Fifty-nine years ago today, on March 27, 1965, Roger Miller‘s “King of the Road” hit No. 1 on the country charts. Produced by Jerry Kennedy, the song appears on 1965’s The Return of Roger Miller, and is an ode to the freewheeling road lifestyle. The protagonist of “King of the Road” hints at doing nefarious things to get by (he knows “every lock that ain’t locked when no one’s around”) but also knows all the shortcuts to surviving on a tight budget: “I sing, ‘Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, 50 cents / No phone, no pool, no pets / I ain’t got no cigarettes.” Miller recorded “King of th...

Fifty-three years ago today, on March 18, 1971, Lynn Anderson‘s Rose Garden album landed at the top of the charts — and stayed there for a staggering 14 weeks. Rose Garden‘s success was propelled in part by its title track, which was a No. 1 hit. However, the song, written by Joe South, was intended for a man. “It was popular because it touched on emotions,” Anderson told the Associated Press. “It was perfectly timed. It was out just as we came out of the Vietnam years, and a lot of people were trying to recover. “This song stated that you can make something out of nothing,” she continued. “Yo...

Fifty-four years ago today (March 14, 1970), Merle Haggard scored his ninth No. 1 hit with his single “The Fightin’ Side of Me.” The song comes from his live album of the same name. Haggard wrote “The Fightin’ Side of Me” in response to the military action in Vietnam: “Runnin’ down the way of life / Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep,” he sings in the tune. “If you don’t love it, leave it / Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’ / If you’re runnin’ down my country, man / You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me.” “The Fightin’ Side of Me” stayed at the top of the charts for three w...

Fourteen years ago today, on March 12, 2010, Miranda Lambert struck gold. It was on that date that her single “White Liar,” from her 2009 album Revolution, was certified Gold, for sales of 500,000 units. “White Liar,” written by Lambert and Natalie Hemby, was the second single released from Revolution. “I was listening to a lot of Buddy and Julie Miller,” Lambert recalls to The Boot about writing the hit song. “They have great music — somewhat bluegrass, but it’s pretty rockin’, too. I think I was influenced by them that day. “Natalie had the title, ‘White Liar,’ and we thought it was great,” ...

Der Mannheimer Rapper Apache 207 ist mit seiner neuen Single «Loser» alles andere als ein Verlierer: Der Song ist auf Platz zwei der höchste Neueinsteiger in den Single-Charts dieser Woche. Das teilte GfK Entertainment als Ermittler der Offiziellen Deutschen Charts mit. In dem Stück zeige der 26-Jährige eine sehr nachdenkliche Seite von sich, hatte Sony Music zur Veröffentlichung mitgeteilt. 2023 sei dank Rekorden und Auszeichnungen das Jahr für Apache 207 gewesen. «Umso überraschender ist es, dass sein neuester Track, mit dem er 2024 auf die Musikbühne zurückkehrt, ausgerechnet den Titel 'Los...

Eighteen years ago today (March 6, 2006) was a day to remember for Miranda Lambert. It was on that date that the singer earned her first gold single, signifying sales of 500,000 units, with “Kerosene.” “Kerosene” is the title track of and third single from Lambert’s debut album, released in 2005. The artist wrote the song by herself but gave co-writing credit to Steve Earle, as the tune is similar in melody and structure to his 1996 song “I Feel Alright.” “I didn’t purposefully plagiarize his song — but unconsciously I copied it almost exactly,” Lambert later explained (quote via CMT). “I gues...

Russia’s 10-year aggression against Ukraine has caused widespread and sure to be long-lasting damage to the country’s economy and demographics. Positive growth predictions were squashed following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region in 2014.
