Here are the artists that came out of nowhere -- and shot to the top -- in 2019.

Whatcha think?

Green’s breakthrough song disappeared from streaming services in October following controversy over lyrics that reference Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

Riley Green explains that he first encountered Josh Thompson, the artist who originally recorded this song, as a fan.

Riley Green shares an acoustic take of "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" for Taste of Country's RISERS series.

Sure, some of these artists have won Grammys -- but the best kind of "grammy" is the kind that makes you home-baked chocolate chip cookies.

"You really run into situations where it seems like, 'Okay, this song seems like it's gonna be perfect for this person,'" Chris Young says.

The singer and his co-writer, Erik Dylan, share where they were the first time they heard "There Was This Girl" on country radio.

The singer's parents are supportive, but when he goes home, he says he's "just Riley."

Plus, the singer discusses what he learned on tour with Brad Paisley, and what he's looking forward to during his Fall 2019 headlining tour.
