Today in country music, July 18.

On this day in 2011, Brad Paisley told Good Morning America what makes him nervous on stage… he said, "inadequacy… being unprepared, I don't like that feeling. I don't like it when I feel like I didn't do my homework."

Today in 2008, Kenny Chesney landed in the top 10 of Pollstar's top 100 single events… Kenny's "Poets & Pirates" stadium date in Pittsburgh was at #10.

George Strait snagged another #1 song as "Carrying Your Love With Me" topped the chart in 1997.

And on this day in 1991, Alan Jackson's album, was certified gold.

Don't Rock The Jukebox is the second studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released on May 14, 1991, and produced five singles on the Hot Country Songs charts; the title track, "Someday", "Dallas", and "Love's Got a Hold on You", which all reached Number One, and "Midnight in Montgomery" (a tribute song to Hank Williams) which reached #3. Fellow country music artist George Jones makes a cameo on the album, singing the last line on "Just Playin' Possum," ("The Possum" is one of Jones' nicknames.)
