events that happened in my life that sort of required my music to be different in a way.” Cave was referring to the devastating losses he has endured – the death of his son Arthur in 2015, followed by the passing of his son Jethro in 2022.
Trending on Billboard
Reflecting on the power of music, the acclaimed songwriter described it as “one of the last legitimate opportunities we have for a transcendent experience.”
However, the music legend shared deep concerns about the impact of AI on creativity: “I think there’s forces out there that that are expressly designed to take the creative act away from us, especially with AI as it’s coming out at the moment, to purely industrialize it, to create music as simply a product and to take away the actual creative experience.” The frontman of The Bad Seeds emphasized, “That worries me a lot.”
The multi-award-winning artist revealed a profound experience of recording with Johnny Cash, his musical hero.
“When I got there quite early at the studio and when he arrived, he was not well at all,” Cave recalled. “He was a sort of terrifying apparition of a man.”
The influential musician vividly described the moment: “He sat down with me and he said, ‘Look, you know, I’ve had the flu, I’ve had laryngitis, I have no voice. I’ve never asked Jesus for anything, but I had to perform with you today. Last night I dropped down on my knees and I said, ‘Jesus, I got to sing with Nick. Give me back my voice.’”
Despite Cash’s frail health, Cave witnessed an extraordinary transformation: “He transformed from this sort of suffering individual into something really extraordinary, literally before my eyes.”
On grief and healing, the he reflected, “We must be able to turn ourselves the other way and look at the world and understand that we are part of the world.”
Cave added, “I saw the world not as a cruel place but as an extraordinarily systemically beautiful place to live in.” The Australian music legend offered a perspective on finding joy after profound loss: “There is joy and happiness in a way you never believed possible on the other side of grief. It’s a difficult, it’s a terrible truth about grief that ultimately you feel you can feel joy in a way that you never thought you could.”
The conversation also touched on the importance of small acts of kindness. The influential musician recounted a memorable interaction: “I went into a vegetarian takeaway restaurant… I gave her the money and she handed me back the change and just squeezed my hand as she gave me back the money. This I’ll never forget because it was so beautifully, quietly articulate.”
As for Wild God, the multi-award-winning artist described it as “a warm embrace,” suggesting that fans can expect a more uplifting experience when the album drops on Aug. 30.

After a two-week break for the Paris Summer Olympics, America’s Got Talent returned on Aug. 13 with the first of four live quarterfinal rounds.
Eleven acts took the stage, but it was Peoria, IL, native Liv Warfield who stole the show with her powerful rendition of “The Unexpected,” a song written for her by Prince.
Warfield, who had already made waves with her Golden Buzzer-winning audition, brought an emotional intensity to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium that left the judges in awe.

Backed by her horn-laden band, she delivered a performance that Simon Cowell described as “unbelievable.” “If this was the Olympics for singing, you would have won the gold medal,” Cowell said. “It felt to me like all those years you’ve been climbing the ladder to where you want to be, it all came out in those three minutes.”
Trending on Billboard
Sofia Vergara was equally impressed, calling Warfield’s performance “Perfection,” and adding, “Your outfit, your voice, the song—it’s amazing to have an artist like you here with us.”
Howie Mandel, a self-proclaimed Prince fan, offered his own high praise. “I’m a huge Prince fan, and he knew what he was doing when he gave you this gem. That was a million-dollar performance. America is crazy if they don’t vote for you, that’s your drop-the-mic moment.”
Warfield’s connection to Prince is both deep and personal. As a former member of his New Power Generation, she was mentored by the legendary artist, who not only shaped her career but also wrote “The Unexpected” specifically for her.
In a heartfelt pre-performance interview, Warfield reflected on her journey: “I’ve been grinding for a long time. Backing up Prince was a dream. But I still haven’t reached the heights I know I can reach. The golden buzzer … when I got home I cried in the car … I cried hard. I didn’t think this would be happening. I’m just everyday people.”
The audience’s response was immediate, with fans taking to social media to voice their support. One commenter noted, “Liv is one of the most talented people that AGT introduced to me,” while another added, “The fact she shared a stage with Prince and sang a song he wrote for her—that alone is amazing. You got my vote.”
As the live rounds continue, Warfield stands out as a top contender, with many eagerly awaiting her next performance.
In addition to her success on AGT, Warfield has made notable achievements on the Billboard charts. Her album The Unexpected reached No. 3 on the Top R&B Albums chart in 2014, and her single “Stay – ‘Soul Lifted’” made an impact on Adult R&B Airplay.

Naming their son was not an easy feat for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott.
The makeup mogul sat down with British Vogue recently, where she revealed that she and Travis Scott’s two-year-old son, Aire, originally had a series of different names. “It hit me differently both times,” she said of the postpartum hormonal changes she experienced with her two children. “Probably with my son it was major baby blues, so I was just so emotional over things that I probably wouldn’t be that emotional about [typically]. On the phone with my mom all day hysterically crying, saying, ‘I can’t figure out his name.’ Now my advice to all my friends having children is pick the name before, because when the hormones hit you can’t make decisions. You can’t,” she cries. “When I met him, he was just the most beautiful thing to me and I couldn’t believe just how perfect he was. I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t name him. He deserved so much more than that. It just really triggered me.”
She continued, “My son’s name was actually Knight for a long time and my daughter, still to this day, is like, ‘Do you remember when Aire’s name was Knight?’ And I’m like, ‘No.’ And she’s like, ‘That was so funny, Mom. I like Knight better.’ And I’m like: ‘You know what, we are not doing this again.’”

The former couple had first said Aire’s name was Wolf after Jenner gave birth in February 2022. But by March, Jenner clarified that her son’s name changed after realizing it didn’t fit his personality.
Jenner also opened up about co-parenting with the rapper. “If I’m away, for example, if I’m here, they’re with their father,” she said of the two children, who split their time between California and their father’s place in Texas.

“As always, we want to give sincere thanks to our fans, as well as supporters at radio and media,” Jorge Hernández, frontman for Los Tigres del Norte, tells Billboard. “We feel blessed and proud for the opportunity to be a voice for our community through such a long career and that our music is still so strongly embraced to reach the top of the charts. It drives us to keep creating and playing live.”
Trending on Billboard
“Aquí Mando Yo” was released May 31 as the title track of the five-song EP on RMS/Fonovisa/UMLE. The song, inspired by the Mexican American former professional wrestler Héctor Guerrero, and which translates to “I’m in command here,” takes the lead on Regional Mexican Airplay with a 23% increase in audience impressions, to 7.8 million, logged during the Aug.2-8 tracking week, according to Luminate.
That move makes Los Tigres del Norte the newest member of an elite club, among the five groups with at least 17 champs or more since Regional Mexican Airplay began in 1994. Plus, Los Tigres del Norte now tie with La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho for the fifth-most, both acts with 17 rulers. Here are those winning members and their No. 1s:

Prior to “Aquí Mando Yo,” the norteño group led the ranking through “En Dónde Estabas” for two weeks in March 2022. Its first No. 1, however, dates back almost three decades, the eight-week champ “Golpes En El Corazón” in 1995.
Diving further into the radio ranks, “Aquí Mando Yo” also moves to No. 2 on the overall Latin Airplay chart for Los Tigres Del Norte’s highest ranking since 1997, when “El Mojado Acaudalado” ruled for two weeks in July 1997.
The latest chart feats for Los Tigres del Norte follow their recent resumed tour Aquí Mando Yo, which began August 3rd in El Paso, Texas, and will take the corridos group across over 50 performances throughout the U.S., Mexico, Latin America and Spain, in addition to their first show at Madison Square Garden set for May 2025.
