What You Missed This Week in Country

Big chart heat, new tour dates, and a couple releases you’ll want on your radar.

Hey y’all — here’s your quick country catch-up as we roll into the weekend (Friday, February 6, 2026). A couple of these stories are moving fast, so consider this your “turn it up and keep it handy” update.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” Is Having a Moment

Ella Langley’s viral run keeps getting bigger. Her Miranda Lambert co-write “Choosin’ Texas” is sitting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart dated February 7, 2026 — and it’s also knocking on the door of the all-genre Hot 100, with coverage noting it’s hovering just behind the current No. 1 track. That’s rare air for any country artist, and especially for a newer one.

Also worth noting: People reports her sophomore album Dandelion is set for April 10, and she’s lining up a U.S. tour run from May through August.

Megan Moroney Locks In “Cloud 9” — Plus a New Video

Megan Moroney’s next chapter is right around the corner: Cloud 9 arrives February 20, 2026. She just dropped a music video for “Wish I Didn’t” (released January 16), and it’s got a full-on action storyline with Dylan Efron — definitely not your standard “stand and sing” clip.

If you’re a tour planner, Billboard Canada also has details on Moroney’s 2026 international dates tied to the Cloud 9 era.

Luke Combs Steps Away From a Super Bowl Week Show

Luke Combs has pulled out of a scheduled Madden Bowl concert performance ahead of Super Bowl LX, explaining it’s about being home as he and his wife Nicole are expecting their third baby any day now. Respect to that. Family first is a country song for a reason.

And don’t forget: his next album The Way I Am is slated for March 20, 2026.

Carín León Adds a Texas Stop on His 2026 Tour

Not strictly “country radio core,” but if you’re into the country-meets-regional wave happening right now, this is a headline. Grammy winner Carín León just announced a San Antonio date on his “Tour Norteamérica 2026,” hitting the Frost Bank Center on May 24. Tickets are set to go on sale February 13.

Blake Shelton Hits 30 at No. 1, Combs Keeps the Heat On

Big radio moves, brand-new singles, and a couple 2026 albums you’ll be hearing a lot about.

Alright y’all, grab that dial and lean into the speakers—country’s moving fast right now, and the songs you’re hearing everywhere are backing it up with some loud chart action.

Blake Shelton locks in a major radio moment

Blake Shelton just parked “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated January 17, 2026. That’s his 30th trip to the top of that radio mountain—so if it feels like Blake’s been living in your presets, you’re not wrong.

Luke Combs is right in the mix with a fresh one

Luke Combs dropped “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” on January 7, 2026, and it’s already sounding like one of those late-night, windows-down heartbreak fixes.

And keep this date circled: Combs’ next album, The Way I Am, is set for March 20, 2026—so what you’re hearing now is just the warm-up.

One more quick scoreboard note: “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales, so fans are buying it up in a hurry.

Zach Bryan’s new era is officially on the board

Zach Bryan rolled out With Heaven on Top on January 9, 2026, and it came out swinging—reports have it hitting No. 1 on the Billboard 200. If you’re hearing that Zach-heavy rotation vibe lately, that’s why.

Also landing in the fresh-file stack: Bryan’s single “Plastic Cigarette” arrived on January 16, 2026.

New single alert: Tucker Wetmore goes “Brunette”

If your playlist’s been begging for something brand-new, Tucker Wetmore just delivered: “Brunette” released January 12, 2026.

Heads up: Megan Moroney’s next album is coming soon

Another big one on the horizon: Megan Moroney’s album Cloud 9 is set to drop February 20, 2026. That’s close enough you can practically hear the countdown between songs.
