Dec, 31 2009
The most popular song on American radio in the 00s was released in the 90s, while the UK's favorite song of the decade wasn't even released until its seventh year, 2006. According to Nielsen BDSradio, which monitors radio play across the United States, the song played more than any other was Tim McGraw's "Something Like That," which topped the Hot Country Singles chart on release in 1999. Between January 1st 2000 and December 17th 2009, it was played on the radio a staggering 487,343 times. Usher's 2004 hit "Yeah" was second with 416,267 plays, and Train's "Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me)" (2001) was played 338,749 times. Meanwhile, the biggest radio success of the decade in the UK wasn't even written or recorded until half way through the eligibility period. Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" reached No.6 on the UK singles chart -- it peaked a place higher on the Hot 100 -- in August 2006. Yet in just over three years it racked up more airplay than any other song, according to British music licensing company PPL. Singer Gary Lightbody said "I think that the song has worked because it has an emotion that people can relate to."
Tim McGraw
Oct, 17 2008
There’s a new Tim McGraw album in the can, ready to be unleashed on the public, but the lid is being kept tightly shut. Before fans are allowed to tuck into the fresh delights of unheard tracks, they must first chow down on more regurgitated leftovers -- Tim McGraw Greatest Hits Vol. 3 -- his second greatest hits package since 2006. McGraw really isn’t happy with his record label, Curb, and said in a statement that he was "… saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music." How many Greatest Hits compilations do fans need of one artist? A new one earns prime shelf-space and a renewed spell of promotion, but when the artist himself wants that attention focused on his new material, it suggests that Curb want to drag out McGraw's deal as long as possible. Either that, or they don't like what's in the can.
