UPDATE
MOORE: ALAN POIZNER; GUYTON: CARISSA RICCARDI; WILLIAMS:CHRIS HOLLO
• Tidal, the new artist-driven streaming service, will present a Jason Aldean
live stream from Acme Feed & Seed at 4 p.m. CT on June 11.
The digital advances — most of which the CMA coordinated or sanctioned
— are ambitious, and they’re likely to become even more so in 2016. The CMA
expects live streaming to become an even bigger part of the mix a year from now.
“Digital is where the consumers are — they are either there or they are moving there,” says Whiteside. “We want to be relevant. We want to be reaching
the audience and the places that they’re engaging with music.”
Reaching the audience is a key piece of the puzzle for the digital partners.
“Pandora’s audience kind of looks like America, so its bias is really toward
what’s popular and what people want to hear,” notes Lars Murray, senior vp
of Pandora’s Music Makers Group. “Country spins about 80 million times a
day on Pandora, so it’s a big, big piece of what we’re doing.”
The recommendation function the company is using on the LP Field video
screens has an obvious connection to Pandora’s basic mission — “The discovery element is such a big part of what we’re doing,” says Murray — but the
festival helps in other ways, too. Pandora will have a booth at Fan Fair X that
gives visitors a chance to experience the service a little more.
Additionally, it will also take the opportunity to enhance its relationships
inside the industry. Pandora will have a hospitality area at the stadium, and it
intends to gather content, particularly interviews and other audio, from artists, who can then have that material installed on their own Pandora channels.
It’s an effort to raise the company’s perception inside the industry and to better communicate the advantages it says it offers artists. Pandora has digital
research available to acts through the Artists Marketing Platform (AMP), introduced in October 2014, which could aid marketing and business decisions.
Leading into the festival, Pandora presented a June 5 concert in Nashville
that featured Lynch, Thompson Square and Kelsea Ballerini. Pandora did
the bulk of the legwork to generate attendance, identifying users who would
be most interested in the lineup.
“One of the big missions here is using the scale we’ve got to connect artists
to their fans,” says Murray. “Country artists and fans tend to have tighter links,
from my observations, so [CMA Fest is] an opportunity for us to demonstrate how Pandora can facilitate
those interactions. That’s why it’s such a great genre
to be experimenting in.”
Fandango’s public presence at the festival is comparatively light — it’ll introduce two videos, featuring
Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker, from its new I
Love Movies YouTube series — but it will gather more
content for future editions from the likes of Rascal
Flatts, Hunter Hayes and Jason Aldean. The McEnA still from Darius

whole group of artists — Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan or Brad Paisley — these
guys are all as mainstream as they come,” says Fandango vp marketing Adam
Rockmore, who previously experienced CMA Music Fest while marketing
ABC’s daytime soaps. “I wouldn’t really say that [country fans are] any more
behind or any more ahead [in their digital use]. They represent probably every
type of consumer out there.”
If anything, as the country consumer leapfrogs to digital acceptance, fans have
surprised marketers with the breadth of their interest. Though younger demos
were quickest to adapt, AT&T’s U-verse product — which includes an interactive Country Deep program with music, videos, performances and interviews
— has had a more even response across age groups than the company expected.
“That’s what kind of jumped out at us,” says AT&T vp U-verse and video
products GW Shaw. “It’s not just a small sub-segment. The whole base is growing and becoming more technically advanced and having high expectations
of being able to interact with the experience as we go.”
Marketers have their own expectations about the audience’s appetite for
digital experiences and enhancements. It’s why the CMA got aggressive this
year with virtual partnerships.
“There’s tremendous opportunity out there,” says Whiteside, “and because
digital is moving so quickly, I feel like you have to be really nimble and jump
on these opportunities, or else you quickly get left behind.”
CASH FOR CARTER CASH VID
Decades before smartphone cameras existed, video cameras were rumored
to be in the house when Johnny Cash proposed to June Carter in February
1968. Footage from that evening has never been seen publicly, but Johnny
Cash Museum founder Bill Miller is now offering cash — a whopping $75,000
— to anyone who can produce tape from that night.
The offer comes as the museum prepares to unveil a new attraction on June
Carter Cash’s birthday, June 23. The Wildwood Flower Garden is named after
one of The Carter Family’s signature songs.
It will be located in a new patio section in the back of the museum and populated with magnolia trees and a variety of plants that Carter Cash raised in
her garden at the Cash home in Hendersonville, Tenn.

MUSIC NOTES
ON THIS DATE IN COUNTRY MUSIC
When Blake Shelton covered Bob Dylan for the forthcoming movie Max,
Shelton ended up recording two versions of the
song, perhaps creating bonus material for some- SHELTON
where down the line. Shelton originally cut an uptempo version of Dylan’s “Forever Young” with
Jerry Douglas on Dobro, delivering on the assignment he had received. As it turned out, the memo
he was sent was incorrect — producers wanted a
ballad version of the song, and they asked that he
rerecord it. That second version was a massive undertaking — it uses a full orchestra and required a
reported 175 audio tracks to capture all the parts.
Max, which stars Robbie Amell and Lauren Graham, arrives June 26.
This week’s CMA Music Festival will likely have a bunch of surprise collaborations and last-minute appearances, but fans in the right locations got their
own unexpected concert experiences in the last few days. Miranda Lambert delivered a free concert on June 4 at Joe’s Bar in Chicago, hinting at the
cover tunes they’d be playing with a tweet that quoted a line from The B-52’s’
“Love Shack.” Two nights later, Taylor Swift’s pop concert at Pittsburgh’s
Heinz Field included a drop-in by Little Big Town, who surprised the crowd
with “Pontoon.”
Reba McEntire will make her first appearance at the CMT Music Awards in
10 years when she performs during the show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
The night also includes a collaboration between Lady Antebellum and EDM
act Zedd. Additionally, Keith Urban will use the setting for the TV debut of
“John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16,” the first single from his next album.
Returning visitors to Nashville might notice a few new developments on the
downtown landscape when they arrive for CMA Music Festival. In addition
to the George Jones Museum and a soon-to-open amphitheater, the Ryman
Auditorium unveiled its $14 million renovation on June 8. And on June 11,
Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley opens a new pop-up store, Tribe Kelley,
in the Gulch that offers items from his new fashion line.

CHART LEGEND
RANKINGS
Country Airplay is ranked by
total audience impressions
for the week ending Sunday
based on monitored airplay of
150 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 104
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.
