Hey all:

Is there a place to find dates that country songs should be added? i.e Toby Keith's new song coming out, what date should or does the record company want the song be added on? Is there a place to go to find this out at?

You can find them on the R&R hotfax as one source. A record company wants a song added as soon as possible. They would literally like you to get it delivered, open it, never listen to it, and put it on the air.

Add dates or "impact dates" are by and large meaningless.

What about if your an average joe who does not have access to the hotfax, is this something anyone can get? I used to work at a radio station that got the thing all the time, but I am no longer working in "radio" these days.
 
I'm not sure. You can check out R&R's website. As I'm sure you can remember tghere's nothing in there but some radio news, record news, and charts.
 
You can try the Pulse Music messageboard, particularly the within the <a target="_blank" href=http://pulsemusic.proboards48.com/index.cgi?board=country>Country Radio Format and Chart Forum

Add dates are posted by a crew of amateur chart watchers who glean information where they can. I'm a regular contributor over there, but this is the first time I've posted here. For what it's worth, one of my contributions is that I update these graphs of R&R daily chart activity...

The graphs take up a lot of screen real-estate, so your browser may attempt to resize them downward, which will make them unreadable. If that happens you can try hovering your mouse over the graph if you're using a recent version of Internet Explorer and resize them upward, or you can change the IE settings to prevent the graphs from being resized in the first place: Click Tools... Internet Options... Advanced... then UN-check "Enable Automatic Image Resizing".

I also update these text-only charts:

<a target="_blank" href=http://home.earthlink.net/~oceanblue831/shedaisy/audience_changes_1.txt>Today's audience changes on R&R</a>
<a target="_blank" href=http://home.earthlink.net/~oceanblue831/shedaisy/audience_changes_7.txt>Rolling 7-day audience changes on R&R</a>

If you go to the CHARTS section on the R&R Website, below the actual chart are "Most Added," "New and Active" and "Going for Adds"... the "Going for Adds" will show the "Add Date".
