Hunter Hayes

Since Hunter Hayes' self-titled debut album has been so successful, his group of devoted followers (the Hayniacs) have been dying to hear some new tunes. Rest assured, the singer promises that there will be another album, but he's going to take time to make it completely genuine.

Congratulations to Dierks Bentley, winner of last week's showdown by a margin of nearly 3 to 1 over Dustin Lynch. This week there's a weather theme to the K-LAW Country Song Showdown.

Do you have a favorite newcomer to the country music scene? If so, now is your chance to vote for your favorite new artist. The Academy of Country Music and Great American Country announced that voting for the categories of New Female Vocalist, New Male Vocalist and New Vocal Duo or Group for the Academy of Country Music Awards will open on Monday, Jan. 21.

Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes are two country stars who have truly earned coveted slots on the upcoming '2013 Grammy Nominees' album, a 22-song collection that features the most critically-acclaimed songs of the year from some of music's biggest names.

Three Grammy nominations and the chart-topping success of his current single, 'Wanted,' aren't enough to satisfy Hunter Hayes. No -- the singer/songwriter/country phenom has soaring, plans and they include learning to fly. Cue that famous R. Kelly song! "I believe I can fly…"

The K-LAW Country Song Showdown is back after a holiday-themed showdown that saw Faith Hill's 'Where Are You Christmas' beat out Vince Vance & The Valiants with 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'. This week, we feature Hunter Hayes against Kelly Clarkson w/Vince Gill.

There are plenty of talented artists out there whose music you've never heard. After all, where would your favorite artists be without their record labels? To help undiscovered singers find their way, Hunter Hayes, Wynonna Judd, Craig Morgan and Dustin Lynch have agreed to judge the official Unsigned Only music competition.

Having the first chart-topping single of your career is a very big deal. Having that song top the charts for two weeks is even a bigger deal, as Hunter Hayes experienced earlier this year with his hit song, 'Wanted.'

If you're a  Hunter Hayes Hayniac, then you're definitely going to love the young country star's newest music video. Hayes' clip for 'Somebody's Heartbreak' is so fan-centric that you might even spot yourself in it!

Fast-rising star Hunter Hayes threw an interesting twist on announcing the nominees for Pop Vocal Album at Wednesday night's (Dec. 5) Grammy Nominations Concert, which broadcast live from Nashville. Instead of reading them from a list, the enterprising singer-songwriter sang a snippet of each nominated song.

Hunter Hayes has been added to the list of performers for this year's 'The Grammy Nominations Concert LIVE — Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night,’ the televised music event that kicks off the Grammy Awards voting season.

Hunter Hayes just happens to have one of the most coveted jobs a hot, 21-year-old country singer could have: opening for Carrie Underwood on her 2012 Blown Away Tour. Hayes should be feeling so confident that he's strutting his stuff back stage, but he recently dished to MTV that Underwood actually makes him nervous.
