UPDATE
Country Airplay chart in a scant six weeks, an impressive accomplishment in
a genre where better-established acts often take 30 weeks to make the top 10.
“All the stations, the PDs, everyone we’ve met has been really awesome,”
notes guitarist Bill Satcher. “It seems like they’re getting the music and digging it. They’re playing it, so that says a lot right there.”
Indeed, Republic Nashville seems to have made an impact with broadcasters without putting the band through the typical radio promotion tour. WUSN
Chicago PD Jeff Kapugi, for example, bought into the band before it even
finished its first song during a Whiskey Jam cruise in July 2014. iHeartMedia executive vp programming Clay Hunnicutt became a believer during
an industry showcase at the Tennessee home of Republic Nashville president
Jimmy Harnen in August. Many more programmers saw them during a 19city jaunt as the opening act for Frankie Ballard during the fall.
“Frankie heard the music, loved the band and gave ATH a fantastic opportunity,” says Harnen. “This tour allowed us to have ATH play [with a] full
band where fans and country radio could see them in their full, natural environment. We also had a lot of country radio programmers love the music
and commit early.”
It doesn’t hurt that the raw, urgent sound they heard during those concerts
is matched in the 13 tracks that populate Southernality, due June 9.
“We really kind of approached it as if we were playing the songs live in rehearsals,” says Satcher.
Cobb captured the band in loose form, which was achieved in part by recording at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground studios at the edge of Music Row.
“They have an incredible chef, and they have an incredible bar,” says Cobb.
“And the band — they’re fish, man. They drink like no tomorrow, and if they
can re-create what they have onstage, that was happening in the studio. The
band was only enjoying the fact that they had a keg and a bunch of liquor
downstairs. I would attribute a lot of that rock’n’roll spirit to the fact that they
actually live like that.”
A Thousand Horses’ history isn’t all that different from that of Alabama, a group founded by three cousins who woodshedded their way into
country’s history books by similarly welding rock and country influences as
the house band at a bar in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The Horses’ Hobby and Satcher
were high-school buddies in Newberry, S.C., and Satcher’s cousin, Deloach,
played music with them when he visited during summers from Savannah,
Ga. Brown was brought into the band somewhere around 2010. Heavily influenced by the Stones, The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd,
the group fortuitously got signed briefly to Interscope, where it was paired
with Cobb, who stayed a fan even after it lost its deal. After losing its label, the
Horses also lost a manager and a booking agent. That proved to be a pivotal,
character-building event.
“We definitely had a moment where we all sat down and said, ‘Oh, what the
hell do we do now? We got nothing,’ ” recalls Satcher. “We were back to square
one. And I think we were all like, ‘Well, what else are we going to do it? This is
what we do. We were doing it before we had all that. We’re going to do it now.’ ”

director Tim Conlon, Gloriana’s Tom Gossin and WKIS operations
manager Ken Boesen.
McGhee Entertainment partner Scott McGhee “had been looking for a
‘Southern country/rock band’ for several years,” he says. So when a friend
recommended he check out ATH, he added them to the management roster,
believing their sound would be familiar to country’s upper demos and fresh
to the genre’s younger fans.
“The band subtly captures a spirit, sound and delivery that we haven’t seen
recently,” he says. “It’s just what they do and who they are.”
The forthcoming album is an authentic replication of their live identity, all
the way down to the desperate gasps of breath that Hobby inhales between
phrases. Mixing engineer Justin Niebank (Vince Gill, Eli Young Band) left
those sounds in, underscoring the energy in Hobby’s approach.
“That’s how I’ve always sung,” says Hobby. “I don’t think I ever even really
noticed it. It’s not a conscious thought of keeping breaths or anything for me.
That’s just how it comes down to tape.”
The band is taking pre-orders for Southernality now, giving buyers three
tracks in addition to “Smoke” so they can have a better-rounded picture of
ATH. A Thousand Horses will get another opportunity to introduce themselves
when they play 30 minutes or more as an opening act on Darius Rucker’s appropriately named Southern Style Tour this summer. The band will have its
three backup singers in tow, with that 1969-ish sound — a little bit of Stones,
a little bit of 1990s Black Crowes — that walks a fine line between rock and
country. Analysts may have trouble figuring out where they fit. Consumers
probably aren’t concerned with how it’s formatted.
“The country fans have always responded,” says Satcher. “It was those
types of fans that were drawn to our band.”
LADY A DISPENSES WITH PROMOTION
Lady Antebellum apparently has a thing for beverages: The band took part
in a Lipton Iced Tea ad campaign in 2012, earned its most recent No. 1 on
Country Airplay with “Bartender” and now has a Coca-Cola association that
supports its current single, “Freestyle.”
The new contest involves Coke’s Freestyle machine, a restaurant beverage

CHART LEGEND
RANKINGS
Country Airplay is ranked by
total audience impressions
for the week ending Sunday
based on monitored airplay of
146 stations by Nielsen BDS.
Audience totals on the chart are
derived, in part, using certain
Arbitron Inc. copyrighted
Persons 12+ audience
estimates (under license ©
2015, Arbitron Inc.). Country
Indicator is tabulated using
reported playlists and Nielsen
BDS-monitored airplay at 102
stations, ranked by total plays.
BULLETS
l Awarded on Country Airplay
to titles gaining audience or
remaining flat from the previous
week. A song will also receive
a bullet if its percentage loss
in audience does not exceed
the percentage of monitored
station downtime for the format.
Titles that decline in audience
but increase in detections will
also receive a bullet if the total
audience erosion for the week
does not exceed 3%. Bullets are
awarded on Country Indicator to
titles gaining plays or remaining
flat from the previous week.
TIES
On Country Airplay, if two songs
are tied in total audience, the
song with the larger increase
in audience is placed first. On
Country Indicator, if two songs
are tied in total plays, the song
with the larger increase in plays
is placed first.
RECURRENTS
On Country Airplay, descending
titles below No. 10 in either
audience or detections are
moved to recurrent after 20
weeks, provided that they are not
still gaining enough audience
points to bullet or if they rank
below No. 10 and post a third
consecutive week of audience
decline, regardless of total chart
weeks. On Country Indicator,
descending, non-bulleted titles
below No. 10 are moved to
recurrent after 20 weeks.
HOT SHOT DEBUT
Awarded to the highest-ranking
new entry on Country Airplay and
Country Indicator, respectively.
MOST ADDED
The total number of new adds
officially reported to Billboard by
each reporting station, or by an
automatic-add threshold (seven
plays for the first time in a chart
tracking week, according to
Nielsen BDS) for stations that do
not report adds.
MOST INCREASED AUDIENCE/
PLAYS
Most Increased Audience on
Country Airplay and Most
Increased Plays on Country
Indicator list the songs with the
greatest week-to-week increases
in total audience or plays,
respectively.
AIRPOWER
Awarded on Country Airplay to
titles ranking inside top 20 in
plays and audience rankings for
the first time, with increases in
both plays and audience.
BREAKER
Awarded on Country Airplay
to titles achieving airplay (at
least one detection) at 60% of
reporting stations for the first
time.
