THIS WEEK'S MEDIABASE ADDS LIST

Congratulations to all of the artists making this week's Mediabase Adds list. This week AGAIN was all about the new artists, having more adds than established artists as a whole! People are paying attention to the new music and it's starting to show. Let's keep that trend going! I've started posting the list with both new and established artists so you can see the comparison in numbers.

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 with them.

Just a side note: The number of new music adds this week speaks volumes for how much radio is liking the new stuff. Way to go! Some of our favorites that we're glad to see this week include James Wesley, Florida Georgia Line, Eric Church, Austin Webb, Craig Campbell, Aaron Lewis and Brett Eldredge.

"THINGS YOU CAN'T DO IN A CAR"

WRITTEN BY BRAD HULL

That handle sticks on the passenger side

But she don’t mind climbing in on mine ‘cause that’s where she rides

I work the clutch and she shifts the gears

We take a one way, unpaved to a place way outta here

Yeah, way outta here

Down a rough road where a car can’t go

Up in the hills where you need four-wheel

Let down the tailgate watch her tan legs sway

To the rhythm of me strumming on my guitar

Lay back in the bed, lay her head on my chest

Beneath a billion stars

Doin’ things you can’t do, things you can’t do

Doin’ things you can’t do in a car

This Saturday, I’m helping Tommy out

Hitch on the ball, we’ll be hauling dry wall to his momma’s house

Later on that night, when the work is done

I got a hot date, can’t wait, my baby’s gettin’ made up

To have a little fun 

Down a rough road where a car can’t go

Up in the hills where you need four-wheel

Let down the tailgate watch her tan legs sway

To the rhythm of me strumming on my guitar

Lay back in the bed, lay her head on my chest

Beneath a billion stars

Doin’ things you can’t do, things you can’t do

Doin’ things you can’t do in a car

Pull a boat, move a couch, hook a chain, drag it out

Hang a gun on the rack, hot tub in the back

Horsepower and a winch help a buddy out the ditch

Have some fun in the mud, maybe we can get stuck...

RANDY HOUSER TO RELEASE NEW RADIO SINGLE, “HOW COUNTRY FEELS,” MONDAY, MAY 7

 

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Randy Houser joined Stoney Creek Records in late 2011. Named the Most Played New Artist of the Year in 2009 by Mediabase, previous hit singles include “Boots On,” “Whistlin’ Dixie” and “Anything Goes." Now he’s back with an upbeat, addictive new single, “How Country Feels,” impacting radio Monday, May 7. Fans will be able to download the new song on iTunes Tuesday, May 8.

“How Country Feels” is Randy’s first single release on Stoney Creek Records and serves as a sneak-peek of what fans can expect from his third album that will hit stores later this year.

 

"My entire life has changed since my last single, I mean in every way," shares Randy. "I got married to my beautiful wife, have an amazing baby boy, and a passionate new label team that feels more like family. One thing that has not changed though is my passion to make music and grow as an artist. I'm so excited about 'How Country Feels' and the reaction I'm getting out on the road when playing it live!"

In support of the new release, Randy is currently headlining a Jagermeister Presents Tour and will be performing at other festivals nationwide.
