Noah Kahn’s The Great Divide is sure off to a great start.

After debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 following its release in April, The Great Divide has already been certified Platinum by the RIAA less than three months later.

According to a press release, The Great Divide is one of only two albums released in 2026 that have been certified Platinum, and is the fastest Americana/folk album ever to reach Platinum status.

The Platinum milestone caps an eventful week for Kahan, who played four sold-out shows at Fenway Park in Boston between July 7 and 11. The performances, which featured surprise appearances by Boston sports legends Rob Gronkowski and David Ortiz, earned Kahan an induction into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame.

Kahan’s tour will continue Tuesday at Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

Drew Baldridge is serving “Maker’s Mark” as he releases the first song from the FAITH chapter of his upcoming album. 

The “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” hitmaker co-wrote the new song that features Anne Wilson. 

“‘Maker’s Mark’ is one of my favorite songs on the record,” Drew says. “At its core, it’s about the legacy a person leaves behind. That means loving others, giving back, and living with purpose and compassion. It’s a reminder to live like Jesus and leave a positive impact wherever life takes you, because above all else, being a good person matters most.”

You can check out the song’s new music video, which was shot in the foothills of Tennessee on a property previously owned by Alan Jackson.  

FARM FAITH FAMILY is set to arrive Sept. 18.

Meghan Patrick may currently be off the road as she awaits the birth of their first child, but she’s making good on her promise to keep working as much as she can. 

She’s just put out her first new music since the release of the deluxe Golden Child (The Final Chapter), named for her top-20 hit.  

“‘I Sure Hope So’ is about that moment of karmic deliverance where a happy and healed version of you runs into the person who nearly destroyed you,” Meghan says. “The one who broke your heart more than once but you still went back for more just to be hurt again, all because you didn’t love yourself enough to know you deserved better.”

“But that was the old you,” she continues, “and it’s clear the new version of you has changed, and they’ve noticed too. As they study your face searching for any sign of the ‘old you,’ they tease, ‘You’ve changed’… you smile triumphantly and say, ‘I sure hope so,’ because you know that insecure girl they’re looking for is long gone, and never coming back.”

Of course, the long-awaited baby is also the first child for Mitchell Tenpenny, who tied the knot with Meghan in October 2022.

The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is teasing a new song called “Paradise,” a track off his upcoming solo album, Thrasher.

“Back in October ’89, Phil Collins took ‘Another Day In Paradise’ from the working man,” Flowers writes in a Facebook post. “This Friday the 17th, I’ll be returning it to its rightful owner.”

It’s unclear what Flowers means exactly in referencing Collins’ “Another Day in Paradise,” though the song was criticized when it was originally released for its depiction of people experiencing homelessness.

Perhaps we’ll find out when Flowers’ “Paradise” seemingly drops on Friday.

Thrasher, Flowers’ third solo effort and his first in 11 years, drops Aug. 21. It also includes the previously released single “Plans.”

Flowers will launch a U.S. solo tour in September.
