COUNTRY HOTDISC INDEPENDENT CHART

How The Chart Is Compiled, And Why It Is Done This Way.

This is a list of the Top 40 Most Popular Songs released on the Rush Released promotional CD.

The Hotdisc charts are compiled from DJs and industry professionals' ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work in Europe as there are no terrestrial country stations in this area. The hundreds of country shows are likely to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it cannot work here.

The Hotdisc charts are therefore put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months' editions of Rush Released. The scores are totalled up and averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the DJs and media people are pinpointing as top quality songs, which is a very useful exercise, particularly to all our clients and DJs as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and done on merit!

If you would like your music considered for inclusion on the Hotdisc, contact; Stuart Cameron at sturadio@aol.com or country@hotdisc.net

THE HOTDISC TOP 40

9th JUNE 2013

Edited by Stuart Cameron who writes for Up Country Magazine  

DAVID SHELBY DEBUTS AT THE TOP OF THE CHARTS

It's always exciting when the new Hotdisc CD produces a bunch of new entries on their first week of impact, and newcomer to Hotdisc, David Shelby, has gone straight to number 1 with his debut European single, "Kick A Little Dirt Around," which benefits from a superb video which is currently available to watch on our charts page. David's song has swept aside last week's number 1 record by the Lawrence John Project, which drops to 3 while Nicki Gillis is unlucky as she finally gets past the LJP only to be parked behind David Shelby to retain her number 2 position.

There are three big entries inside the Top 10 with another newcomer, Hoyt Hughes, coming in at 5 with his first single in this territory, "Happy Ending," while Andy Griggs debuts at 10 with "I Don't Let Go."

The Hayley Oliver Band lead the British contingent with a new entry at 11 with "Could I Be More Blue" with the help of Albert Lee on guitar. That song has gone in at number 2 on the British and Irish Top 10 which means she hasn't managed to knock herself off the top spot but she does get a 1-2 on the homegrown chart which is pretty rare. Her other song, "Right Person At The Right Time" has now spent 8 weeks at number 1 and would probably be challenging Rob Allen for the longest run at the top of the charts if it wasn't for her new single coming in and probably taking over at the summit sooner rather than later, but we shall see.

Chip Taylor, Randy Thompson, Stephanie Jansen, Joanna Mosca and Tony Clarke all land their new singles inside the Top 20 this week.

Sundays at 12 Noon - CMR Nashville Radio - Hotdisc Top 40 Show
Mondays at 8pm - UKCountryRadio.com - Hotdisc British & Irish Top 10 Show.
