Darius Rucker will receive the Triple Play Award from the Country Music Association. The honor will recognize Darius for having three consecutive number one hits in a 12-month period – “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” “It Won’t Be Like This For Long,” and “Alright.” Past Triple Play Award winners include Shania Twain, Toby Keith, and Alan Jackson. And speaking of Darius, it’s fun to see that he is offering two bonus tracks to fans that purchase his new album, Charleston, SC 1966, on iTunes. The bonus tracks are “Let Her Cry” and “Family Tradition” from his CMT Invitation Only performance.
