Where Are The Women?
We received a number of notes following our July 16, 2007
Music Edition lead story about eight artists being responsible
for 29% of all Country airplay. Perhaps the most
FAQ from those seeing that the top eight were Tim
McGraw, Toby Keith, George Strait, Kenny
Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson, Brad
Paisley and Keith Urban was, “Where are the
women?”
While that’s always a good question, for our
purposes we will stick to that question as it
specifically relates to airplay. Also for our purposes,
because Sugarland’s sound is predominantly
female with Jennifer Nettles’ lead vocals (no
offense to Kristian Bush), we are including the
duo in this discussion of female airplay (again, no
offense, Kristian).
All that said, the Top 10 Women, with their
overall rank in parentheses, are: Sugarland (10),
Carrie Underwood (11), Martina McBride (15),
Faith Hill (25), Taylor Swift (29), Sara Evans (31), Jo Dee
Messina (39), the Wreckers (40), Shania Twain (41) and
LeAnn Rimes (44).
According to airplay measured by Mediabase 24/7, these 10
women generate 13% of all Country radio airplay (Current,
Recurrent and Gold) since January 1, 2007. And, for those
preferring to compare apples-to-apples, the top eight females
yield 11% of all Country airplay, almost one third that delivered
(continued on page 4)
by the top eight guys.

Country Meets Worship Music
Country artists performing gospel music is nothing
new, with recent albums from Alan Jackson and Alabama
having done quite well. The October 2
release of Songs 4 Worship: Country brings
some of this format’s stars into the largely
unexplored terrain of the burgeoning Praise
& Worship movement.

Country Aircheck Music Edition
Produced by songwriter/producer Michael Curtis and
Alabama’s Teddy Gentry, the 16-song collection features
artists including Diamond Rio, Rascal Flatts, Emerson
Drive and Rebecca Lynn Howard performing newer
songs heard by millions in church services each week.
Based on Time Life’s success with both worship music
and country, Curtis approached the company with the
idea to merge the two. The next step was enlisting Gentry
as co-producer. “Teddy is a great brother of mine and I
just felt he should help me produce it,” Curtis says. “He
called some friends, I called some friends and we started
booking sessions.”
The results exceeded Gentry’s expectations. “I was
hesitant at first because I cut my teeth on all the old hymns
and wasn’t as familiar with the newer stuff,” he says. “But
nine out of 10 of the first songs we picked ended up being
the ones the artist recorded. That made me feel like we did
a good job as producers matching artists with songs.”
For Time Life Executive Producer Mitch Peyser, the
combination is a natural. “Like many great projects a lot
of things came together with good timing,” he says. “Time
Life has had tremendous success with both country and
worship music collections.
“We did a Songs 4 Worship album with Integrity
Music (2002) that blew the lid off things. We brought in
a million new customers in a year. The first volume sold
two million copies and the series as a whole has sold
close to 10 million. And we’ve always been known for
great country collections.”
A country addition in the Songs 4 Worship series is new
ground, and required new recordings. “We’re the first ones
out there with country artists of this stature doing praise
and worship songs,” Peyser says. “And we knew these
had to be new recordings because they don’t already exist.
There are country sounding Christian songs, but there
aren’t any recordings of major country artists doing the

The Time Life “full 360” marketing and distribution
plan includes the kind of direct response television
campaign for which the company is known, as well as
Christian marketplace and traditional retail efforts.
Curtis is hopeful that Country radio will join the album’s
artists in supporting the project. “The secular industry may
not know how this music is filling stadiums and arenas,
but the artists on this album have been a joy to work
with,” he says. “They’re all posting items about it on their
websites. I’ve talked to some Country radio people who
feel programmers will embrace this. There’s certainly an
opportunity with the Sunday morning shows.”

Women & Airplay (continued from page 1)
Perhaps most remarkable about this list is the high rankings
by women without a large body of Gold. All eight of the
men have been around for a while and have a number of
songs generating spins. However, four of the top 10 women
– Sugarland (no offense, Kristian), Carrie, Taylor and the
Wreckers -- have been around a relatively short time and
don’t have a lot of older titles contributing to their totals.
Taylor Swift’s inclusion in the top 10 is especially noteworthy,

considering she’s only in the middle of her second single!
It must also be noted that skewing these figures somewhat is
the lack of a “hit single” on the radio in the last seven months
by some of these artists. In the stat world, spins from current
hits, and to some degree, Hot Recurrents, dwarf the spins
received from old Gold. That accounts, to some degree, for
Reba McEntire coming in at No. 45 and Trisha Yearwood at
No. 55.
Also of interest is the disparity in airplay among even our
top 10 women. Sugarland leads with 168,765 plays and is
closely followed by Carrie and Martina. Faith is fourth with
85,802 year-to-date plays. The spins decline from there, with
LeAnn at No. 10 registering a total of 47,043 spins.
Finally, just for grins, I wondered how much airplay various
groups of artists contributed to the overall sound of Country
radio. Running the Mediabase 24/7 Top 500 Country airplay
acts of the year (with No. 500 having 96 all-in plays thus far)
here’s how it breaks out:
The top 10 artists get 34% of all airplay.
The top 20 artists get 53% of all airplay.
The top 30 artists get 65% of all airplay.
The top 40 artists get 73% of all airplay.
The top 50 artists get 80% of all airplay.
