About New Music Awards: NMW (New Music Weekly) is proud to be the first and only award show not weighted down with the politics and corruption of the corporate world, but an award show showing the true talent which exists in the music industry today. NMW's motivation for providing the most updated and fairly tracked radio airplay information is owed to the philosophy of radio pioneer and legend Bill Gavin, who started Gavin as a weekly tip-sheet for radio programmers in the 1950s. It wasn't until the early 1990's that Gavin's philosophy was finally archived with the bureaucracy of major label politics . .thus the founding of New Music Weekly magazine.
