36 BILLBOARD AUGUST 4,1990 www.americanradiohistory.com COUNTM IF YOU'RE BLOWN AWAY BY THE WEALTH OF ********** GREAT NEW COUNTRY TALENT OUT THERE... CORNER YOU by Marie Ratliff wiplIlli«ri41I ADDED THIS WEEK to the list of monitored stations used in the compilation of our Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart are WUSY OUGHTA BE and WDOD, both in Chattanooga, Tenn., and WOWW Pensacola, Fla. This raises the current total to 91 monitored country stations in 68 markets. HEARING GIANT- STEPPING UP THE CHART: Making the biggest chart jump in the seven -month history of the monitored chart system is Ala- bama's "Jukebox In My Mind" (RCA). It goes from No. 72 to No. 24, a 48 -place move. The group is also involved in another bit of record trivia: A second - week chart position as high as No. 24 has been seen only one time previously under the new system, and that was on another Alabama single- "Pass It On Down" -which moved to No. 24 in early May from its debut position of No. 52. An impressive 92% of monitored stations are already showing play on "Jukebox." "We're getting tons of action on this one," says MD Lee Riley, WONE Dayton, Ohio. "They have gone back to doing some things they used to do and the folks love it."

HOT SHOT FOR 'TOO COLD': Mark Chesnutt's debut MCA single, "Too Cold At Home," claims the Hot Shot Debut position this week at No. 60. "There's some Gene Watson in his voice," says MD J.C. Si- mon, KFMS Las Vegas. "It's a voice that really stands out." "We were one of the first to play it," adds PD Randy Chapman, KALF Red Bluff, Calif. "It's a quality piece of material. I think Ches- nutt's going to have a great career." "He's a hometown boy," says PD Phil Williams, KYKR Beaumont, Texas, "but we wouldn't play it if the record wasn't there. This is great!" Others jumping onto the Chesnutt bandwagon early include KRRV Alexandria, La., KIIM Tucson, Ariz., WAMZ Louisville, Ky., KIKK Houston, KCKC San Bernardino, Calif., both WSM and WSIX Nash- ville, KSON San Diego, WDAF Kansas City, Mo., WTQR Winston -Sa- lem, N.C., WSSL Greenville, S.C., KPLX Dallas, KXXY Oklahoma City, WUSY Chattanooga, KEEN San Jose, Calif., WKJN Baton Rouge, La., WYAY Atlanta, WSOC Charlotte, N.C., WQDR Raleigh, N.C., WOWW Pensacola, and KV00 Tulsa, Okla.

ANOTHER NEW FACE on the horizon is Epic's Joe Diffie, whose first single, "Home," is beginning to kick up comments. "There's a lot of potential in this guy -I love his voice," says PD Rick Stevens, KRRV Alexandria. Diffie is also an early add at WDAF Kansas City and KHEY El Paso, Texas. "It's the best thing I've heard this week," says MD John Saville, WWYZ Hartford, Conn. "If you like George Strait, Clint Black, and Merle Haggard, you're gonna love Joe Diffie. He has the best elements of everybody."

NEWCOMER CHERYL WHEELER also gets high marks on Sa- ville's rave list with "Aces" (Capitol). "She sounds like a cross between Mary- Chapin Carpenter and Tracy Chapman, and she's pulling good female phones," he says. "This is a real nice record," adds MD Steve Ryan, WOWW Pensaco- la. "We're getting good phone response on it already." Other stations on "Aces" include KSOP Salt Lake City, WCTK Providence, R.I., and WNOE New Orleans.

Videos that our film buyers believe would have been given an R- rating- had they been rated by the Motion Picture Assn. of Amer- ica -are marked with a Block- r buster "17 Plus" sticker. These videos are handled as if they were R- rated, and parents could also ask that we J not rent those videos to their children under 17. This program is monitored by our computerized check -out system.

Fine -Tuning the Product Mix Q. What new products do Imm you see adding to the Block- E /BILIBÓAR buster mix in the next year or I Yf so? A. We currently rent and acC sell laserdisks in some of our stores. We continue to assess the feasibility of offering music in some stores. We closely evaluate the preferences of our members through their Blockbuster transactions and will adjust our product offerings in line with buyer prefer - ence-in software, in accessories, in services, or in refereshments. The refresh- ments we offer are basically those offered at movie theaters. IN Grand Slam Q. With your great interest in sports in mind, how does ocE the thrill of seeing major league baseball coming to Florida compare to the thrill of building a bigger Block- buster? A. It will be a tremendous

thrill when I can see the first home run hit during a major league season played by a team in South Florida; but for a person such as myself who enjoys the challenge of helping companies grow, there can be no thrill to compare with seeing Blockbuster continue to grow in financial performance and industry leadership. We entered this industry to be the best, the most socially responsible, the most respected, the biggest and the most profitable. Those are our benchmarks for real success and my greatest thrill will be realizing these goals.

"I WANNA+GET $R(FES SPOTFICIIT BACK WITH YOU" by Michael Ellis Follow-up to the Smash Single ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO in this column I sketched out future "SITTIN' IN THE LAP OF LUXUIW" plans to improve the methodology of the Hot 100 and other charts in Bill- board. With better information available and the increasing gap between sales and airplay on the Hot 100, the future of a combined chart is Prxxduced by Leti-Pie.r^e in question. I solicited input from the Billboard readership, and I would

and Frankie Blue - like to share some of those letters this week.

From the album THERE WAS NO CONSENSUS among the writers. Richard Recco THE STATE I'M IN from Malverne, N.Y., wrote, "I think the charts should be based on sales only. Sales are what people are really buying and like. What radio plays, and people buy, are not always the same. The album charts go by sales and so should the singles chart." Elmar B. Kuner from Germany wrote, "Outside the U.S., almost everybody would consider the sale -side as the' KIM American hitlist due to the fact that most of the European charts are Kelly Newby Maoagemeot compiled solely by actual selling numbers. This leads to an overexposure of teenage -aimed singles, dance tracks, and exchangeable sound pat- terns. I always perceived the combination of sales and airplay within the Hot 100 as a compensation so that Billboard's No. 1 hits reflect almost every year the most popular and durable songs. For example, singles like 'Swing The Mood,' which will be very likely unbearable to listen to when the 'wave' is over, never made the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100, while they were chart -toppers in most of the European countries."

MOST WRITERS WERE AGAINST splitting the chart for historical reasons. John Camacho from Trinidad wrote, "If you do decide to separate the chart into top 100 sales and top 100 airplay, this breakup will generate problems for chart enthusiasts." John Farkas from Cleveland wrote, "Please continue to provide a complete and combined Hot 100 singles chart weekly, indefinitely. The Hot 100 is a cherished tool for those in the industry and those who are music /trivia buffs. I feel that it would be very detrimental to see a landmark such as the Hot 100 split up into two separate charts."

ON THE OTHER SIDE, Andrew Peat from London, Ontario, feels that "allowing sales reports on some black music to affect the Hot 100 sales chart is causing some distortion with the Hot 100. Songs that have a large sales base chart on the combined chart, and I have never heard the songs because of the little airplay they receive. Sales reports are irrele- vant to radio, so it would be more accurate to have an airplay chart for shows like 'American Top 40.' I think an airplay -only and sales -only Hot 100 should be considered."

TOP 40 RADIO USED to be the total, mass -appeal format and it made logical sense to combine top 40 airplay information with total sales reports. Today, top 40 is only one of many successful radio formats, but we continue to combine total sales reports with just top 40 airplay. Howev- er, it would be unworkable to combine all radio formats into the Hot 100 along with total sales. Individual radio format charts are more useful and meaningful. We'll deal with this topic further in future columns.
