Garth Brooks eyes record-breaking catalog sale, Luke Bryan has bone to pick with internet | Music City Minute

Two massive headlines out of Nashville today. First, Garth Brooks is reportedly considering selling his entire music catalog, and the price tag is staggering. The "Friends in Low Places" singer is seeking roughly two billion dollars for the rights to both his songwriting and recorded music. That would make it one of the largest catalog sales for a single artist in history. Brooks has sold a record 200 million albums in the U.S. – more than The Beatles, more than Elvis – and has kept a tight grip on his music for decades, famously only streaming through Amazon Music.   And then there's Luke Bryan, who's dealing with a very 2026 problem. His new single "Fish Hunt Golf Drink" drew immediate accusations on social media that it was written by AI. Fans pointed to the chorus "Wake up, coffee/camo, climb tree" and said there's no way a human wrote that. While golfing at the Memorial Pro-Am this week, Bryan fired back, calling the accusers "trolls" and saying, "That song was designed for one thing: to have fun and tell the world what I love to do." The song's cowriters, Chase McGill and Matt Dragstrem, also set the record straight with Rolling Stone, saying it was entirely human created. "It's not rocket science, but it's true to who Luke is."   I'm Brailey, and that's your Music City Minute.
