CMA Awards Nominations Led by Newcomer Lainey Wilson

Congratulations go out to Lainey Wilson from the TCN family… Lainey hit #1 on the TCN charts this week and followed that up with six nominations for the 2022 CMA Awards.

The Country Music Association reports that Wilson is only the fourth person to pick up six nominations in an artist’s very first time at bat. Preceding her were Glen Campbell in 1968, Brad Paisley in 2000 and Kacey Musgraves in 2013.

The 56th annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville on ABC Nov. 9. Previously announced as co-hosts were Luke Bryan, returning from last year’s telecast, and a newcomer to the role, football player Peyton Manning.
