Hunter Hayes knows what he’s looking for in a relationship…a best friend. Hunter says his favorite thing to do is just sit with a girl and talk for hours.  Although music is Hunter’s main squeeze right now -- and he'll be spending Valentine’s Day on the Blown Away tour with Carrie Underwood -- he says he’s open to getting to know someone special and falling in love.

Brad Paisley is back on top this week!  His song “Southern Comfort Zone” is the #1 song on the country charts.  It’s the first #1 he’s had since his “Remind Me” duet with Carrie Underwood.  It’s also the first release from his upcoming album Wheelhouse – due in stores April 9^th.

The Band Perry has released a short viral video, with the hash-tag “Are You With Us” to tease a big announcement they’re making tomorrow.  Could that be the possible title of their sophomore project?  So far, The Band Perry has announced that their yet-to-be titled sophomore album will arrive in stores on April 2^nd.

Zac Brown is truly hands on when it comes to all aspects of The Zac Brown Band.  They've spent the last few years building an empire of sorts. In addition to writing and recording their own music, the group has been busy expanding their brand with concepts like their Southern Ground Music & Food Festivals, their own Southern Ground record label, merchandising, and the list goes on.  Zac says that they're finally in a position to control every aspect of their business and music.
