“Gwen now has got a spot on anytime she wants it. We have the show kind of built around hoping Gwen shows up and comes out to sing.”

CMT, May 2023

“I was holding on to that big secret, and it was so hard to not tell anybody. By the way, Houston, you're welcome! That was my wife, Gwen Stefani!”

I'm surprised the horse song didn't win, but I'm glad Tracy won this honor. She has been singing in a genra blending space of blues/folk for 40 years and she deserves her honors.

Artists Of The Year 2023

So today we will be honoring our 10 Artists of the year for 2023 from the MSR (Midnight Star Report). So let's start right now.

Our first artist of the year goes to Jason Aldean. This is Jason's 5th time being an Artist of the Year. He has won in the years 2018 to 2021. Jason had two hits this year with songs like "That's what tequila does", & his "Try that in a small town". Jason kind of made people mad but they weren't really listening to the lyrics of the song. But he did get us talking about him, and that's what an artist needs to do to earn this honor.

How about a new artist of the year up next. Nate Smith is up next. He had 2 hits this year with songs like "Whiskey on you", & "World on fire". Nate scored a total of 8 times at number 1 with the two songs. Earning 1 of the last spots on the artist of the year. And he will probably start 2024 strong as well at the top.

Kane Brown is up next. Kane Brown will be earning his 4th artist of the year. Kane won the honor in 2019 to 2020, and once again 2022. Kane had 2 hits in 2023 with songs like "Bury me in Georgia", & his duet with his wife Kaitlyn "Thank God". Kane earned 10 times at number 1 with 2 songs.

Let's talk about the year for Lainey Wilson up next. Lainey had 4 songs at the top of the charts this year. Those songs are "Heart like a truck", & "Watermelon moonshine". And she even teamed up with the likes of both Hardy, & fellow artist of the year honoree Jelly Roll with songs "Wait in the truck" & "Save me". The CMT Video of the year was "Wait in the truck". Lainey scored 17 times at number one with 4 songs this year. This is Lainey first time earning artist of the year.

Now since we have already mentioned Jelly Roll earning his first ever artist of the year. Jelly was getting airplay all over the place. Jelly had 3 songs this year for a total of 16 times at number one. Those songs are "Save me" featuring Lainey Wilson, "Need a favor", & "Son of a sinner". Jelly Roll will continue to roll into the next year with momentum.

Up next is the only duo in consideration is Dan + Shay. This is Dan + Shay's third time being an Artist of the year. Dan + Shay have won in 2019, & 2021. Dan + Shay had 2 hits this year "You", & "Save me the trouble". They scored 3 times at number one with 2 songs.

Jordan Davis had a breakout year in 2023. Jordan had 2 hits this year with "What my world spins around", & "Next thing you know". Jordan scored 4 times number one with 2 songs. This is Jordan's first time being named an artist of the year.

Up next is Bailey Zimmerman. This is Bailey's first time being named an artist of the year. Bailey had songs like "Rock and a hard place", & "Religiously". Bailey had 14 times number one with the 2 songs. Bailey is going to be one of the artist to watch in the future for sure.

Luke Combs had another banner year. This is Luke's fifth year being named artist of the year. Luke earned the honor every year since 2019. Luke had hit songs this year like "Going, going, gone", "Love you anyway", & Tracy Chapman's "Fast car". Luke scored 17 times number one with the 3 songs. But one artist had a better year than Luke this year.

Morgan Wallen would be the sole artist of the year, if I had to only pick one. Morgan started the year on top with the song "You proof" which scored 4 times at number one. Then also later during the year, he scored 11 times number one "Thinkin' bout me". Morgan also had 7 times number with the song "Thought you should know". But his song of the year was "Last night" which earned a lot of honors this year including "The ultimate countdown 2023", "MSR 2023 Song of the year", "MSR Billboard Country Music Airplay Chart 2023". Morgan scored 18 times number one with "Last night". Morgan would have scored 4 songs with a total of 40 times at number one.

Thanks for taking the time to read this report for 2023. This list was created in part and thanks to CMT (Country Music Television), the Billboard Country Music Airplay Charts, & lastly the MSR (Midnight Star Report). See ya all next time.

I found out about this from a new station from my home town. I'm from central Texas. And I will admit I like a country music now and then, though I have been slowing breaking away from it over the years due to the way it is. Reba and Dolly are two of the few that are expecting people.

Anyway, with everything that's going on right now and the drag bans this woman just made a huge statement last night and it's that she's on our side and she did it in such a peaceful way. And let me tell you it upset some people but it sure made my morning.

[shefaniquotes]

“King has been writing a bunch of amazing songs. When it's your kid, it's like, you love everything, but this is next level to me. These are really good songs. So Blake said, ‘Hey, we got to go live now.’ It's so different than writing a song — being able to sing live is a whole 'nother thing.”

“So anyways we were talking about that and Blake has a bar in Tishomingo, where we live in Oklahoma, and he’s like, ‘Hey, I’m getting up to do some acoustic stuff, he should just get up and try to play a couple of his songs.’ So it was really casual. And we texted him, ‘Would you want to do this?’”

“So he hopped up there. I was bawling. It's crazy when you have children, and they learn what their gift is. You see their talent, and you're like, ‘Wow.’ I'm so happy for him that he has that outlet.”

Gwen, People Magazine, September 2023

“It was probably the most nerve-wracking music experience I’ve had in 20 years, and I would say for Gwen also. We know he wants to pursue music. He is seventeen years old, and he has already written some incredible music. But the one thing that he hadn’t done was live performing. We kind of felt like Tishomingo would be a safe place to do it and not get that much attention. That’s where we way miscalculated the whole thing. It just takes that one person there with their phone, which is totally fine, by the way, it just got a lot more attention than we thought it would. But, thank God, he did a great job. Nobody walked away thinking anything other than they got to be there the day this kid did his first basic — first live public performance. It was a magical night.”

Blake, CMT Hot 20, January 2024

“This is what Ole Red is all about. To give these new, developing artists a chance to perform and Kingston is a prime example of that. This stage is for him and The Voice contestants and bigger artists too.”

Blake, Entertainment Tonight, November 2023
