The following year, the duo released Hillbilly Deluxe, which included the hits "Play Something Country" and "Believe." The duo hosted the CMA Awards in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2006, "Believe" won CMA Awards for song and single of the year and Brooks & Dunn won in the vocal duo category. Because Dunn co-wrote "Believe," the victory moved him into first place among all CMA winners, with a total of 19; Brooks is just behind with 18, tied with Vince Gill.
