Kudos to EMI RECORDS NASHVILLE’s BROTHERS OSBORNE and their promotion team for landing the most added single at Country radio with « Nobody’s Nobody. »  The song, written by the duo’s TJ and JOHN OSBORNE, alongside fellow artist KENDELL MARVEL and writer/producer MIKE ELIZONDO, launches with 80 first-week ads among MEDIABASE stations. It debuts on the chart at #56. NASHVILLE-based internet audio channel GIMME RADIO will be shutting down, effective APRIL 29th, after six years of operation.  According to a report in the NASHVILLE BUSINESS JOURNAL, and an APRIL 10th « epitaph » blog post on MEDIUM from company CEO TYLER LENANE, the company’s revenues of $1 million a year were not sufficient to sustain the operation, which has six full-time employees. This despite generating $6 million from investors, including iHEARTMEDIA, in a funding round disclosed in late 2021. The multi-disciplinary talent has announced his departure from the country music industry in favor of ministry work.  GRANGER SMITH, former WHEELHOUSE RECORDS artist and current host of iHEARTRADIO’s nationally-syndicated AFTER MIDNITE WITH GRANGER SMITH, is exiting the music touring business after 24 years and moving towards a new chapter in his life. He’s announced that he will embark on a farewell tour, LIKE A RIVER, on APRIL 13th, which will run through AUGUST 26th. In addition, SMITH has also announced the upcoming release of his memoir, LIKE A RIVER: FINDING THE FAITH AND STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER LOSS AND HEARTACHE, on AUGUST 1st, via W PUBLISHING GROUP, an imprint of THOMAS NELSON. Is it body positivity or are we just beating the booty-bullies to the finish line by making ourselves the butt of the joke?  I’m doing it. I am finally calling out something that bothers the **** out of me in country music, and that is Dump Truck Country Marketing. Why is it that one of the best songwriters in modern country music, Miss Lainey Wilson, has to market on the strength and size of her ample posterior instead of just getting credit for the music that she makes? Why is it Priscilla Block had to immediately be the first to pick on herself through songs like « Thick Thighs Save Lives » in order to be taken seriously on any stage? |
