2009—The Year of More...And Less!
by Ralph Murphy
(With Special Thanks to Eric Gross, Andrea Jeitz, MaryAnn Keen, and Anna Maki)
I get a lot of heat for studying
only No. 1 records, but strangely
enough, it doesn't usually come from
the writers, publishers or artists that
actually have one. My feeling is that
if the “business” feels it's worth
promoting, bullying or outright
buying a record to the top, they
must be pretty confident in the
foundation that the artist’s career
is built upon—the song. So, in line
with “no one throws a No. 2 party,”
this is a look at what made it to
No. 1 in 2009.
Last year's No. 1 songs
continued a trend that started at
the beginning of the decade. For
the last ten years, there has been
a substantial increase in No. 1
records. For instance, in 2009, 31
songs went to the top, up from 26
in 2008, and 21 in 2004.
The number of writers
participating in the cheese, shrimp,
speeches and backslapping
increased from 49 last year to 71

this year. That means each writer’s
work has less total time on the charts.
2009's longest-running chart records
were Chris Young’s “Getting You
Home” and Lady Antebellum’s “I
Run To You,” both at 38 weeks. The
times they are a-changing.
Race to No. 1
At 10 weeks, Carrie
Underwood’s “Cowboy Casanova”
and Brad Paisley’s “Then” were
last year's fastest travelers up the
chart. Unfortunately, Underwood
was also the fastest off the charts
—on and gone in 14 weeks, while
Paisley hung around for a total of
17 weeks.
Eight records peaked in 15 weeks
or less. In addition to Carrie and
Brad, there were Kenny Chesney's
“Out Last Night," Jason Aldean's
“Big Green Tractor,” Rascal Flatts'
“Here Comes Goodbye,” Toby Keith's
“American Ride,” Sugarland's “It
Happens" and Lady Antebellum's

“Need You Now.” Interestingly, records
seemed to take a little longer than last year
to climb the charts. Slightly over one-third
of them took over 20 weeks to get to No. 1.
As most of these artists have had hits
before, it would be easy to attribute their
fast rise to star power and fan familiarity,
but there were four newcomers to the No. 1
club in 2009—Mac McAnally (although
paired with Kenny Chesney), Chris Young,
Justin Moore and Lady Antebellum.
Two of those newcomers, Young and
Moore, took the longest to get to No. 1,
so maybe they just had to earn their way.
Moore's “Small Town USA” took 33 weeks
to get to the top. Winning the prize for
longest ascent was Young's “Getting You
Home” at 35 weeks. Those singles also
lived the longest on the charts at 35 and
38 weeks respectively, along with Lady A's
“Run To You” (38 weeks).
Notable is the haste with which records
moved off the charts. Two to three weeks
after they hit No. 1 seems to be the average
amount of time spent in the sun. That's
the opposite of what happens to pop songs
on Billboard's Hot 100, where records race
to the top and hang around for months.
Artist/Writers
In 2008, fifty percent of the No. 1s
were written or co-written by the artist.
That trend accelerated this year, with 19
of the 31 No. 1s written or co-written by
the artist. Almost two thirds of all No. 1s were “inside” jobs.
How that will affect publishers' business plans will be almost
as interesting as watching how non-performing writers
respond to this new challenge.
2009 American Idol finalist Michael Sarver recently joined ASCAP as
a writer/publisher member. Little Champion Music's Rachel Thibodeau
has been producing sides for Sarver at Blackbird Studio, including
the single "Ferris Wheel," co-written by Thibodeau, Curb Publishing's
Kyle Jacobs and UMG Nashville's Josh Kelley. (L-R): Thibodeau, Sarver
and ASCAP's Earle Simmons.

Tempos
Well, somebody rolled the dice, went with a waltz and
danced all the way to the top. “Already Gone” got the job done
for Sugarland and gave them the first of two No. 1s for 2009.
The other 30 chart-toppers were all in 4/4, with tempos

almost equally shared between ballads (9 of them), midtempo
(12) and up-tempo (10).
Intros
Intros were pretty consistently within the 13-18 second
range, with only “Start A Band” by Brad Paisley and Keith Urban
exceeding that, with the guitar-fueled intro going 24 seconds.
“River of Love” came in at 24 seconds to be the longest
intro. At the other extreme, was the Chesney/MacAnally duet,
“Down The Road.” Darius Rucker's “Alright” did away with
the intro, with the track and vocal starting at almost the same
time. Add all the intros together and average them out, and
you arrive at the old industry standard of 13 seconds.

A Little Advice
Let’s get back to that ‘more and less’ thing. Taking the
last decade as a template, sales both digital and physical,
dropped by 50%, which will negatively affect mechanical
income. Media economist Jack Myers recently predicted in
Inside Radio that "radio revenues will fall 18.7% this year.”
This will lead to a decrease in performance income forcing
writers and publishers to “split the blanket” (to quote my old
friend Harlan Howard) much more than they used to.
The good news is that the demand for music has never
been higher. The bad news is that people don’t want to pay
for it. Well, I’ve got some real news...they never have!
So, if you’re a smart artist, find some great writers to
write with. If you’re a great writer, find a great artist to work
with. And as you roll that song out remember, we have had
a wonderful ride for the last century due to the efforts of our
great, great, great grandparents. They put a copyright law
in place back in 1909 and then fought every theater, bar and
club to get compensated for their music. Along the way, every
new technology that came along needed what writers created
and wanted it for cheap (read FREE).
“New" technologies like radio, movies and television fought
for the right to use music for as little money as possible. The
war going forward today is no different than the war that has
always been fought. As creators and copyright owners, we
have been lulled into believing we are part of an industry
where all are equal partners in success. Not so.
The more that people use what we create to make money,
the greater appears to be their sense of entitlement. Breaking
new ground and finding new uses for our songs is great as
long as we share in the revenues generated.
Remember, it all really does begin with a song.

Lambert Is Hanging
With The Boys
Miranda Lambert has
selected a long list of male artists
to accompany her on the various
legs of her upcoming Roadside
Bars & Pink Guitars tour. So far,
Lambert has enlisted James
Otto, David Nail, Randy
Houser, Cross Canadian
Miranda Lambert
Ragweed, Eric Church, Jake
Owen, Wade Bowen, Luke Bryan and Chris Young. Each
act will join Lambert for select dates throughout the tour.
“I like pink guitars and puppies so how scary can I be?”
laughs Miranda. "Seriously, it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’ve
been on tour with some great male headliners so I thought
it’s only natural that I invite some talented guys on my first
official headlining tour!”
Bellamy Brothers Song
On Broadway
Venerable country duo The
Bellamy Brothers recently
authorized the use of their song,
“Get Into Reggae Cowboy” for the
upcoming Broadway play Enron.
The play is a tragic comedy that
follows a group of flawed men and women in a
narrative of greed and loss using music, movement and video.
The Bellamy’s song has been choreographed using
interpretive dance and is featured throughout the production.
Enron is directed by Headlong Theater’s Artistic Director
Rupert Goold and will debut on April 8 at Broadway’s
Broadhurst Theater.
In other Bellamy news, the brothers are celebrating their
35th Anniversary with the release of The Anthology Vol. 1.

It’s time for some warmer weather, and also time for a
new No. 1 song: Keith Urban’s “‘Til Summer Comes Around”
has reached the chart’s top spot after a multi-week run by
Blake Shelton’s “Hillbilly Bone.” Urban’s latest is part of a
long string of CountryBreakout No. 1s that includes “Only
You Can Love Me This Way,” “Kiss A Girl,” “Sweet Thing,”
“You Look Good In My Shirt,” and “Everybody.”
Following Urban are Capitol labelmates Lady Antebellum
with “American Honey” at No. 2, and Eric Church with “Hell
On The Heart” at No. 3. Zac Brown Band’s “Highway 20 Ride”
has muscled its way to No. 4 with a big gain of 128 spins,
and Carrie Underwood’s “Temporary Home” sits tight at
No. 5. Joe Nichols’ “Gimmie That Girl,” Justin Moore’s
“Backwoods,” and Rascal Flatts’ “Unstoppable” all see large
gains in spins and are rewarded with higher positioning
inside the top 10.
An abundance of new and quickly-rising singles are skipping
over the competition on their way up the chart. Toby Keith’s
“Every Dog Has Its Day” is out front, climbing to No. 27 in its
second week of activity. Jason Aldean’s “Crazy Town” is
not far behind at No. 31 and picks up Greatest Spin Gain
honors. Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” picks
up 312 spins and moves to No. 34 after only three weeks.
Also quickly catching on are relative newcomers Emily West’s

"Til Summer Comes
Around"
Capitol Nashville
Signs are showing all around that summer
in Nashville might actually be on its way,
but Keith Urban’s “‘Til Summer Comes
Around” has already arrived. This week
the slow jam takes over the
CountryBreakout™ Chart’s No. 1 spot with a gain of nearly 70 spins.
Urban was recently a guest on a special Oscar night episode of Jimmy
Kimmel Live, where he performed this song and made a guest
appearance in a side-splitting skit called “Handsome Men’s Club”
alongside Matthew McConaughey, Sting, Ben Affleck, and more.

Jason’s Mitchell’s smoldering “Slow and
Steady” is beginning to please the ears of
programmers, as it moves on to the
CountryBreakout™ Chart at No. 65 and

and spent his early years interested in everything but music. His love
for singing and performing came later, during college, when he landed
a singing role in the cast of a local tourist attraction. Soon he had
produced his own CD, as well as raising $25,000 for Vanderbilt
Hospital’s Burn Center.

"Crazy Town"
Broken Bow Records
On his rocking new single “Crazy Town,”
Jason Aldean depicts the insane hustle of
aspiring country singers in Nashville and
the tough road to stardom. Fortunately,
that time of stuggle for Aldean seems to
be over as his third album Wide Open is
certified Platinum with three No. 1 hits to its credit. CountryBreakout™
panelists have given their approval to “Crazy Town,” which earned
the weeks’ biggest gain of 449 spins and moved to No. 31. Aldean is
currently headlining his own Wide Open tour and will soon join
Brooks & Dunn for their Last Rodeo farewell tour.
