How
The Chart Is Compiled, And Why It Is Done This Way.
This
is a list of the Top 40 Most Popular Songs released on the Rush
Released promotional CD.
The
Hotdisc charts are compiled from DJs and industry professionals'
ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released
CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work
in Europe as there are no terrestrial country stations in this
area. The hundreds of country shows are likely to play a particular
song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering
airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America
where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it cannot
work here.
The
Hotdisc charts are therefore put together weekly using ratings
supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three
months' editions of Rush Released. The scores are totalled up
and averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs
which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase
the songs which the DJs and media people are pinpointing as top
quality songs, which is a very useful exercise, particularly to
all our clients and DJs as it is free of politics, hype and rigging
and done on merit!

THE
GRASCALS SNEAK THEIR FIRST HOTDISC NUMBER 1
Just
when it looked as if R W Hampton was set for a fourth week at
the top of the Hotdisc charts, up pop The Grascals to claim the
number one position despite dropping down to 3 last week. It was
actually a very close run thing over the past few weeks between
the bluegrass band, R W and the Bellamy Brothers, but this week
it's the turn of the band to look down at everyone from above.
Their cover of the Monkees hit - which was also a country success
several years ago for a male artist whose name escapes all of
us in the office. It was over 20 years ago it happened and if
anyone can help jog the memory on who that was we would appreciate
that!
While
the Bellamys slip back a few places and R W drops to number 2
there's a surge for David Bradley and Guy Penard who climb into
the top five this week and have an outside chance of knocking
the Grascals off next week - but there's a lot of new competition
in seven days time with some very high quality new releases out
there on the September Hotdisc, so anything can happen.
David
Bradley retains his British and Irish number one slot with "Soak
It Up" and he will be the first ever number one song played
on the new Hotdisc British & Irish Chart show which goes to
air on UKCountryRadio.com presented by Phil Butler on Monday at
8pm. You can click on the link from our home page
The Country Hotdisc to listen, and you can also hear the Hotdisc
Half Hour with Jackie Storrar who returns to the airwaves after
a break. But that is not all the radio news we have for you because
next month the Hotdisc Top 40 in association with Airplay Direct
will go to air on CMR Nashville in a peak Sunday slot at mid-day,
and the exciting news is that the chart day will move from Thursday
to Sunday and will be announced exclusively on the two hour Top
40 show which will be presented by Stuart Cameron; so to hear
the countdown first tune in to Stuart's brand new programme on
Sunday 3rd October.............The

R.W.
tops Hotdisc Chart in Europe with 'Cowboy's Prayer'!
 |
Nashville,
TN - September 8, 2010) Brian Ferriman, president of Savannah Music
(USA Inc.) and personal manager of Cimarron Sounds recording artist
R.W. Hampton, is pleased to report that Hampton's current European
single, Cowboy's Prayer, the leadoff track from his forthcoming
international CD release, Austin
To Boston, has just finished an impressive three week run at
Number One on the European Hotdisc Top 40 Country chart beginning
Thursday, August 12 and continuing through Wednesday, September
1. Cowboy's Prayer made its debut on the Hotdisc chart at #2 the
week of August 5, moving into the top spot the following week. |
The
Hotdisc Top 40 Chart is a list of the Top 40 most popular songs released
on the Rush Released promotional compilation CD. Similar in concept
to the American CDX and CD-Tex compilation CDs sent to subscribing country
music radio programmers (chiefly in the United States), the European
Rush Released compilation CD is distributed monthly to a subscription
list of over 700 country music DJs located primarily in the United Kingdom
and the European Union. Each week the DJs who receive Rush Released
send back reaction sheets to the publishers of Rush Released in which
they are given the chance to rate every song from 10 points to zero.
The resulting chart lists the songs with the highest ratings for that
week. It is exclusively for clients of the Rush Released CD, and at
any given time it identifies the 40 most popular Rush Released songs
out of an active universe of approximately 80 country-oriented songs.
Reflecting
the diversity of the European country music radio environment, where
the sounds and songs of traditional country music (and cowboy music,
too,) are embraced alongside today's country music, artists who have
had a Number One single on the Hotdisc Top 40 in the past two years
include Tim McGraw, Mark Chesnutt, George Jones, Gretchen Peters, Michelle
Wright, Gene Watson, Billy Yates, Vince Gill, T. Graham Brown, Lee Ann
Rimes, the Bellamy Brothers, Clay Walker, Jim Reeves, Don Williams -
and R.W. Hampton.
In
fact, Cowboy's Prayer is Hampton's second #1 on the Hotdisc chart, following
up his chart topping success early last year with We've Taken Bob Back
To Tulsa from his monumental album, Oklahoma... Where The West Remains.
The
timing is favorable for the chart success of Cowboy's Prayer: Hampton
makes his first trip to the United Kingdom in early October at the invitation
of the British Country Music Association to participate in the festivities
surrounding their annual Awards show. Proper Music will release Austin
To Boston in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2010, shortly after
its Cimarron Sounds release in America.
Everyone
at Savannah Music congratulates R.W. and wishes him continued success
with his growing career - inside and outside the United States.
More
can be learned about R.W. Hampton at his website.
