Every year there is a group of new artists trying for country stardom and one of 2008's brightest newcomers is Ashton Shepherd.

This week Taylor Swift has seen her debut record return to the top of Billboard's "Top Country Albums" chart, in it's 84th week of release while Brad Paisley remains at Number One with "I'm Still A Guy."

Jeff Bates had to overcome a lot in his personal live to even make it as a country star. After two albums on RCA, Bates returns with an interesting new self-titled record.

Newcomer Julianne Hough had a week to remember as her debut, self-titled record scored a lofty debut on the Billboard charts.

The path to country music stardom has rarely gone through Salt Lake City, Utah or London, England. The fact that Julianne Hough’s path to music city took her through both cities is unprecedented.

Sugarland chose the 43rd annual ACM Awards show to debut the first single from their third album. It's catchy but is it what they should be recording?

In an unusual move, Capital Nashville has chosen to release a "Greatest Hits" album only 3 albums into his career. Instead of 'just releasing' it, the artist involved his fans in the creation of it.

Consistency has always been the hallmark of longevity in any career. If you looked up the word in the country music dictionary, you might just find George Strait.

It was a big week on the charts for Toby Keith and James Otto. Both scored Number 1 hits on the album and single charts, respectively.
