Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton Duel in Radio 'Battle of the Bangers

A US radio station has launched a weekly "Battle of the Bangers" contest, pitting country music stars against each other. This week the showdown features Miranda Lambert with her track "Actin' Up" and Blake Shelton with "Good Old Boy, Bad Old Boyfriend". The program notes that Kacey Musgraves, previously the favorite, has been dethroned by Lambert.

Listeners are invited to vote for their preferred song, with the station providing background on each artist and lyrical highlights. The contest aims to spotlight both well‑known and emerging country tunes that might otherwise be overlooked.

The feature includes anecdotes from fans, such as a listener who uses Lambert's song to time his golf swing, underscoring the personal connections listeners have with the music.
