iHEARTMEDIA syndicated morning Country radio host BOBBY BONES will receive an honorary doctorate degree from the UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS during its commencement ceremony on MAY 14th.
Kudos to BMG/STONEY CREEK RECORDS’ JELLY ROLL and the label team for scoring the most added song at Country radio this week with “Son Of A Sinner.” The song has 46 new adds, for a total of 74 stations on it to date. It leaps from 52 to 40 on the Mediabase Country singles chart, and has garnered 25 million on-demand streams to date.
PANDORA has launched a new Rock-infused Country channel, “COUNTRY GRIT.” Core artists on the new station include CODY JINKS, WARREN EIDERS, WHISKEY MYERS, CHRIS STAPLETON, MIRANDA LAMBERT and AARON LEWIS. Other names heard on the playlist since its launch include BAILEY ZIMMERMAN, TYLER BRADEN, PARKER McCOLLUM and MORGAN WADE.
With artists on the fast track to King status like Cody Johnson to the friends he’s shining his spotlight on along the way like Ian Munsick, it’s a great time to be a honky-tonkin country music fan. These two troubadours recently got together to pull off a track worthy of the best two-step on sawdust-covered dance floors in the south titled “Love Live Cowgirls” and we can’t wait for you to listen too!
