Jelly Roll has earned his sixth consecutive No. 1 at country radio with “I Am Not Okay.” The tune sits at the top of both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay chart.

Co-written by the artist, Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley and Casey Brown, the track is featured on Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken album, and served as the official lead single. The song is also No. 1 at Canadian country radio, top 10 at Hot AC, top 20 at Top 40 and No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“Thank you to country radio, the team and the label for taking the first single from the Beautifully Broken album to No. 1,” he shared with Billboard. “And to everyone who has supported this song along the way. I believe in the power that music has to connect with people, and being able to see the response out on the road touring and seeing and hearing from people about this song, it’s been unreal. I want to thank the other co-writers, Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley and Casey Brown, for creating something that is incredible and that I am so proud of. Thank you to the fans for believing in the music and for being a part of this—for calling the stations and asking to hear it. If you had told me before that I would have six consecutive No. 1s at country radio, I wouldn’t have believed you. Thank you for continuing to shine a light on therapeutic music.”

Jelly Roll is currently nominated for three CMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year. He is also on his “Beautifully Broken Tour,” which will end with a homecoming show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 26.

Reliant Talent Agency has moved its headquarters to a new office at Broadwest (1610 West End Avenue, Suite 120, Nashville, Tennessee) as part of its continued growth. The new space will allow for the agency to increase operations as it furthers its mission of creating live event experiences.

The company has also announced a series of additions and promotions.

With over a decade of industry experience and a notable four-year tenure as a leader in the Paradigm (now Wasserman) Festival department, Keith Richards joins Reliant’s growing Festival department.

“I couldn’t be more excited to dive back into the festival world alongside the incredible team at Reliant” says Richards. “Their dedication to developing and sustaining long-lasting artist careers matches my own passion for creating unforgettable experiences at music festivals across North America. I’m incredibly grateful to Steve [Lassiter], Heath [Baumhor] and Matt [McGuire] for this opportunity, and I’m eager to contribute to the remarkable growth Reliant has achieved over the past three years.”

Additionally, Reliant has promoted Ron Kaplan and Garry Buck to Executive Vice Presidents. Kailey Edgerton, Cole Speed and Robert Baugh have risen from Coordinators to Agents.

Edgerton will continue her work in the Fairs and Festivals department, leveraging her extensive background in live entertainment. Speed, after beginning his career at Reliant following his graduation from Belmont University, will now manage clubs and theaters in the mid-south territory, with a focus on expanding the Texas country roster. He also works with Kody West, Kyle Park, Coffey Anderson and Tyler Reese Tritt. Baugh, having developed his expertise through roles at WME and touring with Alan Jackson, will aid in the growth of the country roster at Reliant. Baugh works with Danielle Bradbery, Everette, Tiera Kennedy and Brian Kelley.

Industry members gathered at a private hangar at Nashville International Airport to celebrate the official launch of Autobus, Jeremy Maul‘s new boutique tour bus venture in partnership with Prevost, and welcome Dan Ryan‘s Ryan Aviation Group to Music City.

During the event, Maul presented a model of his luxury X3-45 VIP Entertainer tour bus, and Ryan’s team brought in a Gulfstream G-IV SP jet, one of the first to be fully equipped with the newest Starlink technology.

Guests were provided with craft cocktails and culinary treats courtesy of The Electric Jane and its new private membership club, which is currently expanding to include a cigar lounge. ACM New Male Artist of the Year winner and CMA New Artist of the Year nominee Nate Smith rounded out the night by performing his hits “World On Fire” and “Whiskey On You,” among other tunes.

“I am just blown away that all you people have showed up here today. This is insane,” expressed Ryan to attendees. “We’re not here to sell anything, just to put a vibe together, meet people and have a good time. We’re here to say thank you, thank you for welcoming us to Nashville. We strive to make people feel special. We put our heart into it. And we don’t care about all the stuff that goes into the lax and luxury—we pay attention to it, but if you’re not putting your heart in it and not making people feel special, then we’re not doing our job.”

“This event stemmed from a little vision that Dan and I had on our morning runs of bringing two companies together in Nashville,” shared Maul. “Both of us moved here from California a few years ago and have synergies between us, and we want to bring good people together.”

Fans packed into Exit/In on both Thursday (Oct. 31) and Friday (Nov. 1) night for two sold-out shows from breakout country star Ella Langley.

On Halloween evening, Langley was joined by Carter Faith and Madeline Edwards. Faith and Meg McRee supported her on Friday night.

When Langley hit the stage, she got the Friday crowd pumped with single “Paint The Town Blue” before thrilling them with “Country Boy’s Dream Girl” and “Nicotine.” It was clear she was ready to celebrate her first headlining tour stop in Nashville from her charming interactions with the crowd and the energy in her performance.

“I’ve been dreaming of this shit my whole life,” Langley said at one point before she and her band took a shot out of a “drinking horn.”

Langley encouraged the room to get rowdy, covering Gretchen Wilson‘s “Here For The Party” with verve. She brought McRee back out to perform “I Blame The Bar” from her 2024 album Hungover, which the two co-wrote with Chris LaCorte and Joybeth Taylor.

The fans that gathered to see Langley completely bought-in to the Alabama native’s charisma, wit and talent. The gals in the crowd pumped their fists to “Better Be Tough,” pointing up at Langley while she sang “you ain’t seen crazy ’til you seen me all pissed off comin’ down your street.” They showed the same enthusiasm for “Girl Who Drank Wine,” a creative triumph from her Hungover record.

Langley took a few moments throughout the show to share her gratitude for the journey she’s been on since arriving in town in 2019. “I wouldn’t be here without the people who believed in me,” she said, encouraging any artists in the room to find their tribe. She then played “If You Have To,” her first breakout song, for her OG fans.

The singer-songwriter commanded the room with an acoustic guitar on “Cowgirl Don’t Cry” and “Girl You’re Taking Home.” She then brought McRee, Faith and Maggie Antone out for a spirited sing-along of “Cowboy Friends,” which made for one of the night’s highlights.

After the Exit/In audience showed Langley some love with their volume on her newly-released “Weren’t For The Wind,” they turned it up to 10 when it came time for her smash hit “You Look Like You Love Me,” which hit the top of the MusicRow Radio Chart that morning and is well on its way on Billboard and Mediabase charts.

Langley delivered both the sung and spoken parts of the tune like a pro, all through a glittering grin. A fun treat for attendees, she shared the original second verse of “You Look Like You Love Me” that was in place before Riley Green added his part to the hit.

With a smile and a wink, Langley left the stage only to return for an encore.

She will continue “The Hungover Tour,” all of which sold out in 24 hours, on Nov. 7 and 8 in Texas. She will also support Cody Johnson’s “Leather Tour” on Nov. 9 in Arlington, Texas.
