CMT dropped its list of the Most Promising Acts in Country Music for 2024, and 14 incredible young artists made the cut. The list is part of the network’s highly-anticipated 2024 CMT Listen Up campaign, which recognizes and supports country music’s most promising newcomers — such as Alana Springsteen and American Idol champ Chayce Beckham — across CMT platforms. 

The year-long initiative is committed to raising support for these artists via full cross-brand support for their music and videos across CMT and CMT Music, CMT Hot 20 Countdown, CMT.com and @CMT social platforms, in addition to opportunities across the Paramount Media Networks brand portfolio with live events, the Paramount Times Square NYC Billboard and more.
