Trace Adkins had already earned 10 Top 20 hits by this time in 2003. He’d had his first No. 1 single, “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,” and had released four Top 10 albums, as well as a hits collection. But chances are, it’s his induction into the Grand Ole Opry that makes Aug. 23 stand

3. Mark L (Avengers: Infinity War) I, on the other hand, favor the one with nanotechnology over either of those.
