Fifteen of the most popular country crossover songs will be the subject of a new ABC special that will air Nov. 2 at 10 p.m. ET. The one-hour special is titled Countdown to the CMA Awards: Country’s Greatest Crossover Hits With Robin Roberts.

Brett Eldredge, Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Carrie Underwood will be performing their versions of the classic songs on the show. In addition, the special includes appearances by Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Lee Greenwood, Randy Houser, Sam Hunt, Rascal Flatts, Thomas Rhett, The Band Perry, Steven Tyler, Keith Urban, and Chris Young.

According to ABC press materials:

These songs are country to the core yet borderless on Billboard charts. They are the 15 songs that blended or transcended traditional classifications to become universal anthems. They reached outside traditional country music boundaries to reach new audiences and are the songs that have inspired movies, movements, and mega-hits.

In addition, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live will build up to the CMA Awards with performances from Kelsea Ballerini, Brett Eldredge, Kip Moore, Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood, Chris Young and more. From Oct. 31–Nov. 1, ABC Radio will also feature a two-hour special hosted by Roberts featuring an in-depth look at this year’s CMA Awards nominees and songs.

The CMA Awards will air live from Nashville on Nov. 4 on ABC.
