Zach Top is finally getting the respect he deserves, and it is happening on a very big stage soon. He was just nominated for a Pollstar Award 2026. The winners will be announced on April 15 in Los Angeles. While many folks know the CMA awards, Pollstar is the one that truly measures a singer’s hard work on the road.
This nomination for ‘New Headliner of the Year’ means the experts have noticed how many people are showing up to see him. It is about the grit it takes to travel from town to town and keep a crowd happy. Zach does not use backing tracks or fake sounds to get through a set. When he played ‘I Never Lie’ at the historic Ryman Auditorium, he proved that he belongs on the big stages.

One fan mentioned that seeing him live felt like a revival for country music. Another viewer said they have not seen someone play a guitar like that in thirty years. It is rare to find an artist who sounds even better in person than he does on a record.
The success of his own shows gave him the confidence to take on the biggest night in Nashville. This journey from small honky tonks to a major touring award is a massive turning point for his career. Zach took that energy to the 2025 CMA Awards.
