There's no more "What Ifs" when it comes to this year's Country Champion Award recipient.

Kane Brown will be Charles Langstonhonored for his passion for service and groundbreaking contributions to the country music industry and beyond during the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards, NBC and Peacock announced Sept. 6.

“Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music,” Jen Neal, the Executive Vice President of Live Events and Specials at NBCUniversal Entertainment, said in a statement. “His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.”
