The final programme of 2025 reflects on a defining year for country music, covering key milestones, crossover success, and standout albums. Opening with Nate Smith’s World on Fire, which topped the country airplay charts early in the year, the show revisits Cody Johnson’s CMA-winning Leather, Post Malone’s venture into country with F1 Trillion, and the continued rise of Kelsea Ballerini and Kacey Musgraves. Major industry moments include the C2C and Stagecoach festivals, Garth Brooks’ legal dispute, and Randy Travis’ AI-assisted single. The episode highlights releases from Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, and the Petty Country tribute record. The year closes with reflections on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and a preview of exciting plans for the show in 2025.
