Isn't Broken Bow distributed by Capitol? I didn't include Mr. Roll because "Need a Favor" isn't as strong a song as "Fast Car" was, and I can't see it still being a factor in six or seven weeks.
The song is #71 in today's chart. Top spinners include KMLE in Phoenix with 6, WGH Norfolk with 6, and KBAY San Jose with 6.
From what I can see, the song doesn't have a record label.
No, it's owned by BMG (Berlesmann), a German company that once owned RCA Records.
In any case, distributor has no effect on promotion team.
He's unsigned at present. They must be bleeping the S-words, then. I'll have to give a listen to the streams and see if I can catch it. AFAIK, the flap over this song is stupid. People are getting their undies in a bundle over the reference to a 300-pounder using welfare/food stamps on Little Debbie's Fudge Rounds. Fat shaming? I suppose, especially since many people have a metabolism or even a disorder that predisposes them to obesity no matter what they eat. But who thinks anyone, fat, skinny or in between, should be buying Fudge Rounds in the first place, let alone with government assistance?

The food stamp battle was fought 30 years ago. Today, the top states with SNAP recipients are in red states, with West Virginia and Louisiana among the biggest. Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama are in the Top 10. Perhaps they should police their own people.

#4 almost there.
Yep but it did it "try that in a small town" is gonna be the #1 song next wk.
Though for me "dancing in the country" by tyler hubbard will be my 2023 #1 country song & looks like will be top 5 on the billboard yrly countdown too.
Such a fun song & the girl in shorts/boots in the"unoffical" video is so hot.
Correct. There never were any objections to the song from radio. The controversy was about the video, and the video was edited. That was the end of the controversy.
Depends on the chart and how they define the year. Mediabase says Bailey Zimmerman's Rock & A Hard Place is #1, and Morgan Wallen's Thought You Should Know is #2.
What's in it for the radio stations when they put a push-week song in saturation rotation? It can't be money, right? Concert tickets to give away, maybe? I mean, if the labels are gaming playlists (and the airplay chart) this way, what does that say about the actual popularity of those songs? I knew Aldean was going No. 1 when he was announced as this weekend's guest on American Country Countdown. I suppose that's gamed, too.
Record labels are partners with radio stations. There are long-standing relationships. Radio stations want to be chart reporters, and this is part of being a reporter. Nobody forces these stations to do anything. But their listeners are country fans, and they're hearing from the fans on social media and other places. That engagement is important for radio.
But if you're running a station that's still getting bad listener feedback on "Try That in a Small Town," and it's not doing well in call-out, do you still pump it over your airwaves every two hours? How about a station whose listeners are showing they prefer Morgan Wallen's "Everything I Love" to his "Thinking of Me"? We have one up here in the sticks that's using "Everything" as a top-of-the-hour song and burying "Thinking" deep in the hour. "Thinking" will most likely be the next national No. 1, while "Everything" is stalled at No. 7. Will this station change its tune on "Thinking" when its push weeks happen, or only if the station is reporting?
Why would you put a metro area all news on an FM with limited coverage?
The Block is doing adequately in its target demo and gives a nice complement to the cluster.
True! As I have said before, format definition is more based on what you play that "the other stations don't play" than what overlaps. I worked in a five station cluster (although it was almost 60 years ago) where two of the stations overlapped by 50% yet the audience duplication was minimal.
Once again, there was no "bad listener feedback" on that song. The negativity came from outside the format. Jason is a core artist.
The statistics are favoring Thinkin' Bout Me right now. The only official single is Everything, but there's no push on either.
