Trace Adkins will be performing in Evansville, Indiana for a charity event with MLB legend and Evansville native, Don Mattingly.

Mattingly Charities is a great organization here in the Evansville area. The Evansville-based non-profit was founded by Don Mattingly and his wife, Lori, with the intention of helping underserved youth in the Evansville area through the game of baseball. Over the years, the organization has branched out to help other youth-focused organizations by providing funding in the form of grants to those organizations for projects and programs that work with young people in the community. Each year, Mattingly Charities holds a big fundraising event to raise money for the organization. Over the past few years, one of the biggest events they held has been concerts. They have brought in Mitchell Tenpenny and Jameson Rodgers in years past, and this year's concert is going to be the biggest one yet!

Every Country Music Hit to Top the Billboard Hot 100 Chart

In 2023, three songs have hit No. 1 on both the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's Country Airplay chart. Before that, just 20 songs had accomplished this. Here's the full list of those songs, including the five artists who have done it twice.

Oliver Anthony is the latest to accomplish this feat: In August 2023, his song "Rich Men North of Richmond" debuted at No. 1 on both charts.
