Blythe and Pettit will oversee all label operations, including artist development, A&R, promotion, marketing, merch, strategic planning and special projects. According to a release, the changes come as the label “enters its most ambitious and globally focused era to date.”
“Stacy’s impact on Big Loud has been felt from the beginning — her dedication, vision and leadership have shaped our culture and our success in profound ways,” England said in a statement. “As she steps into this new role, it feels like a win for everyone who has grown alongside her. At the same time, we’re thrilled to welcome Jordan, whose experience and relationships across the industry bring fresh energy and perspective to our team. This combination of homegrown leadership and new expertise positions Big Loud for an incredible future.”
“Stepping into the role of co-president is an exciting next chapter, and I’m deeply grateful to Seth, Joey and Craig for their continued belief in me, as well as the trust of our artists and team,” Blythe said in a statement of her own. “Doing this alongside Jordan feels full circle — we started in the industry together, and this moment is especially meaningful. Big Loud Records has always been built on bold ideas, deep relationships and a true artist-first mindset, and forward focus will be on strengthening alignment across the company as we continue to grow. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and energized by where we’re headed.”

The new roles come as Big Loud has had a banner year, with the Big Loud artist Morgan Wallen being named Billboard‘s artist of the year for 2025, marking the first time Wallen was named the year’s top artist, and with Wallen becoming the first male country artist to achieve the feat in over three decades.
“I have long admired Seth, Craig, Joey, Stacy and the entire Big Loud team for the strength of the Big Loud brand and its cultural impact in Nashville and around the world,” Pettit said in a statement. “Over the years, Big Loud has consistently allowed me to feel like part of the family and I am truly honored to now join this industry-leading organization. I am thankful to the partners for this opportunity to support the team at Big Loud and its exceptional roster of artists and creatives.”
Promoting artists including Wallen, HARDY, Ernest, Lauren Alaina and Ashley Cooke, Big Loud Records was also honored as the No. 1 Billboard Hot Country Songs label in 2021-2025.
