The CMA nominees and winners are voted on each year by the 7,300 individuals in the Country Music Association trade group, after three rounds of balloting.Singer Morgan Wallen leads this year with seven nominations, competing for the top prize, entertainer of the year, against Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson. Four of Wallen’s nominations came for the track I Had Some Help, his collaboration with Post Malone.
Cowboy Carter became the first album by a Black woman to reach No 1 on the Billboard top country albums chart. The single Texas Hold ’Em also became the first by a Black woman to claim the top spot on Billboard’s country song chart, as well as the all-genre Hot 100 chart. But despite this success, Cowboy Carter was given limited promotion on country radio stations, which is more important in shaping the industry’s preferences than mainstream avenues.
However, one of Beyoncé’s collaborators on Cowboy Carter, the singer Shaboozey, is nominated for best new artist and single of the year with A Bar Song , which has been the No 1 country song for the past 12 weeks, and also topped the Hot 100 chart for eight. Shaboozey is the first Black male artist to top the country chart and the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously.
