During the eligibility period for the 58th CMA Awards, which spanned from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, several artists from both country and beyond made significant waves on the charts. Country music legends Jason Aldean, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and rising star Oliver Anthony Music all topped the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. They were joined by crossover artists like Beyoncé, Post Malone, and Kacey Musgraves, whose success further highlights the genre’s expanding influence.
The list of potential nominees doesn’t stop there. Artists such as Chayce Beckham, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, and Lainey Wilson also enjoyed considerable success on country radio during the same period, contributing to one of the most diverse and dynamic fields in recent memory.
With over two dozen chart-topping and critically acclaimed artists in contention, the 2024 CMA Awards is shaping up to be a night full of surprises and unforgettable performances.
