Morgan Wallen departed the company’s management operations — which wound down at the end of last year — for his longtime agent Austin Neal, but he continues to put points on the board for Big Loud’s label. His collaboration with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, while Wallen’s “Love Somebody” debuted at No. 1 on the same chart. He also took home entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards and his third country artist of the year at the Billboard Music Awards, tying him with Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift for most category wins. Big Loud singer-songwriter ERNEST, a co-writer on “I Had Some Help,” received two Academy of Country Music Award nominations and released his love letter to Music City’s creative community with the album Nashville, Tennessee. Big Loud also teamed with Miranda Lambert for the launch of label Big Loud Texas, while Big Loud Rock expanded its Los Angeles team. Says Wiseman: “Love that some of our Big Loud dreams and schemes are coming together.”
