I guess it's an indictment of country radio, but there was literally no other options but Lindsay Ell. Lauren Alaina and Carly Pearce did it last year, and unfortunately none of Abby Anderson, Rachel Wammack, Tenille Townes, or Clare Dunn have seen much success and haven't even scratched the Top 50. I am shocked that Ashley McBryde didn't get in for that one since "A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega" did sneak into the Top 30. I will always say that one of the biggest reasons why women struggle with radio is the portion of women artists signed on a label. (Note I am discounting legacy artists who no longer get any radio play so no Reba, Ronnie Dunn, Alan Jackson, Shania Twain) On Big Machine there are 3 solo women (Danielle Bradbery, Carly Pearce, Lauren Jenkins) to 7 solo males (Brantley Gilbert, Thomas Rhett, Justin Moore, Brett Young, Trent Harmon, Tyler Rich, and Riley Green). Here's UMG Nashville. 6 females to I think 16 males www.umgnashville.com/our-artists/Sony has 10 solo male acts 5 solo female acts www.sonymusicnashville.comWarner Bros has 7 solo female artists to 17 solo male artists www.warnermusicnashville.com/artistFinally Broken Bow Records has 11 male acts to 2 females. www.bbrmusicgroup.comSo out of the five main labels there is approximately 61 males was 23 females. I feel like if the labels balanced that out more maybe more female singers could see success. |

I feel like if the labels balanced that out more maybe more female singers could see success. I see what you're saying here, but I think it's the other way around. I think labels sign more male artists and more groups because of the fact that they know it's much more difficult to launch female artists at radio. Labels know it's much easier to achieve breakout success with male artists and duos/groups rather than solo female artists, and thus there aren't nearly as many women as men signed to the different label groups. |

My predictions for the new faces show are Jimmie Allen, Russell Dickerson, Morgan Evans, Morgan Wallen and Jordan Davis. Wild Cards for me are Dylan Scott and Mitchell Tenpenny. It would be nice to see Lindsay or Lanco but I don’t know. All the male artist nominees are pretty strong.

One female on that list? When will Nashville get off their bias?

One female on that list? When will Nashville get off their bias? Where is the decision point for what gets played and why aren't corporate honchos spearheading something to fix the obvious bias? That is the million dollar question. When I look at playlists weekly on MB, and see patterns, it sickens me. Just for kicks today, I listen to The Highway for over 6 hours straight. Some songs were being played twice in a 2 hour block. I thought, well, truckers hear the same songs 5 times a day at least, but what is more funny to me is the poor DJ could potentially hear the same songs on their own shift. I have a feeling that once again, Nashville politics are in play in terms of this event and who gets on it. |

Country Aircheck sent the following out about CRS New Faces: "Stoney Creek's Jimmie Allen, Triple Tigers' Russell Dickerson, Stoney Creek's Lindsay Ell, Arista's Lanco and Curb's Dylan Scott are the CRS 2019 New Faces of Country Music Show performers."

Wow, this has to be one of the weaker years of "New Faces" that I can remember. I feel like there just isn't much buzz around any of these artists, especially compared to last year when we had Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina, Midland, and Carly Pearce. I think Russell could maybe be considered at that level and I think Lindsay has a good bit of industry support, but I'm not sure any of these 5 would have made the cut last year if they had been nominated then. Maybe swap out Russell for Michael Ray but that's about it.
Also I'm kind of stunned that only one major label was represented here with one nominee. The other 4 are more independent labels, and the biggest indie (BMLG) isn't even one of them. Props to Stoney Creek/BBR for that major victory for Lindsay/Jimmie, what I believe is Triple Tiger's first nominee, and then Curb's first in almost a decade most likely (if Lee Brice even received a nomination here). Warner, UMG, and BMLG need to step it up with breaking some new artists!
A little surprised neither of the Morgans nor Jordan Davis squeaked in here over someone like Dylan Scott, but truly there aren't any artists (other than Russell) that I feel like were shoe-ins for this year's show

Honestly besides Russell Dickerson, none of the other 4 feel like they'll have much longevity. Thank you zaclord 🌈 for mentioning last year as last year was stacked with Lauren Alaina, Carly Pearce, Luke Combs, Michael Ray, and Midland. Something about Jimmie Allen screams 1 hit wonder to me, Lindsay Ell "breakthrough" single in "Criminal" did ok at best and the followup flopped harder than I have seen a female song flop after their big breakthrough, Dylan Scott is on Curb which is never great for long term success. With LANco, I am so unsure about their future. |

Personally, I would have went with Jimmie Allen, Jordan Davis, Lindsay Ell , Morgan Wallen and Aaron Watson. Those aren't the biggest names of the group, but those are the ones I am most intrigued by personally.
I can see the rationale behind the ones that did get chosen, though. I think Dickerson is the biggest of the group so far with two hits. Jimmie Allen gets the benefit of recency bias with his debut single being huge during the voting period (plus, some diversity doesn't hurt). Lindsay Ell had to get in because she was the only female on the ballot and CRS wasn't going to go down that road again (plus the industry seems to like her and she's a really good musician). Lanco was the only group nominated, plus "Greatest Love Story" was pretty big. Dylan Scott has seemingly been around for a long time with those slow chart-burns.
The group doesn't shine a light on last year's group, but it's hard to break 10 artists in a course of two years. Personally, I think the chosen group for 2019 all have potential to break out and that potential is all one can ask for in this kind of thing.

I'm glad Lindsay Ell was able to get in there. I know a lot of it is because she was the token female this year by being the only one even nominated (which is a shame), but I think she's got the potential to blow up in the near future. "Criminal" unfortunately didn't move the needle enough to warrant radio boosting it beyond scraping the bottom of the Top 20 and the follow-up single did nothing at radio, but she's about to have a guaranteed hit by collaborating on Brantley Gilbert's upcoming single and she clearly has a fair bit of industry support nonetheless, so I can see her next single getting a nice response out of the gate provided they go with something that screams smash. Also, I know he isn't popular on the forum, but I'm a fan of Dylan Scott and think he has one of the standout voices among the new crop of male artists coming up through the ranks, so I enjoy seeing him represented here and I'm glad Curb has defied the odds and been able to get him a couple hits despite being such a shitty label. I'm really looking forward to another record from him because I loved his debut, and he blew me away with his live vocals when I saw him for free in the fall of 2017. The only option out of the selections this year that's a pass from me is Lanco, because they've done absolutely nothing for me thus far after 3 singles. They're completely faceless and un-memorable for me as a band. After one of their songs ends on radio, I find myself struggling to remember how it goes.  |

Hope this indicates that Kassi Ashton finally gets a radio push. Also happy to see Caylee Hammack on the roster for this. |
