- Dierks Bentley
- Luke Combs
- Thomas Rhett
- Chris Stapleton

Luke Combs’ name was read as the winner!
Combs has been unstoppable since he broke out on the scene in 2017. He has nine consecutive number one singles, all of which are certified Gold or above, with some even being certified 4x Platinum! In the past year, he has released an album, What You See Is What You Get, which is certified Platinum and went to number one on the country albums chart. He was set out on a sold-out tour, but that was cut short.
Congratulations, Luke Combs on this well-deserved win! He also won Album of the Year!
Watch his music video for his latest single, “Lovin’ On You.”
