Ella Langley & Ripley Green Are Predicted to Win
Ella Langley appears unstoppable in country music right now. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter shot to fame on TikTok, resulting in her romantic duet with Ripley Green reaching number one on US Country Airplay.
As “You Look Like You Love Me” was loved across the United States and beyond, it was certified platinum and led to the release of her critically acclaimed album Hungover in August 2024.
Ella Langley has since received an incredible eight nominations at the 60th ACM Awards, earning the most nods at the awards show.
As she’s popular with the Academy and country music fans, BEO betting odds predict she’s the projected winner of Single of the Year, as she has a 69.25% chance of winning.
Shaboozey’s Hit Single Could Pick Up the Award
Like Ella Langley, Shaboozey is a first-time nominee who shot to fame with a fantastic song, resulting in the rapper/singer earning a Single of the Year nomination.
His hit song “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” broke chart records, spending 19 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100. As a result, he tied with “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X for the longest-running number-one song of all time.
In addition to earning two nominations at the ACM Awards 2025, Shaboozey’s song earned three nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards, and he also received a nomination for Best New Artist.
Due to the chart success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in the United States and overseas, BEO betting odds are showing it stands a good chance of winning Single of the Year at the 60th ACM Awards.
Post Malone & Morgan Wallen Are Dark Horses
“I Had Some Help” by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen debuted at the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and made history by remaining on both charts for five weeks.
Following the song’s chart performance and popularity among music fans, he’s a dark horse in the category, as the data predicts he could pick up the award.
