Nashville country singer Whitney Duncan may be set to star on 'Survivor: South Pacific' this fall, but that doesn't mean she has forgotten about her cousin Holly Bobo, who is still missing since being kidnapped from her home in April. In a new promo for the show, Duncan sports pink bracelets that read "Hope for Holly" and "Bring Holly Home" in honor of her cousin.

As the nation prepares to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Alan Jackson has been asked to play at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Pistol Annies make all the right moves on their debut album, available today, August 23. The 10 songs on 'Hell on Heels' were sown somewhere in Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe or Angaleena Presley's previous lives.

They were kind enough to share a few pictures

This week, Dierks Bentley scores his eighth career No. 1 hit, as he takes his latest single, 'Am I the Only One,' to the top of both the Billboard country singles and the Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts. Last week, 'Am I the Only One' topped Billboard's country singles chart in Canada, as well.

With a thunderous applause, Scotty McCreery brought the NASDAQ trading day to an end on Monday, August 22, ringing the closing bell at precisely 4PM ET. The 'American Idol' winner was flanked by a number of his tourmates, and a couple dozen young kids and teenagers. Everyone was very excited to see the stock exchange finish with a modest 3.54 point gain.

Jason Aldean continues his tour of rural, small town America on his new single, 'Tattoos on This Town.' It's a theme that has worked well for the singer recently, and it's far from getting old.
