This former Phoenician has topped the country chart with six of eight studio albums since moving to Nashville to launch a career, including last year’s “Black,” which also sent a platinum smash called “Somewhere on a Beach” to No. 1 on Billboard’s country songs chart. “Somewhere” is one of two platinum singles from “Black.” The other is “Different for Girls” with Elle King on guest vocals. His previous effort, “Riser,” gave Bentley his first two platinum singles, “I Hold On” and “Drunk on a Plane,” a song that looms so large in Bentley’s legend that it now ends all his concerts. Other hits include chart-toppers “What Was I Thinkin’,” “Come a Little Closer,” “Feel That Fire,” “Sideways,” “Am I the Only One,” “Home” and “5-1-5-0.”

7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26. Talking Stick Resort Arena, Second and Jefferson streets, Phoenix. $31-$509. 800-745-3000, ticketmast­er.com.

This R&B star’s introducti­on to the mainstream was “Can’t Help But Wait,” a 2007 hit that peaked at No. 14 on the Hot 100. And he scored his first chart-topping R&B hit in 2009 with “I Invented Sex.” His biggest-selling smash remains quadruple-platinum “Bottoms Up,” a 2010 single with Nicki Minaj. But the man has no shortage of hits to work into the setlist, from the double-platinum “Say Ahh” to the platinum “Heart Attack,” “Na Na” and “Slow Motion.”
