Zac Brown, LBT, Sam Hunt
Lead Q2 Risk-Takers
Sales of country recordings kept contracting during secondquarter 2015, though three acts who have created music that
paints outside the lines — Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town
and Sam Hunt — finished one-two among the top-selling albums and tracks for the quarter.
With consumers continuing
to move toward streaming, a
ZAC BROWN BAND
shift that has tamped down sales,
the drop in purchases was less
painful this year than it was during second-quarter 2014. Some
7.2 million country albums were
bought between March 30 and
June 28, according to Nielsen
Music. That represents a slide of
9 percent from the same period
a year ago. Country track downloads totalled 37.5 million, a decline of nearly 15 percent.
While those numbers are
steep, they’re less jarring than
what the country business experienced in 2014, when both Q2 country album and track sales
nosedived 24 percent.
Zac Brown Band’s Jekyll + Hyde, which combines its country core with out-of-genre influences – including collaborations with rocker Chris Cornell and pop singer Sara Bareilles,
plus a Pink Floyd sample – topped the albums list after moving
415,000 copies during the three-month window, more than
double the No. 2 title, Hunt’s Montevallo. Similarly, Little Big
Town’s “Girl Crush,” which tested some conservative listeners
with lyrics that were misinterpreted as referring to lesbianism,
edged past the million mark to lead the 10 best-selling country
songs during the quarter. Hunt’s
“Take Your Time,” which liberally employs pop and R&B influences, was the only other track to
best the 500,000 mark, racking
up 651,000 Q2 downloads.
Other acts that have pushed
sonic boundaries also fared
well. Florida Georgia Line and
Eric Church finished the quarter in the top 10 in both album
and track sales, while Brantley Gilbert’s hard-rocking Just
As I Am landed at No. 8 among
country albums and A Thousand Horses’ Southern-rockin’
“Smoke” and Thomas Rhett’s
Motown-flecked “Crash and Burn” were both counted among
the top 10 songs.
The industry overall was down 6 percent from last year in both
album and track sales. Total album sales amounted to 55.5 million, a drop of 3.7 million from 2014. Track downloads totalled
253.7 million, a slip of 17.9 million purchases.

Goodman and Robold have a long history with major labels in Nashville.
Goodman had been seen as Joe Galante’s protege at RCA Nashville in the
’80s and ’90s, and a possible successor for the top job when he served as the
label’s GM. But he left to found Lyric Street in 1997, heading that company —
and finding considerable success with Rascal Flatts — before Disney shuttered the imprint in 2010. Ironically, Disney closed the label and let Goodman
go the same week that it was announced Galante would be handing the Sony
Nashville baton to Gary Overton.
Robold brings a wealth of experience from labels that were in competition with RCA and Sony, having enjoyed a 22-year run at Polygram/
Universal that ended with him becoming that label group’s executive VP/GM
in Nashville. More recently, Robold spent a year at the helm of Zac Brown’s
Southern Ground Artists label.

BENSON: LISA POLLARD
GOODMAN TO FILL SONY MUSIC POST
After months of speculation about what Sony Music’s leadership would do
about the empty top spot in its Nashville office, Randy Goodman, founder
and former president of the defunct Lyric Street label, will take over the country and Christian division, multiple sources say. The ink is not yet dry on the
contract, but is expected to be within 24 hours.
Another industry veteran who had been rumored for the job, Ken Robold,
is said to be coming in as Sony Nashville’s new GM. Although Sony didn’t immediately confirm the reports, an announcement about their respective appointments is believed to be imminent.
The news comes as a relief to many on Music Row who have spent the last
three-and-a-half months wondering how Sony Nashville could continue
without someone in charge. As everyone in town seemed to know — and the
Wikileaks Sony documents dump confirmed — Sony had wanted to hire manager Jason Owen for the top job last year, but he and Sony ultimately weren’t
able to come to terms on a deal that would allow him to keep his management

Led By Blake Shelton’s ‘Sangria,’
Country’s Not A Dry Format After All
Cheers to Blake Shelton’s “Sangria” (Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville),
which holds the No. 1 spot for a second week on Billboard’s Country Airplay
chart (dated July 18). The content of the lyrics — drinking — has certainly been
one of the major themes in country music since the very beginning. However,
there have been long periods of time in recent history that they were missing
in the country charts’ upper reaches.
For instance, in 2005, five songs that clearly reference drinking in their
titles hit the Hot Country Songs top 10. After that, we hit a dry spell (pun intended). Just one song alluding to, or outright mentioning, drinking in its title
made the top 10 in 2006 (Toby Keith’s “Get Drunk and Be Somebody”); two
did in 2007; and then, even more sharply, none did in 2008 and 2009. All in
all, only five country songs that reference drinking in their titles reached the
top from 2006 to 2011. Drinking songs rebounded strongly in 2012, with six
hitting the top 10. A wobble occurred in 2013, with only one such top 10, but
six more tasted top 10 success in 2014. In 2015, we have already seen four.
Why the greater outpouring of top 10s referencing drinking since 2012? Admittedly, country has always cycled
through various styles, from traditional to pop-sounding
country, to songs with a rock edge or even hip-hop influences.
It just makes sense that drinking songs also rotate in and
out, depending on the varying temperature of the format’s
sound. Further, when you consider the “bro-country” that
has infiltrated country airwaves in recent years, drinking
themes go down especially smooth.
Scott Mahalick, executive VP programming for Alpha
Broadcasting, says that when drinking songs were largely
missing from the charts, many 25- to 54-year-olds listening to country radio wanted lyrics with mature themes. Now,
“younger people are listening to country more and more, and
it makes sense that they want fun music,” he says. “A lot of
the current success of drinking songs was inspired by Toby Keith, who had
songs like ‘Red Solo Cup’ and ‘Beers Ago,’ ” both top 10s on Hot Country Songs
in 2012. “Because success chases success, we now have this current trend.”
Mahalick also thinks that the current round of drinking songs are easily palatable to women, which traditionally may not have been the case.
Today’s drinking songs tend to be party-driven, as opposed to telling sad tales
of men drowning their sorrows alone at a bar. “When it was [Merle] Haggard
or [George] Jones singing about alcohol back in the day, those were ‘guy’
songs,” says Mahalick. “But if it’s a young, cool artist like Luke Bryan, Jason
Aldean or Eric Church on the topic, women love it.”
PANEL CHANGES: Effective with the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated
Aug. 1 (released July 20), KIZN Boise, Idaho, will join the Country Airplay
panel, replacing the market’s KQFC. Thus, the panel’s count will remain at
150 reporters.
Additionally, the following stations’ airplay will begin
reporting to the Hot Country Songs chart — although not
Country Airplay — also for the chart dated Aug. 1: WNNF
Cincinnati; KJJY Des Moines, Iowa; WDRQ Detroit; and
WSM-FM Nashville.
SHELTON
NEW RECURRENT RULE: As of the Country Indicator chart
dated July 18 (see page 13), Billboard has amended the rules
by which songs move to recurrent status. On Country Indicator, descending, non-bulleted titles below No. 10 will
continue to move to recurrent status after 20 weeks. Now,
however, a second qualifier will dictate recurrent status:
After 10 weeks, songs will be moved if they post a third consecutive week of decline in plays. Check out the full Charts

Tom Cruise set tongues wagging when
he randomly appeared in the crowd during Nashville’s Fourth of July fireworks
display, headlined by Martina McBride.
One other notable Independence Day concert moment came during the finale of Willie Nelson’s Fourth of July Picnic in Austin:
He was joined by Kris Kristofferson, Eric
Church and Jamey Johnson on “Roll Me
Up and Smoke Me When I Die.”
Luke Bryan’s forthcoming album, Kill the Lights, has a higher quotient of selfwritten material than 2013’s Crash My Party. The standard version of Kill the
Lights features six songs that he co-wrote — including two one-word titles,
“Fast” and “Move” — while a Target-exclusive deluxe edition offers three
more Bryan compositions. Crash My Party featured just two Bryan-penned
titles. Kill the Lights also features Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild as a duet
partner on “Home Alone Tonight.”
Wynonna Judd and Terri Clark are the latest additions to Charlie
Daniels’ resurrected Volunteer Jam, set for Aug. 12 at Nashville’s Bridgestone
Arena. More than 25 acts had previously committed to the show, including
a number that will perform on a free stage outside the arena. Already in the
lineup: Craig Morgan, Lee Roy Parnell, Alabama, Trace Adkins and the
Oak Ridge Boys.

Carrie Underwood may or may not be a victor when the final votes are tallied
after three rounds of ballots this fall, but she was the winner in one aspect of
the 2015 Country Music Association Awards: a solicitation for votes arrived
via email shortly after 9 a.m. CT on July 6, roughly three hours before the CMA
opened the nominating round in awards voting. Underwood’s email, which
suggested five categories in which she might
be appropriate, was the first sent to potential
voters through the CMA’s approved relationship with HiFi Fusion.
