CMA Music Festival’s
Affirmative Wall Of Emotion
“What does music mean in your life?”
The question is simple. The response was remarkable. The
Country Music Association put up a wall during the CMA Music
Festival June 11-14 and provided pens and Post-it notes for visitors to write a few words about how music changed their lives.
One by one, the board accumulated thousands of reactions.
Some of them were driven by an obsession about a particular artist — Taylor Swift, Hunter Hayes or Luke Bryan, for
example — but others went straight to the value of music as a
transformative force:
Music is a heart with lyrics.
Therapy to get through life!
Music keeps me going when I feel like
giving up.
“Every day I would go and check it,” says CMA CEO Sarah
Trahern. “It started off as one thing, to be an interactive activity
to keep people busy, and it ended up — I’m going to get tearyeyed over this — it ended up saying to me what the magic of
Music Fest is all about, which is the interaction between people
and music on all sorts of different levels.”
Some levels of music’s value were easily described by fans:
Fun.
Dance party!!
Escape from reality.
Others were much more poignant:
Music is a language that speaks more
than any spoken language.
Where words fail, music speaks.
Another response cleverly used two
Post-it notes to complete a heart:
Music was playing when we first met.
The festival can be brutal on the people who work it — it’s
hot and sticky, it’s difficult to navigate through the tens of
thousands of bodies, and schedules tend to be packed. Yet in
the middle of the frenzy, the same Post-its that people affix to
their computer screens as a reminder about mundane deadlines
suddenly became a reminder to workers who discovered the
board about the purpose behind their job.
Plenty of musicians would agree
with that latter assessment. Bruce
Springsteen has often used his
concerts to evangelize about the power of a rock’n’roll song
to change a life. Producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Brothers
Osborne) doesn’t see himself as a religious person, but he converted a church into a recording studio, and he sees music as
an other-worldly glue.
“People who make music are messing with vibration, and
that’s way more higher a calling than any minister or any spoken

word or theology,” said Joyce in early 2014. “We speak in a language, we don’t
even know what it is. We’re shaping music vibrations to make somebody feel
sad or happy. That’s like, incredible. That would be way more God’s language,
or whatever-you-want-to-call-it language, than some church.”
In that way, Keith Urban — whose new single is the aptly titled “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16” — sees music as a means for exploring spirituality
and the meaning of life.
“It’s, for me, what it’s intended for,” he says. “I like to be able to make my
own relationship to that that I believe in.”
Spirituality for Dummies defines a spiritual life as one that combines love
and respect for God, for the self and for others. Music operates with the same
set of connectors. The origination of melody remains a mystery — “It’s a gift
from God,” said Brian Wilson in 2002. It’s an expression of one person’s internal creative world, and when it works, it can motivate a mass of people to
sing an entire chorus back to an artist on a stage.
“I think it’s spiritual,” says Miranda Lambert. “It’s something that brings
people together. I look out at my shows and I think, ‘All these people from all
different walks of life, all kinds of ages and sizes and everything else, and the
one thing that’s bringing us all here is music that’s moved them in some way.’ ”

UPDATE
RAELYNN: ERIC MCCANDLESS
Music’s connective property was on full display during the June 10 CMT
Music Awards when Urban sang “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16” for
the first time on TV. The camera caught Urban’s wife, Nicole Kidman, singing along during part of the performance, and that simple image was hugely
impactful to “John Cougar” co-writer Shane McAnally.
“I texted Keith after that and said, ‘You know, whatever happens with this
song, what just happened on my TV was enough,’ ” notes McAnally. “It’s the
whole reason that we do this, because it is about that connection. That [camera
shot] was about a connection of two people, but that’s just a great metaphor for
the connection that we all feel through music, and I really was moved by it.”
The Post-it note wall may become a metaphor on its own. The CMA captured
the entire structure and all the individual messages on camera, and Trahern
is thinking about blowing up the image and putting it on display at the office
as a reminder to the staff about what makes the music business unique. She’s
likewise mulling the idea of doing additional Post-it walls backstage at the
awards or at the annual CMA Country Christmas taping to serve as a reminder
that behind the tedium of schedules, industry politics and impersonal technology, it’s still possible for even the most cynical, jaded country music veteran
to make a difference with their life’s vocation.
“It’s great to stop and think for a moment about why we get to do this,” suggests Trahern. “It really is a blessing and a responsibility, and it’s something
much bigger than a 9-to-5 business.”

GOOD WORKS
For the sixth year, the Academy of Country Music is welcoming a handful of
Nashville’s creative talents to the ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp, a program
that helps the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center study individuals with Williams
syndrome in a concentrated way.
This year’s edition featured “Lose My Mind” songwriters Ross Copperman and Heather Morgan leading the campers as they wrote a song from
start to finish on June 19. Others scheduled to participate through June 23 include Hunter Hayes, Scotty McCreery, the Swon Brothers and JT Hodges.
Williams syndrome is a genetic condition that often results in a trusting lack
of borders in personal interactions and a propensity for musical expression.
Music Camp participants also got to experience a recording studio and the
Bluebird Café, and will perform with Hayes on the Grand Ole Opry on June 23.
JT Hodges took part in the ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp on June 20
as the participants, all diagnosed with Williams syndrome, learned to
line dance at Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon. From left are Music Camp
founder Lori Lytle, ACM Lifting Lives manager Hannah Martin, Hodges
and ACM executive vp/managing director Tiffany Moon.
ON THE CHARTS
BALLERINI: JEREMY RYAN
Kelsea Ballerini First Female
To Lead With Debut Single Since 2006
Kelsea Ballerini scores the first debut No. 1 by a woman on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated July 4) in more than nine years, as “Love Me Like You
Mean It” (Black River) rises 2-1 in its 38th week. The song tops the chart as the
Greatest Gainer with a 12 percent increase to 47.1 million audience impressions in the week ending June 21, according to Nielsen Music.
“Love” marks the first career-opening Country Airplay No. 1 by a female
artist since Carrie Underwood arrived with her first single officially promoted to country radio, “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” which began
a six-week reign on the chart dated Jan. 21, 2006. (Underwood had first charted two non-promoted entries that failed
to rise higher than No. 50 on the Country Airplay chart in the
wake of her winning the 2005 season of Fox’s American Idol.)
“I’ve been writing songs since I was 12 years old, and so
many times throughout this journey I’ve wondered if I was
good at it or if this is what I was supposed to do,” Ballerini
tells Billboard exclusively. “To see it work, and as early like
it has, is so reassuring that this is what I’m supposed to be
doing. I’m so thankful that radio has given me a chance. It is
incredibly humbling.”
Having “Love” reach No. 1 “is a culmination of so many
people’s outstanding efforts,” adds Black River CEO Gordon Kerr. Like Ballerini, Black River celebrates its first Country Airplay No. 1. “It’s a huge day
for us as an independent record label. I’m incredibly proud of Kelsea. So many
people have embraced us and even gone out on a limb to support us. I’m thankful they took a chance on a new artist, and I’m glad that we’ve proven that to
be a good risk.”
Here’s a look at the elite women to take a debut country single to No. 1 (as a
lead artist) on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, dating to the tally’s Jan. 20,
1990 launch: “Love Me Like You Mean It,” Ballerini, July 4, 2015 (one week
to date); “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” Underwood, Jan. 21, 2006 (six); “Redneck
Woman,” Gretchen Wilson, May 29, 2004 (five); “What I Really Meant to
Say,” Cyndi Thompson, Sept. 22, 2001 (three); “There Is No Arizona,” Jamie
O’Neal, Feb. 17, 2001 (one); “Strawberry Wine,” Deana Carter, Nov. 23,
1996 (two); “Wild One,” Faith Hill, Jan. 1, 1994 (four); “She Is His Only Need,”
Wynonna, April 11, 1992 (one; her first solo single apart from The Judds);
and “She’s in Love With the Boy,” Trisha Yearwood, Aug.
3, 1991 (two).
Notably, Ballerini’s “Love” is the first debut No. 1 by a
woman (as a lead) on an independent label. It’s the first leader
by a woman on an indie at all since Taylor Swift ruled with
“Ours,” on Big Machine, on the March 31, 2012 chart. As
previously reported, as “Love” was scaling the Country Airplay’s top 30, it received a high-profile push from Swift, who
endorsed it on Twitter on March 9.
More superlatives surrounding Ballerini’s debut Country
Airplay No. 1: It marks the first No. 1 by a woman in a lead
BALLERINI
role since Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert’s “We Were
Us” topped the Dec. 7, 2013 chart. It’s the first No. 1 by a
female unaccompanied by a male artist since Underwood’s “Blown Away”
stormed to No. 1 for two weeks beginning Oct. 27, 2012.
Ballerini’s “Love” also completes the steadiest trip to No. 1 on Country
Airplay for a song by a woman with lead billing. It passes the 35-week ascent
of Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” (Nov. 11, 2006).

ON THIS DATE IN COUNTRY MUSIC
Surprise! Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were not on the announced
schedule for the Grand Ole Opry this past weekend, but that didn’t stop them
from dropping by the WSM-AM Nashville show. The couple, who have hinted
at prospects that they might finally put together
a duets album, combined voices on four songs
during the June 19 broadcast, beginning with
her debut single, “She’s in Love With the Boy.”
They also covered three country duets that were
made famous during the 1970s: “After the Fire Is
Gone” (Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, 1971),
“I Don’t Want to Have to Marry You” (Jim Ed
Brown & Helen Cornelius, 1976) and “Golden
Ring” (George Jones & Tammy Wynette, 1976).

Surprise II! When Kenny Chesney and Jason
Aldean rolled into Green Bay’s Lambeau Field
on June 20, concert advertisements promised Brantley Gilbert and Cole
Swindell as opening acts. What they didn’t mention was the bonus: Grace
Potter, who popped in unannounced to sing “Wild Child” and “You and Tequila” with Chesney. Potter turned 32 the same day, and she was serenaded
with a round of “Happy Birthday” from 53,000 people. One other guest during the show: Packers coach Mike McCarthy, who made an onstage appearance during Chesney’s football ballad “The Boys of Fall.”
Dolly Parton will deliver her first Nashville concert in a dozen years on July 31
when she plays the annual Dustin Wells Foundation Gift of Music benefit for
the W.O. Smith Music School. The show takes place at the Ryman Auditorium,
the same venue where Parton was officially welcomed as a Grand Ole Opry
member on Jan. 4, 1969. The concert sold out the same day tickets went on sale.
After making his first national connection with the song “Small Town USA,”
Justin Moore is now being counted on to help a regional bank connect with
the general public. Moore was announced as a spokesman for Simmons Bank
during the institution’s annual shareholders meeting in Pine Bluff, Ark. That
gathering is 39 miles from Moore’s hometown: Poyen, Ark.

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.
