12 20 11 Aldean, Taylor, ZBB Taylor Swift and Thompson Square Top 2011 Airplay

ason Aldean is Country radio’s 2011 airplay king, taking the crown for both Overall and Male MVP. His ascension Jthe throne was fueled by four hits from the CMA’s of the Year My Kinda Party. The album’s title track was TOP 15 well on its way to becoming a smash when Aldean and Kelly Clarkson performed “Don’t You Wanna Stay” on the 2010 CMA Awards show. Knowing a hit when they heard it, programmers quickly put that song on the air, giving Aldean the rarity of two songs on the charts simultaneously. In fact, the duet’s rapid climb may have cost “Party” the No. 1 slot. It peaked at No. 3 on Jan. 3 while “Stay” was Country at No. 17; it ultimately spent two weeks at No. 1. Aldean also posted a chart-topper with “Dirt Road Anthem.” His latest single “Tattoos On This Town” was at No. 7 when the chart year (Nov. 14, 2010 to Nov. 12, 2011) closed and currently resides on the Top 5. Radio’s Taylor Swift is this year’s top Female MVP, adding that accolade to the trophy case of honors she’s received from the ACM, CMA, AMA and ACA. She’s also the only woman in the Overall Top 10 MVPs. Swift had three singles in 2011, all of which went to No.1: “Back To Top 2011 December,” “Mean” and “Sparks Fly.” Leading the Duo/Group category was the Zac Brown Band. Their four hits included a pair of No. 1s in this chart year (“As She’s Walking Away” crested the last week of CY 2010), with both “Colder Weather” and “Knee Deep” each capturing the pinnacle this year. Perfomers st It was no contest for New Artist MVP, with Thompson Square taking the honors on the strength of the No. 1 song for all of 2011, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not.” OVERALL A total of 196 songs charted in 2011, the same as 2010. That was down from 204 in ‘09. In 2008, 194 hit the Top 50, while 190 did it in ‘07. Thirty-nine artists accounted for 78 songs 1. Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) reaching the Top 15 this year.
