CASEY DONAHEW “Let’s Make A Love Song” Almost Country Records
CONTENTS 2019 Year End Chart!
— Dear Readers; Charts PAGE 2 — While you all have been shaking off the holidays and getting back into the gym, we have been putting together a new chart. Below you will see the Top 250 True Indie singles for the year 2019. We are countin’ ‘em down as Casey Kasem used to say. The definition of a True Indie is as follows...
A True Indie single is a single from an artist or label who does not own their own promotion team. If you have an in house promotion staff, you are not True Indie. If you rely on independent contractors to handle your promotion effort, you are True Indie and qualify to be included on this chart. This chart is designed to shine a light on the lifeblood of our industry, the mavericks who are making the records and taking chances to create new artist careers.
Congratulations are in order for Casey Donahew, Almost Country Records, Tami Millspaugh, JR Hughes, Jay Thomas, R.J. Jordan, Ashlee Wall, Jamie Fierberg, Renee McClure and Teresa Johnston- Chance for having the Top True Indie Single for 2019 with the fabulous “Let’s Make A Love Song.”
We will be adding this True Indie chart to our family of chart offerings weekly. Now we are off to make a kale smoothie and hit the treadmill. Onward and stay tuned!
