“No News” is a country song performed by the American band Lonestar. Released in 1996, it became one of Lonestar’s breakthrough hits and is one of their most well-known songs. The track is part of their album titled “Lonestar.”
The lyrics of “No News” narrate a scenario where the narrator tries to get in touch with his significant other but receives no response.

The chorus of the song includes the catchy lines:
“There’s no news from the neighborhood, no news from the neighbors
Not a bit of news, good or bad.”

The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, becoming Lonestar’s first No. 1 single. It also crossed over to the pop charts, further expanding the band’s audience. The success of “No News” helped solidify Lonestar’s place in the country music scene during the late 1990s.
