Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs Are Top Winners at 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards: Full List

Morgan Wallen was the top winner at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards (PCCAs), which aired live on Thursday (Sept. 26) across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.

Wallen won a total of four awards. He was named The People’s Artist for the second year in a row and he also took The Concert Tour for the second year in a row with his long-running One Night at a Time tour. He also won the Social Country Star of 2024 and The Song of 2024 for his featured role on Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help.”

For Wallen, this makes up for last year when he was unexpectedly nosed out as the night’s top winner on the inaugural PCCAs. He won three awards then to Jelly Roll’s four. (That was one of the first indications of the extent of Jelly Roll’s popularity.)

Beyoncé, who was one of this year’s leading nominees, was shut out. Bey was also shut out in the recently announced Country Music Association nominations. Country awards shows seem to prefer to reward artists who are in it for the long haul, rather than giving their prizes to artists, however talented and versatile, who are seen as just visiting the genre.

Luke Combs took three awards – The Album of 2024 for Fathers & Son and the Male Artist of 2024 and The Male Song of 2024 for “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” his hit from Twisters: The Album. (At the rate it’s going, the song, which he co-wrote with Jessi Alexander and Jonathan Singleton, could be an Oscar contender for best original song.)

Shaboozey and MGK each won two awards.

Shaboozey won The New Artist of 2024. Jelly Roll won in that category last year. He went on to win the CMA Award for new artist of the year and to land a Grammy nomination for best new artist. Shaboozey has a good chance to equal those feats.

Shaboozey also won The New Artist Song of 2024 for his megahit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which is now in its 11th week at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. (Here it must be said that the PCCA has too many categories, and too many similar-sounding categories. It’s confusing. They should consider streamlining their awards structure.)

Among the artists Shaboozey beat in both new artist categories was Dasha, who later won The Female Song award for “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’).” The song was a big crossover hit – it reached No. 3 on Hot Country Songs and No. 18 on the Hot 100. Still, it beat heavy competition to win that award, including songs by Wilson, Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves and two songs by Beyoncé (which may have split Bey’s vote).

“Lonely Road” by MGK featuring Jelly Roll won the crossover song award. The hit interpolates John Denver’s 1971 classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” MGK’s “Sun to Me,” written by Zach Bryan, won as The Cover Song of 2024.

Lainey Wilson took the award for The Female Artist for the second year in a row. Dan + Shay won The Group/Duo award, also for the second year in a row. But Old Dominion’s “Different About You” won the Group/Duo Song award, beating Dan + Shay’s “For the Both of Us.” (See what we mean about too many similar-sounding categories?)

Shania Twain hosted the show. The crossover star was nominated for The Concert Tour of 2024 for Shania Twain: Come on Over – The Las Vegas Residency – All the Hits!, but lost to Wallen.

Winners are chosen entirely by the fans, leading the show to bill itself as “an award show for the people and by the people.” The eligibility period for this year’s show was Aug. 12, 2023, to Aug. 9, 2024.

The People’s Choice Country Awards were produced by Den of Thieves. Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager and Barb Bialkowski executive produced, along with RAC Clark as executive producer and showrunner.
