The album’s first single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and debuted atop the Hot Country Songs chart.

Nominees for CMA Entertainer of the Year are Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, and Jelly Roll. While the CMA Album of the Year nominees are Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves, Fathers & Sons by Luke Combs, Higher by Chris Stapleton, Leather by Cody Johnson, and Whitsitt Chapel by Jelly Roll.
