MORGAN WALLEN has achieved an elite achievement by landing at the top of the Billboard Pop Charts with I Had Some Help, his collaboration with POST MALONE. The tune is only the second in country music to top both the Billboard Country Airplay and Billboard Pop Airplay charts in the Soundscan era (1990 for country, 1992 for pop), the first being TAYLOR SWIFT’s Love Story, which topped the country chart in late November of 2008 and went on to top the pop chart in February of 2009.

TRISHA YEARWOOD unknowingly helped launch the acting career of Matthew McConaughey. Back in 1992, she needed an extra for her Walkaway Joe music video and Matthew got the part. Within a few years, he became a household name.
