The duo – Preston Brust and Chris Lucas – co-authored the song with Zach Abend and Andy Albert. It was produced by Jacob Rice.
In early 2024, LOCASH originated Galaxy Label Group in partnership with Studio2Bee Entertainment, founded by veteran Nashville music executives Skip Bishop and Butch Waugh.
“Seeing ‘Hometown Home’ sitting at the top of the Billboard chart has been amazing in ways we couldn’t imagine,” Brust and Lucas tell Billboard in a joint statement. “It’s our first No. 1 since we went all in and bet on ourselves and launched our own record label. We get to appreciate this hit on so many levels: as writers, artists and as record label executives. This song is so special. It’s been epic watching it land on people’s hearts. It just feels different bringing this one ‘home.’ ”
LOCASH previously topped Country Airplay when “I Know Somebody” led for a week in October 2016. The tandem ends the longest break between No. 1s – eight years, six months and two weeks – since David Lee Murphy went more than 22 years between leaders in 1995-2018. Among duos or groups, LOCASH ends the longest gap between No. 1s since Alabama waited more than 17 years (1993-2011).
LOCASH has notched two additional Country Airplay top 10s among its 14 chart entries (including its first five under the billing LoCash Cowboys): “I Love This Life” reached No. 2 in January 2016 and “One Big Country Song” also hit No. 2 in August 2020.
Last June, “Hometown Home” became LOCASH’s first Country Airplay entry since “Beach Boys” dented the chart (No. 58 peak) in 2022. The latter is co-billed with actual Beach Boys Mike Love and Bruce Johnston.
Gabbard calls Trump the “Peace President” despite his support of attacks on Yemen and Gaza
DNI Tulsi Gabbard labeled Donald Trump the "President of Peace" for his Middle East diplomacy (e.g., Abraham Accords) and pledged to end global conflicts, contrasting him with Joe Biden.
But Trump's record undermines this claim — he supports U.S. airstrikes in Yemen (killing civilians) and backs Israel's assault on Gaza, which has caused mass Palestinian […]
