  • Issue 105 Randy Houser’S Late Night with Dave Nothing Was “Normal” About Last Thursday Night’S Late Show with David Letterman
    September 2, 2008 Issue 105 Randy Houser’s Late Night With Dave Nothing was “normal” about last Thursday night’s Late Show With David Letterman. First, and foremost, while country sightings are rare on their own, it’s unheard of for a country singer with a debut single barely inside the Top 50 (when he was booked) to get a shot as the musical guest. It was also a rarity for Letterman himself to order the booking. But Letterman’s hand in re-arranging the song for that night’s performance is something that Late Show Musical Director Paul Shaffer says never happens. The career of Universal South’s Randy Houser took an unbelievable turn a few months ago when, according to Shaffer, Letterman heard Houser’s “Anything Goes” on one of Sirius Satellite Radio’s Country channels. Letterman called New York and asked his talent coordinator to book Houser. Crump Plaza: The Marj & George Aubrey Crump Terrace But Letterman took it a step further when he called Shaffer was dedicated at the Country Music Hall of Fame And Museum just prior to the 1pm vocal on Sept. 1.

  • Who's Got the Biggest Cume of All? Swift Closes
    June 7, 2010 Issue 195 Who’s Got The Biggest Cume Of All? Country programmers and sales staffs have been absolutely giddy in recent years as they’ve watched cumes for most Country radio stations double once Arbitron’s PPM becomes currency in a market and replaces the diary. (We’ll fight over TSL’s plunge from diary to PPM another time.) Prior to PPM’s arrival, no Country outlet had ever cracked the one million listener barrier. Only a handful of stations exceeded 500,000 cumers. Now this format boasts four or five stations at one million plus on a regular basis, with another handful posting audience levels in excess of 900,000. The exuberance is, of course, tempered by the fact that all of the other format cumes have ballooned as well. Proving that size does indeed matter, the top 23 cuming stations in America are in either New York or Los Angeles.
