Ahead of the 57th Country Music Association Awards, VegasInsider.com has collected all of the potential records that could be broken at the 2023 ceremony. Brooks & Dunn could break their tie with Vince Gill and become the sole holder of the record for the most overall wins in CMAs history, Miranda Lambert could extend her record as the female artist with the most overall wins, Luke Combs could join Kenny Chessney and Alabama as the only artist to win Entertainer of the year for 3 consecutive years, while Chris Stapleton and Carrie Underwood could get rid of their records as the most nominated male and female performers in the Entertainer of the year category without a win.
To see the full detailed list of the potential records to be broken, have a look below.
OVERALL
-
Brooks & Dunn could break their tie with Vince Gill and become the sole holder of the record for the most overall wins in CMAs history – they have won 18 awards out of 53 nominations, and they could win their record-breaking 19th trophy if they win for Vocal Duo Of The Year
-
Miranda Lambert could extend her record as the female artist with the most overall wins (and she would also join the list of the top 5 most awarded artists in the CMAs history, she is currently tied for 6th-8th place with 3 other artists) – Lambert has won 14 awards out of 62 nominations, and she could win her 15th trophy in the Female Vocalist of the Year category
-
Lainey Wilson could join Alan Jackson and Vince Gill as the only artists to have ever won the 4 main categories at the CMAs (Album of the year, Song of the year, Vocalist of the year and Entertainer of the year) in one year – Jackson did so in 2002, Gill in 1993; Wilson would also become the first female artist ever to achieve a single night win in all 4 major categories
ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR
-
Luke Combs could join Kenny Chesney and Alabama as the only artist to win Entertainer of the year for 3 consecutive years (Chesney won between 2006-2008 and Alabama did so between 1982-1984); Combs would also be the only second solo artist to do so after Chesney
-
Chris Stapleton could get rid of his record as the most nominated artist to have never won Entertainer of the year – he has been nominated 7 times but has never won
-
Similar to Stapleton, Carrie Underwood is tied with Miranda Lambert as the female artist with the most EOTY nominations without a win (6), but she could get rid of this record if she wins this year
-
Lainey Wilson could join a group of 10 other artists who won EOTY on their first nomination, and if she manages to win, she would be only the third female artists to ever win on her first nomination after Shania Twain and Taylor Swift
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
-
If Luke Combs wins for “Gettin’ Old”, he would join an elite group of only 4 other performers that have won Album of the year 3 or more times (Johnny Cash & Chris Stapleton – 3 wins, Ronnie Milsap – 4 wins, George Strait – 5 wins)
MALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR
-
Chris Stapleton could extend his record for the most wins in the Male vocalist of the year category – he has won record-breaking 6 times, and this year he could win his 7th trophy
FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR
-
Miranda Lambert could extend her record for the most wins in the Female vocalist of the year category – she has won record-breaking 7 times, and this year she could win her 8th trophy
VOCAL GROUP OF THE YEAR
-
Little Big Town could break their tie with Rascal Flatts and become the sole holder of the record for the second most wins in the Vocal group of the year category – they have won 6 times and could win their 7th trophy this year (on the other hand, if Old Dominion win, they would join the tie with Little Big Town)
VOCAL DUO OF THE YEAR
-
Brooks & Dunn could extend their record for the most wins in the Vocal duo of the year category – they have won 14 awards, and a win in 2023 would make it their 15th
-
Brothers Osborne could break their 2nd-3rd place tie with Sugarland (5 wins) and become the sole holder of the record for the second most wins in the Vocal duo of the year category
-
Maddie & Tae could become only the second ever (and first since 1988) all-female duo to win in the Vocal duo of the year category after The Judds
