Welcome to The List,
If you check the Billboard Hot 100, you’ll see Morgan Wallen’s name a lot. Over a THIRD of the songs on there right now are his. Morgan’s album “One Thing at a Time” came out this month, and ALL 36 songs are now on the Hot 100 list. That’s a new record, and not just for country artists. The old record was rapper Drake with 27 in 2018. So Morgan has nine more than that. This only happens when a huge artist puts out a huge album . . . “huge” as in a ton of songs.

Over the past several years, Carly Pearce has picked up quite a few awards and accolades, including CMA awards, ACM, awards, multiple gold and platinum plaques, and most recently a Grammy award for “Never Wanted to be That Girl.” The Grammy trophy hasn’t arrived in the mail yet, but when it does, Carly knows exactly where she’s going to put it. “I have like an area now that has all of my awards. And my grandma, when she was little, used to sit around this really old radio from the 40s that my great grandfather always listened to. And he loved country music and listened to WSM all the time, and my parents for my induction into the Grand Ole Opry, they had it refurbished, the radio. And so it’s in my house now, and I think that the Grammy is gonna sit right on top of the radio.” Next up for Carly, she is nominated for two CMT Music Awards – Female Video of the Year for her current single, “What He Didn’t Do” and CMT Performance of the Year with LeAnn Rimes and Ashley McBryde, for their performance of “One Way Ticket” during CMT Crossroads: LeAnn Rimes & Friends. The awards are fan voted, and voting is open now at vote.CMT.com. The CMT Music Awards will air live from Austin, Texas, on Sunday, April 2nd, 7 CT on CBS.

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
