CRS 2022: Know Before You Go

Returning in-person to CRS after a year of pandemic-induced virtual sessions brings a new set of challenges and frequently asked questions. Before CRS 2022 officially kicks off Feb. 23 – just nine days from now – Country Aircheck asked CRB Exec. Dir. RJ Curtis to give the lay of the land. “It is imperative everyone signs on to the 3P America website and completes the checklist before CRS,” says Curtis. This year, proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 48 hours is required to pick up RJ Curtis credentials. CRB has partnered with 3P America and their Smart Verify Compliance Portal to securely authenticate CRS attendees’ information. “When you log on, it will take approximately five to 10 minutes to upload and submit your identification and vaccination card or negative COVID PCR test results,” Curtis explains. “After you’ve submitted information through the portal, your documentation will be verified, and you’ll receive an email with a QR code.” That unique code will be scanned at the health check stands at the Omni Hotel before attendees can proceed to pick up their badges for CRS. Curtis notes, “We won’t be allowing anyone to pick up credentials without checking in at the health desk, and we can’t allow anyone to pick up passes for others, either.” One Big, Appy Family: The 3P process begins by registering a user account via the portal link here. Search CRS ’22 in the “company directory” page and select the CRS link. Then follow the prompts, provide the required information and answer the health questionnaire. Upload clear photos of the requested documents and expect approval within a few hours. An onsite testing option will be offered for those not using the 3P app. “But,” Curtis warns, “the most expeditious way to move through the check-in process is to use the portal.” Additionally, he says 3P America will not keep or store registrants’ data after the event, and the site and portal are secure. “This is what they do – they handle this type of medical and personal data and have (continued on page 11)

Radio Reacts To Ratings

Last week’s story on Country radio’s record-low PPM ratings (Country’s Forgettable Month Year) touched a nerve with readers, including via a lengthy social media thread. Among the responses from radio, a few themes emerged on music and radio mechanics. A major market programmer who requested anonymity asks, “What do we believe in? We’re being asked to believe in everything and we’re kind of doing that, but you end up with an audience that is less passionate and maybe even confused. I can’t keep up with 20 new artists a year and it’s my job. Imagine how that lands on the average listener.” The PD continues, “These two industries have always had different goals, but that difference is now stark. The record business revenue model is based on something radio can’t and shouldn’t try to do. But we are attempting and pretending to for various reasons. We want to be partners, but our partners want us to play 90 artists and we just can’t. We all want a healthy format and we don’t have the answer. Right now we play along with the record companies; we play too many artists and we don’t take enough chances. And this is radio’s fault, to be clear.”

Country Aircheck tracked the average cume among all country stations in PPM markets dating back to October 2010 – the first month in which all 48 markets had converted to electronic measurement. The largest average cume came in July 2013, with 490,537 listeners per station. The lockdown month of April 2020 remains the lowest month with 226,274, while the Holiday 2021 comes in just above that with an average cume of 238,207.

WPCV/Lakeland OM/PD Bob Walker says Country’s decline is about a lot more than COVID. “With a sample size of the entire panel and a measurement period spanning well over a decade, the drop in ratings can only be poor music strategy,” he posted last week. “The pandemic, lack of touring, inability 100000 to be in the community – none of that keeps Bob Walker a listener tuned to a radio station on Monday morning if the music mix is wrong. Plus, the slide is much bigger than the past two years.” “Anybody else remember the 13-week rule?” WXBQ/Johnson City, TN’s Bill Hagy asked on Facebook. For those who don’t, he clarified. “In the ‘90s there was a programmer and 0 consultant named Bob Moody who played songs for 13 weeks and, whatever level it got to on the chart was what it was. Then he moved on. On the flipside, country was on fire at that time Bill Hagy and a lot of artists were making it through.”

Recognizing that perhaps 13 weeks may be a bit aggressive, he says, “My point is, there’s surely something between 13 weeks and 63 weeks that will work a lot better for everyone.” KRTY/San Jose GM Nate Deaton disagrees with those who say country is experiencing a soft music cycle. “When I look at the majority of station playlists I see 20 currents and a Nate Deaton bunch of recurrents, golds and other stuff that has been played to death,” he posted. “KRTY’s ratings have not declined and we are aggressive on new music and new artists. Play new music embrace new artists and the audience will react for your clients. Might not show in the ratings, but it will in results.” He points to a Garth Brooks dive bar show promotion he calls the “biggest listener interactive contest I have ever had ... but according to Nielsen we were down 0.2 points.” Trusting what is seen and felt on the streets versus questionable data is another common refrain. The anonymous programmer points to several things radio can fix, starting with focus. “Every station needs a couple of artists they’re committed to playing three or four singles by

in a year’s time. If we were more married to the artists, they’d be less afraid to release edgier and potentially more memorable songs once in awhile. Also, place more emphasis on hard ticket sales. If an artist moves the needle in your market, whether it’s a club or an arena, pay attention. Seeing an artist in person creates an emotional attachment. That needs to have more weight. We can still be the local conduit to our listeners’ favorite artists.” Finally, the PD questions data choices. “Stop looking at streaming statistics. They don’t mean anything. The label makes the most money on streaming and they have the most influence over how that streaming occurs. It’s clearly easier for them to get records played by a DSP. Better streaming statistics exist – saves, skips, searches, plays from collections – but the streamers aren’t sharing that info. Until they do, ignore streaming data.” Walker agrees that bad data is a problem. “[Contributing to the problem is] a chart fueled by overnight spins and non-radio consumption data used to add songs,” he says. “Weak songs live forever in darkness; using consumption data to add songs is like a restaurant calling the supermarket to see what is selling today. Then they put it on tonight’s menu .... Real PPM strategy is the only solution.” –Chuck Aly

Wallen Launches Tour At MSG

After postponing the opening weekend of his The Dangerous Tour 2022 due to inclement weather, Big Loud’s Morgan Wallen officially launched at New York City’s Madison Square Garden Feb. 9-10. Former Audacy WNSH/New York morning host Kelly Ford and Country Swag Founder Stephanie Wagner were in attendance and tell Country Aircheck what to expect during the remaining shows on the 54-stop tour. “The crowd was inside early to catch the openers; they were pumped and ready to Kelly Ford party,” reports Ford. More than 12,000 attended opening night, and the venue was near capacity by 8pm. “The crowd didn’t seem too familiar with Larry Fleet but went nuts when Hardy hit the stage and only got louder when he wore a New York Knicks jersey,” Ford adds. Wagner notes, “Hardy surprised everyone by bringing out [Stoney Creek’s] Stephanie Lindsay Ell to sing his No. 1, ‘One Beer.’” Wagner Wallen took the stage for a 23-song set that

OFF THE RECORD Country Aircheck goes Off The Record with 2022 CMT Listen Up artist Brittney Spencer: The past couple of years, I’ve learned to trust myself more — listening to my gut feelings has carried me a great deal. I live alone, so I’ve had a lot of time to really sit with my thoughts and “hear myself out.” I’ve learned that I probably already have the answers I’m looking for, or at the very least, the necessary wisdom around me to figure it out. I loved the local Lite Rock station growing up … they played a little bit of everything: Fleetwood Mac, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey, Corrine Bailey Rae, Dixie BRITTNEY Chicks, everybody. SPENCER The first time I heard myself on the radio, I cried in my car the entire time, filmed it and posted it on Instagram. I had already planned to film my reaction to post online, but I certainly hadn’t planned on crying the whole time. I guess I just couldn’t hold back the dam of emotions. They literally just sprung up on me. I almost didn’t video, because it was so dramatic, but I’m content with my decision. Shout out to Amy Brown and The Bobby Bones Show! I’m working up some new music now, but my latest single is “Sober & Skinny.” It’s a conversation between two partners who project their own insecurities and vices onto each other. It’s a bit of a challenge trying to describe a song that tells a really nuanced story, and I hardly ever do it justice. I’ve concluded that the best description is within the song itself. Check it out. :) I wish I’d written “Whiskey Lullaby.” That’s my favorite country song. It’s so well written, and I feel something every time I hear it, even after all these years. That’s always the goal in music, I think. My favorite song on the radio – any format – right now is “abcdefu” by Gayle; “Slow Down Summer” by Thomas Rhett; Morgan Wade’s “Wilder Days;” and “Meet Me At Our Spot” by Willow, The Anxiety and Tyler Cole. I’m currently bingeing Abbot Elementary, Blood & Water, Friends and Sex Education. Being on the road was by far my favorite part of 2021! I look forward to doing more of that this year, in addition to releasing more new music.

kicked off with “Sand In My Boots” – currently sitting at No. 2 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart – while sitting alone at a piano positioned at the end of a catwalk. “In a world of big entrances with artists dropping from the ceiling or popping out of the floor, I thought his simple opening was actually pretty beautiful,” says Ford. “He stopped and started a few times to take in the moment and savor headlining the iconic venue – dramatic and special in and of itself.” Wallen’s staging echoes his signature “MW” logo in large form. “The M is the main part of the stage and is a bit raised where the band plays,

and the W was made into the catwalk, which came out into the crowd with an additional center thrust,” explains Wagner. While there are no B stages or dramatic set or costume changes, Ford says the setup includes “great production, impressive lighting, lasers, jumbo screens near risers on either side of the stage and lots of pyrotechnics.” Both women assert crowd noise was the loudest they’ve heard at the venue, with Ford describing the attendees as “rowdy, fired up and ready to party.” Wagner concurs, adding, “I cannot pinpoint a single moment I could dub as the show’s biggest, because from beginning to end, everyone was on their feet singing along to every song.” The setlist is peppered with radio singles “Up Down,” “7 Summers,” “More Than My Hometown” and “The Way I Talk.” Wallen was also joined by Ernest for their current offering, “Flower Shops,” and Hardy for “He Went To Jared.” Fifteen of the 23 songs hailed from Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album; his encore featured “Heartless,” “Wasted On You” and “Whiskey Glasses.” “I saw a guy who really seemed to be taking in and appreciating what it meant to be on that iconic stage for the first show of his headlining tour,” states Ford. “It was not just his first show after COVID but also after a lot of controversy. He seemed grateful, prepared and like he wanted to celebrate that with thousands of thunderously rowdy friends.” Wagner echoes, “Morgan has such a way of connecting with fans ... he makes a room of 13,000-plus feel small, and when he took a moment to thank the sold-out crowd, you could feel how special the night was for him. Morgan is a future Entertainer of the Year.” The Dangerous Tour 2022 resumes Feb. 24 in Columbia, SC; complete list of dates here. Reach Ford here and Wagner here. –Monta Vaden

Luke Bryan Opens Vegas Residency

“This is an amazing situation to have a place in Las Vegas to call home,” Luke Bryan said not long into the two-hour opening performance of his residency at Resorts World Theatre Friday (2/11). Feeling comfortable in Vegas probably isn’t a stretch considering it’s where he earned his first major industry honor and his first Entertainer trophy, and handled his first awards hosting gig. The residency is, however, an elevation – literally and figuratively – of the good time attendees have come to expect at a Luke Bryan show. After pre-show music ranging from Post Malone to Doja Cat, Bryan launched his set from center stage with “That’s My Kind Of Night.” Segmented into approximately 20 lifts, the stage was in near-constant motion and allowed for a particularly compelling effect on “Waves.” Extensive use of smoke, pyro and lasers bolstered crystal sharp lighting and screens that extended onto the front of the stage lifts. The theater’s latest-greatest audio/visual tech was emblematic

of the seven-month-old Resorts World complex itself. Sparklingly new with three attached hotels, street food-themed food court, and upscale restaurants, it also has the Dawg House Saloon – where Priscilla Block performed later that evening – strategically wellpositioned just outside the theater. Fan interaction included an early trek through the crowd during which Bryan handed one fan a Two Lane (sponsor plug) beer. The audience roared when he set up one of his hits by saying, “I’d like to take some personal credit in getting rid of the mask mandate. The governor saw we’re all coming here and he’s just like, aw, fuck it. Now y’all can knock boots without a mask on.” All in, Bryan visited more than 20 of his hits, including his firstever medley. “In all my life I never would have believed I’d be so blessed by you guys to have to do a medley of some of my No. 1 songs,” he said. He offered lead guitar licks on “Huntin’, Fishin’ And Lovin’ Every Day,” soloed on piano with “Do I,” led a singalong to “Drink A Beer” and ended the show as he did his most recent tour with “Play It Again” followed by Luke Bryan encores of “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” and “I Don’t Want This Night To End.” The difference in the latter two was a catwalk that descended from the ceiling as Bryan ascended from the stage to place him above floor level and directly in front of fans in the balcony – and he seemed right at home there. –Chuck Aly

(continued from page 1) created a secure way to handle COVID protocols,” says Curtis. Find additional information about 3P America’s end-to-end digital compliance and the CRS COVID protocols here. CRB will also provide and prefer masks in all CRS event spaces at the Omni Nashville Hotel, including meeting rooms, performance halls and pre-function areas. Meeting room seating will be configured for social distancing, and hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout the event space. “We are also working to reconfigure the traffic patterns leading into the luncheon and performance spaces to prevent people from standing shoulder-to-shoulder prior to the events,” Curtis explains. “We are committed to producing a live, in-person event, but we hold everyone’s health and safety in high priority.” Voluntary COVID testing will be available for the duration of the event, including testing at the end of the week for those traveling home. According to the CRS COVID Protocol website here, the “CRB strongly encourages all members of our industry to exercise personal responsibility. CRB urges attendees to monitor their health daily, and anyone experiencing any symptoms of illness or not feeling well to please refrain from attending the event. If this is the case, CRB will extend the refund policy set forth at the time of registration.” More To Do Than Can Ever Be Done: “Our buffet lunches on Wednesday and Friday will now be served buffets, which adds an extra layer of protection when we’re talking about large sessions based around food and food service,” explains Curtis. The Thursday UMG Luncheon at the Ryman has traditionally been served via boxed lunch, and the Friday night New Faces dinner and show is served via plated meal. “CRS is an experience where people come together, and I couldn’t be more excited to have everyone gather in Nashville,” Curtis says. “I’m just asking everyone to do a little more adulting than in years past.” Aside from the health and safety, CRS 2022 attendees can expect an extended agenda, as well. “We are entering the second year of our Streaming Summit, but this is the first year for it to be in person,” notes Curtis. “In adding the Streaming Summit – which will appeal to all facets of the industry – we have extended Wednesday to a full day of agenda offerings.” The day kicks off at 8am CT with the Streaming Summit Networking Breakfast, which is another new in-person addition to the lineup.

The Research Project returns, followed this year by a new afternoon session entitled “Digesting The Data – A 2022 Reality Check.” There will also be a new time structure wherein some sessions will be shorter than others. Educational sessions focusing on imposter syndrome, the business of touring, creating expert-level video content and the value of networking have also been added. “Pace yourself, and remember no two people will have the same CRS experience,” advises Curtis.
