Yesterday the Songs of the Summer were announced. And Morgan Wallen just broke a 46-year-old record by becoming the first singer since 1978 to have the #1 song of the summer in back-to-back years. And he’s only the second artist EVER to accomplish this feat. The only other time it happened was when Andy Gibb, of Bee Gees fame, had the #1 summer song in 1977 with “I Just Want to Be Your Everything” . . . and then again in 1978 with “Shadow Dancing”. The champion this summer is “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone featuring Morgan . . . and last year it was “Last Night” that went to #1. Morgan also becomes the first singer ever to have a #1 summer song both as a featured and solo artist . . . And he is the only Country artist ever to have the Song of the Summer twice. What record will Morgan break next?

Megan Moroney just released her latest album “Am I Okay?” in July and she’s already teasing new music. Some people think it might be part of a deluxe album she plans on putting out. This new tune seems to be a natural follow up to her song “Third Time’s the Charm” on “Am I Okay?” . . . because the caption of her post was, “Soooo yeah the third time was in fact not the charm.” Here are some of the lyrics: “My daddy liked you, and that was a first . . . You promised him you’d be the man I deserved . . . Oh, too good to be true . . . Oh, we were wrong about you.” There’s no title for the new song yet, and no word on when it might be released, but everyone’s definitely eager to hear more from Megan.
Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s hit “I Had Some Help” finished #1 on Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart . . . and apparently, they may be looking to take the FALL CROWN as well.

I think I remember doing a verse, it was one of those long nights . . . that song is awesome too.” He added that he doesn’t know if Morgan will do anything with it or not.
If you were heading to Vegas for this next month, you got some tough news this week . . The first ever Giddy Up Music Festival went belly up instead.
