This Week's New Artist MediaBase Adds

Congratulations to all of the new artists making this week's Mediabase Adds list. People are paying attention to the new music and it's starting to show by the increasing number of stations adding these artists to their libraries. Let's keep that trend going! This list comes to me with both new and established artists, but I choose to only showcase the new artists so you can see how great they're doing as a whole. Just so you get an idea, the closest major artist to the 50 adds that Casey James has is Zac Brown Band with 39 adds for "The Wind". New artists are making their music heard and you guys are to thank. REMEMBER: An add does NOT guarantee air play, it simply means the station has added the song to their library. Air play is based on demand and sales, so get on the phone/internet/text and start requesting your favorites now. Most major radio stations now allow you to text or email your requests so it's not just making a phone call anymore. If you don't request, don't complain when you don't hear your favorite artist on the radio, plain and simple. These guys need our help, so let's show them we support them and their hard work. Don't depend on their side to do all the promoting if you really love an artist, jump in there and work for them and with them!

THIS WEEK'S TOP 3 HEAVY HITTERS

CASEY JAMES .... 50 Adds with "Crying on a Suitcase" ... The only crying you'll hear from his fans is crying out for more music from Casey!

CRAIG MORGAN ... 12 Adds for "Corn Star" ... Looks like anything he sings about makes Craig a star! Corn, that little bit of chicken left on that bone, redneck yacht clubs ... they've all made Craig Morgan the star that he is.

 

Lee Brice ... 7 Adds for "Hard To Love" ... Lee, no matter how many times you say it, we don't find you hard to love and neither does country radio!
