Parmalee is already setting the tone for the new year, ready to deliver a heavy dose of music, including some surprise collaborations.
The hitmaking group recently co-hosted a weekend of Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton, where they expanded on their plans for 2026. They noted that fans can expect them to unveil songs “more frequently” than ever before, potentially as often as “every 5 or 6 weeks.”
“People want to hear new songs. We want to be able to release songs as we get them. Plus, I have some collabs on my plate. So that’s what we’re looking forward to the most,” they shared.
With all these new tunes on the way, Helton couldn’t help but ask if that meant another project was also in the near future. Their response indicated that after getting the ball rolling with a few singles this year, a bigger project is likely, however they’re unsure exactly what it will look like.
“Hopefully, once we get that started, we’ll have enough for whatever the project is. We want to have something on deck because people want new stuff all the time.”
Their first release after 2025’s Feels Like Home found Parmalee exploring a more emotional side with “How Do I Let You Go,” a powerful song that digs into themes of grief, loss, and the struggle to say goodbye to someone who has passed away. The band admitted to drawing a personal connection to the lyrics, stating that the song is their way of remembering and honoring their late fathers.
While on Country Countdown USA, Parmalee explained that this track was their opportunity to switch gears a bit and touch on some “real life things.”
“So we got to talking about people we lost too soon. My dad passed 2006, before we got a record deal. This is a note to our dads saying we wish you were here,” they shared.
While Parmalee gets ready for an exciting 2026, they’re also still riding the momentum of “Cowgirl,” the lead single from their latest project, which recently scored them their sixth No. 1 (fifth consecutive) at country radio. It not only topped the charts but also became their longest-running No. 1 on Stoney Creek Records, dominating both Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase.
The high-energy tune spent four weeks atop the Billboard Country Airplay chart—the longest-running No. 1 by a group of three or more members in nearly 14 years—and two weeks at number one on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart. This feat makes Parmalee the only band over the past year to hold the No. 1 spot on Country Airplay for multiple weeks.
Reflecting on the life this song has taken on, they took to social media to say, “Bringing in the new year with the #1 song in the country is an amazing feeling. Not only that but a 4 week billboard number #1 and a multi-week mediabase #1. It’s great to see this song connect with so many of y’all and continue to grow! Thank you guys for making 2025 an amazing year and cheers to 2026 yall! 🤠🤠”
Fresh off their “Feels Like Home” Tour, Parmalee is hitting the ground running in 2026, ready to deliver fresh music and tour stops for their fans. Their next performances will take place across three back-to-back nights in Rutland, VT (Feb. 19)., Foxborough, MA (Feb. 20), and Jordan, NY (Feb. 21).
