Billy Currington Announces New Album “King Of The World”

Billy Currington is ready to add another chapter to his impressive career. The multi-Platinum country hitmaker has announced his seventh studio album, King Of The World, set for release October 24 on MCA Records. To celebrate the news, Currington also dropped a brand-new song, “One Thing I Ain’t Been,” now streaming everywhere.
Produced by longtime collaborator Carson Chamberlain, the 10-track collection finds Currington leaning into his signature coastal style while teaming up with some of Nashville’s most respected songwriters. He co-wrote several cuts with legends Dean Dillon and Scotty Emerick, alongside contributions from Corey Crowder, Ben Hayslip, Johnny Clawson, and more. Songs like “Run For My Whiskey,” “Burnin’ The Midnight Gasoline,” and “Bourbon Sunset” highlight the blend of laid-back grooves and heartfelt storytelling that have defined Currington’s career.

So far, fans have heard two early previews: the title track, “King Of The World,” released last month, and today’s “One Thing I Ain’t Been.” Together, they set the tone for a project that balances Currington’s beach-born ease with the songwriting depth he’s known for.
