Among those acts are Carrie Underwood, Phil Vassar and Brothers Osborne. That kind of solution is a good way to serve the existing audience, but the development of new fans is a major loss from CMA Fest’s cancellation, particularly for new and developing acts who might have caught the ear of a passing attendee in previous years. Such artists as Travis Denning, LANCO and Ryan Kinder have watched crowds grow during their sets by attracting people who simply liked a few notes or a chorus and stopped to watch the end of a performance. “It’s unfortunate for the artists, especially newer artists that really use this as kind of a launching pad to be able to have so many fans from literally around the world,” says F2 Entertainment president Fletcher Foster (Runaway June, Jessie James Decker). “Those fans can take it back to their community.” The AMG had seen Payton Smith and Kameron Marlowe gain that kind of initial traction last year and was expecting to earn CMA Fest exposure for Essex County and Alexis Wilkins. Craig Morgan remotely performed “Soldier,” from his new album God, “We were really counting on those side stages — or the B stages, if you want Family, Country, on the May 25 edition of NBC’s Today.

It’s very hard.” At the other end of the spectrum, some new members of the Country Music Hall of Fame had expected to deliver celebratory sets. In a typical year, the new class is announced sometime between February and April, then inducted during an October medallion ceremony. Thanks to the coronavirus, CMA has not yet announced the 2020 inductees. The reveal likely will happen in a month or so, notes Trahern. New Hall members will keep their status private until the announcement date, though holding the secret apparently has not been a problem for at least one new inductee. “Maybe they don’t all know,” says Trahern. Ultimately, it’s doubtful too many observers disagree with the decision to shut down the festival. Pandemic-related job losses prevented a large amount of fans from making the pilgrimage to Nashville, and playing to half-empty Dolly Parton joined Time CEO/editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal on venues would have been detrimental to the event.

In the meantime, CMA has used the unexpected down time to update some policies and procedures, finalize marketing materials and strategies that will carry over to the 2021 event and even start work on the 50th CMA Fest, which will take place in 2022. For now, Nissan Stadium stays quiet, lower Broadway alcohol sales will re- main low, and Music Row staff who usually end the week with sore feet and sleep deprivation may rediscover that absence makes the heart grow fonder as they miss a CMA Fest that never happened.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • Gender on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, 1996-2016
    Watson. Manuscript. Gender on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, 1996-2016 Jada Watson (University of Ottawa) [email protected] In May 2015 radio consultant Keith Hill revealed that country radio programmers have strict rules on how many female artists can be included in airplay rotation. Referring to females as the “tomatoes” of the country salad, Hill’s remarks have sparked debate about gender-representation in country music. This paper examines gender-related trends on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart between 1996 and 2016, aiming to investigate how female artists have performed on the charts over this two-decade period. Analyzing long-term trends in frequency distribution, this study uses statistical results to unpack assertions made about women’s marginal status in country music. Keywords: country music; gender; Billboard charts; radio Introduction: #TomatoGate In a 26 May 2015 interview with Russ Penuell of Country AirCheck on the subject of country radio scheduling and ratings, consultant Keith Hill spoke candidly about how female artists factor into the format’s airplay rotation: If you want to make ratings in Country radio, take females out. The reason is mainstream Country radio generates more quarter hours from female listeners at a rate of 70 to 75%, and women like male artists. I’m basing that not only on music tests from over the years, but more than 300 client radio stations. The expectation is we’re principally a male format with a smaller female component. I’ve got about 40 music databases in front of me and the percentage of females in the one with the most is 19%.

    NIELSEN MUSIC 20I7 YEAR-END MUSIC REPORT CANADA 1 INTRODUCTION The music industry in Canada has never been stronger, with record consumption, growing live music attendance and a new class of emerging artists. Nielsen Music has also had an amazing, transformative year. Technological advancements and new partnerships have allowed us to provide robust, comprehensive data in more accessible, customizable and useful ways in 2017. Over the past year, we received a record number of requests for Nielsen Music research and insight reports. Welcome to the Nielsen Music Year-End Report, which examines the trends that shaped the Paul Shaver Canadian music industry in 2017 with definitive consumption figures and charts. Vice President/ Head of Nielsen Music Canada Overall consumption of albums, songs and On-Demand Audio streaming grew 13.6% year-over- year.

  • Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011
    Witty Songs ©Ted Schaar 2011 Several years ago through eBay I bought colored-vinyl versions of The Beatles 1962-1966 (The Red Album) and The Beatles 1967-1970 (The Blue Album) from a major fan named Ed. After I paid, he asked if I would be interested in some bootlegs he had that featured sessions recorded while The Beatles were working on their amazing albums—he was willing to transfer them to CD free of charge. I mentioned in my thank you e-mail that I was old enough to have seen the Beatles when they first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. He replied it was "an honor" to meet someone who saw the Beatles live (Ed was born in 1966). This made me think that although those who watched The Beatles that night were part of a huge television audience—almost 74 million1—it's a set whose numbers have decreased tremendously in the 45 years that have passed. That realization, Ed's comment and generous offer to send the CDs, and the about-the-same-time coincidence of having dinner with a man named Bill who saw the Beatles perform in Milwaukee in the fall of 1964 started a chain of events that led me to write two articles. The first, "A Day in the Center of Beatlemania," is about the band's September 4, 1964, appearance at the Arena in Milwaukee. The seed for the second—this one—was planted after Ed's CDs arrived. These were interesting for their roughness and for the insights they provided into the experimentation that produced musical passages such as the unusual Paul McCartney organ part that opens and becomes the backbone of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." On one I was hearing works in progress ranging from the acoustic beginning of "All Together Now" to John Lennon performing an early version of "Good Morning, Good Morning" when out of the blue comes Pete Drake, his talking guitar, and the sliding-steel-words: "I'm just a guitar, everybody picks on me." The track is from the bootleg Through Many Years that focuses on George Harrison and Ringo Starr.2 Ed had combined various bootlegs on each of the CDs he sent.
