June 16, 2008 Issue 94 How’s Your Gold Powered? Owen Accepts NAB Honor For Country Cares Perhaps the best time to find finely tuned and pruned Power Gold categories is during the spring book, when the results of all those Auditorium Music Tests are in place. Panning for bullion, we dug into Mediabase to find the shiniest nuggets from three eras -- 2000-2006, 1994-1999 and 1980’s-1993. We do so with the caveat that everyone separates the PG from Recurrents a little differently. For our purposes, we (pretty much) call everything that peaked on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart prior to Jan. 2007 as Gold – with the top performers getting the PG designation. Here are the Top 10 for each era – and you can mine the remaining Top 50 for each period on Page 6. Power Gold 2000-2006 1. KEITH URBAN/Somebody Like You 2. RASCAL FLATTS/Life Is A Highway 3.

Go Fish: This week’s label Promo of the Week belongs to Black River, who managed to convince Jeff Bates to change the spelling of his last name to “Baits” to coincide with the release of his new single, “Riverbank.” Taking their cues from lines in the song, the Rick Baumgartner-led team sent reporting stations a series of gifts – can we say that now that Spitzer is disgraced and gone? – that included a foil-pack of spam with a duct-taped “H” over the sp; a bag of Goldfish with gummy earthworm attached; and, a “Sweet Tea” pack that contained a huge tea bag, sugar and the secret family recipe from Mama Bates.
