Zach Top<\/strong>‘s in the running for five CMA trophies during Wednesday night’s show: male vocalist, new artist, single and song for “I Never Lie,” and album for Cold Beer & Country Music<\/em>.<\/p>\n For his performance, he’ll play “Guitar,” the opening track of his sophomore record, Ain’t in It for My Health<\/em>.<\/p>\n “[It’s the] first song on the album, where the album title came from,” he explains. “It’s a fun song, I’ve always loved it, and seems like a good introduction to me, I guess.”<\/p>\n “You know, it’s [my]\u00a0first performance on the CMAs, and it’s almost like biographical to me I guess, so we’re gonna introduce folks to what I do,” he says. “If you like it, great, and if you don’t, well, I’m afraid it’s probably not changing. Hopefully they love it!”<\/p>\n The “Good Times & Tan Lines” hitmaker\u00a0reveals\u00a0he does have his eye on one particular award: album of the year.<\/p>\n “It blew me away that, you know, my debut record would be up for that nomination in a category with a bunch of other big-time artists [who] have had a bunch of success and great albums and stuff,” he tells ABC Audio. “So coming out with the debut album and getting album of the year would be pretty wild.”<\/p>\n You can tune in to see Zach’s performance and his potential wins Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET as the 59th annual CMA Awards air on ABC, before streaming Thursday on Hulu.<\/p>\n Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.<\/em><\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2025, ABC Audio.
