Darius Rucker

Country music has been more popular than ever over the last decade.

Lainey Wilson's moment with Brooks & Dunn was probably the highlight, although Jason Aldean's song with Travis Tritt was great too.

He sang one song off his new 'I'm the Problem' album, and one fan-favorite.

Scotty McCreery didn't just sample "Hold My Hand" by Hootie & the Blowfish for his new song "Bottle Rockets" — he called on Darius for help!

This is Round 1 — vote for the hottest man in all of country music (Old School).

Hey, remember these?

There was no strict rule mandating one song per artist but — with one exception — it ended up that way.

He says it's "always been on the bucket list."

Darius Rucker has left the building.

Darius thought the entire thing was hilarious!

Including four mugshots!

He admits the moment was awkward.
