March 29, 2010 Issue 185 Gretchen Gets Right With Radio Storm clouds broke with this week’s release of Gretchen Wilson’s I Got Your Country Right Here. Literally and figuratively. For Wilson, it marks the end of a tumultuous period that saw her singles struggle on the chart, her label enveloped in the Sony BMG merger and, by request, her release from the label.

But in the long run my relationship with a lot of stations A comparison to our last Top 100 (CAW Sept. 8, 2009) suffered because it took forever to get around to everyone. So that reveals much volatility. There were 29 songs that increased by was the first priority when I opened my own record company, to 10 or more places and 28 songs fell by 10 or more.
