New Music Weeky’s Inside Country Radio focuses weekly on the hottest artist at Country college radio. Chart activity, new releases and where to find them at U.S. radio.
Brantley Gilbert has teamed up with Justin Moore & Thomas Rhett for a strong Country entry. “Small Town Throw Down” (Valory Music/Universal) brings this powerhouse trio of new Country talent that is sure to light up any playlist. Lady Antebellum just keep rolling out the hits. Their latest in “Bartender” (Capitol Nashville) should keep them on top of their game for […]
Tim McGraw made a smart move taking his wife Faith Hill out for dinner and a duet. Together they make beautiful music as “Meanwhile Back At Mama’s” (Big Machine/Universal) pulls in stellar numbers. Watch this gem move the #1 in record time. Brad Paisley has another gem on his hands. The master guitar player/vocalist is taking his new “River Bank” (Arista […]
The Band Perry are off and running with another radio hit. “Chainsaw” (Republic Nashville) is their latest and it’s another angry song with a formula that seems to really be working for this family act. We’ve been getting lots of raves regarding the band Swon Brothers. Their single “Later On” (Arista Nashville) is fast becoming a real favorite among our […]
Tim McGraw is back with another solid gem. “Lookin’ For That Girl” (Big Machine/ Universal) should do very well as Tim and his new label seem to be making magic together. Brantley Gilbert continues to build a huge base of music fans. His new release “Bottoms Up” (Valory Music/Universal) should help to take him to even higher places. I […]
Jason Aldean keeps his name high atop many Country artists once again. His new single “When She Says Baby” (Broken Bow/ Sony) is getting rave reviews and many of our music and program directors are all over this one big time.

Eric Church is leading the pack once again at Country. His new single “The Outsiders” (EMI) is fast becoming a real favorite among our panel of music and program directors. I really love the new Justin Moore single. “Lettin’ The Night Roll” (Valory) is one of his best to date and I hope that it gets a fair shake at […]
Keith Urban’s teaming with Country star Miranda Lambert has turned out to be a very smart move. Together they do a pretty solid job of their “We Were Us” (Capitol Nashville) single. It’s coming on the heels of Keith’s latest #1 and has even passed up Miranda’s current single. It has all the making of a huge #1 single to […]
Brad Paisley continues his powerhouse ways at country radio with yet another hit to add to his big collection. “I Can’t Change the World” (Arista Nashville) is the latest from one of the music industry’s best guitarist/vocalist.

Taylor Swift continues to amaze us at Country (and other formats). Not only did she just come off another #1 with “Highway Don’t Care” featuring Tim McGraw, her new single “Red” (Big Machine/ Universal) the title song from her current CD is on fire. Newcomer Cassadee Pope that first came to our attention through The Voice on NBC has got a […]
Keith Urban doesn’t really need American Idol to keep his Country power but it most certainly helps. “Little Bit Of Everything” (Capitol) from Keith underscores just why he is such a force in Country music. The Florida Georgia Line can’t be any hotter. Not only are they crossing formats, they are taking their new single “Round Here” (Universal Republic) for […]
