How Country Music Dominated 2024 — And Why 2025 Will Be Even Bigger
Country music had arguably its biggest year ever in 2024 thanks to artists like Shaboozey, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Beyonce and more
Twisters, one of 2024’s most massive blockbusters, had an all-country soundtrack featuring songs by the likes of Miranda Lambert, Luke Combs and Thomas Rhett, while pop stars including Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Sabrina Carpenter incorporated country sounds in their music (see “Die With a Smile” and “Slim Pickins”).
