With their unexpected Single of the Year victory for "I Run To You" and displacing Rascal Flatts as the Vocal Group of the Year, Lady Antebellum leads this week's chart rundown as the trio leads country music's Hot 200 Albums chart dominance along with a few others.

Watch this sterling performance from CMT's Invitation Only program.

Taylor Swift seemingly shocked the country music world when she took home the award for Female Vocalist of the Year at last night's 43rd CMA Awards.  The 19 year-old superstar broke records once again by taking that award and three more awards.

Well folks, here you have it.  The final two categories to predict before tonight’s CMA Awards telecast (ABC TV 8pm E/W).  We’ve saved what are usually the two most ‘important’ categories, Album of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, for last.

Carrie Underwood is this week's chart queen as her third album Play On debuts on the top spot of the charts.  Teen Queen Taylor Swift's venerable Fearless album follows next and this week saw a remarkable sales growth for virtually every country release.

Here is our fourth of five installments of predictions for the 43rd CMA Awards show that will be broadcast Wednesday, November 11, 2009 on ABC TV.  These two categories may just be the hardest categories to predict as each song nominated is worthy of the nod.

For our third round of five rounds of CMA Award Show Predictions, we discuss who we think will win the Male Vocalist of the Year and the Female Vocalist of the year during "Country Music's Biggest Night?"  Who did we choose and why? Click here to find out!

You better take this from me: Carrie Underwood’s Play On is like a disease.  This disease is one that assaults your senses so that you are now listening to contemporary country pop record.  Is this good or bad? Or is it both?

Carrie Underwood leads an unusually small slate of 4th Quarter releases.  Typically the month of November is full of new releases for the holiday season but perhaps last month's star-packed treatment will suffice for 2009's holiday season.  Big Kenny and Jimmy Wayne release new albums as well.
