There is no better time to be a country fan than in 2024. Modern-day legends like Beyoncé and Post Malone are commencing their first foray into the genre. Meanwhile, stars Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson continue to lead the charts.

Tanner Adell
Tanner Adell might be living every artist's dream—landing a feature on Queen Bey's historic album, opening Stagecoach Music Festival and signing onto a Sony Music record label, all in one year. It makes sense, given Tanner's catchy and confident quips on tracks like "Buckle Bunny" and "Trailer Park Barbie."

Alana Springsteen
Contrary to what her name suggests, Alana Springsteen isn't related to the "Boss," aka Bruce Springsteen. However, her hits are equally as catchy. Listen to her latest track, "Hot Honey," a fast-paced fusion of dance and country. Those seething lyrics and twangy beats won't disappoint you.
