Next Country Singles book from Record Research

[CoJoFan]

So I ordered this almost 2 weeks ago and still have not received an email or any info as to when I’ll be getting it. Did it take a while for the people that ordered this to get theirs? I’m wondering if maybe it’s due to the virus?

I pre-ordered it so it came I think right around the actual release date.

Ok I emailed them about it to see if it has been shipped yet or not. I just want it to go with the top 10 country hits book I have from them as well.

I remember both Casey Kasem and Bob Kingsley did not liked how Billboard was handling the charts. They both tried both Mediabase and then R&R. It is the R&R that had Sammy Kershaw with more than number 1 hits then Billboards. My high school friend's group Point of Grace got 3 top 60 R&R singles while they hardly scratched Billboards.

If I’m not mistaken Mediabase and R&R are the same charts.

Nope. Nielson owned both of them since they both used different methods and different reporting stations. They merged the two. 
Medibase uses another set of reporting stations. MusicRow have their own that they use more of the Independent stations that are not owned by Clear Channel and others. CDX Traction keep track of singles that are playing on the mainstream, and there are a lot of Independent artists on there with Cody Jinks at #41 with Ain't A Train.

I think you're right. Now, I will say these charts were quite a bit different from #30 on down, but the top half of the charts were (and honestly still are) relatively close. Some artists probably squeaked a couple more or less #1 songs, but I loved looking at the bottom of the indicator chart to see what was charting and getting airplay in rural America.

It is more like 20 on down.
Hillbilly Rollin' Stone by The Desert City Ramblers hit number 22 on Country Airplay Indicator while it did not hit the top 60 mainstream. They did hit Mediabase charts. Stephanie Quayle, Aaron Watson (Country Radio), CJ Solar and Tiffany Woys hit the top 30 there. They moved older songs to recurrent much faster than the Mainstream.
