CO-HOST CARRIE UNDERWOOD, KENNY CHESNEY, ERIC CHURCH AND THE BAND PERRY TO PERFORM ON "THE 46th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS," NOVEMBER 1 ON ABC

The star-packed lineup for "The 46th Annual CMA Awards" shines even brighter with today's announcement that CMA Awards co-host and three-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Carrie Underwood, four-time Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney, top nominee Eric Church and reigning CMA New Artist of the Year The Band Perry will perform on "Country Music's Biggest Night(TM)."

"The 46th Annual CMA Awards," hosted for the fifth time by Brad Paisley and Underwood, airs live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. Previously announced performers include Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Paisley and Zac Brown Band.

Chesney, who is the reigning CMA Award winner for Music Video of the Year for "You and Tequila" with Grace Potter, picked up three nominations in 2012 for Entertainer of the Year; Musical Event of the Year for "Feel Like a Rock Star," a duet with Tim McGraw; and Music Video of the Year for "Come Over," directed by Shaun Silva. If Chesney wins Entertainer of the Year, he'll take the record for the most wins in the category. He is currently tied with Garth Brooks, winning the trophy four times in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Church received his first CMA Awards nomination last year for New Artist of the Year. A year later he topped the list of nominees with five, including Male Vocalist; Album for "Chief," which was produced by Jay Joyce; Single of the Year for "Springsteen," also produced by Joyce; Song of the Year for "Springsteen," written by Church, Ryan Tyndell and Jeff Hyde, a member of Church's band; and Music Video of the Year for "Springsteen," directed by Peter Zavadil.

The Band Perry claimed three CMA Awards in 2011 for New Artist of the Year; and Single and Song of the Year for "If I Die Young," which was written by Kimberly Perry. They are nominated for Vocal Group of the Year in 2012.

CMA Awards co-host Underwood received her seventh nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year in 2012. Underwood won Female Vocalist in 2006, 2007 and 2008. If she wins the Female Vocalist of the Year trophy again, it will tie her with Martina McBride (1999, 2002-2004) and Reba McEntire (1984-1987) for most wins in this category. McBride is nominated in the category again in 2012, with Clarkson, Lambert, Taylor Swift and Underwood.

CMA Awards balloting is officiated by the international accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP. Voting for the CMA Awards final ballot ends Monday, Oct. 22 (5:00 p.m., CT).

The Awards aired on NBC through 1971 and on the CBS Television Network from 1972 through 2005. The CMA Awards moved to ABC in 2006, where it will remain through 2021.
