Following Lotus Broadcasting’s flip of KUUB to sports, several staff members have exited. Those departing include MD/afternoons Big Chris Hart (775-830-1320 or bigchrishart@hotmail.com), morning co-host Woody (775-842-4314 or woodyyourmicsopen@gmail.com) and morning co-host Malayna (775-219-3032 or malaynajoy@gmail.com). KUUB will also be removed from MusicRow’s CountryBreakout reporting panel beginning with the upcoming week.
SPIN ZONE
There’s a new No. 1 on the CountryBreakout Chart and it belongs to Kenny Chesney’s impeccably timed “The Boys of Fall.” Chesney’s latest gets a gain of 59 spins, enough to keep it just ahead of Darius Rucker’s “Come Back Song” which moves up to No. 2. Closing out the top 5 with improved positioning are Toby Keith’s “Trailerhood” at No. 3, Easton Corbin’s “Roll With It” at No. 4, and Taylor Swift’s “Mine” at No. 5.
Several older singles are moving out, and having a little extra room to breathe should make everyone happy. Like Jason Aldean’s “My Kinda Party” (No. 21) and Carrie Underwood’s “Mama’s Song” (No. 22), both of which enjoy some big movement this week. Also making quick strides are Dierks Bentley’s “Draw Me A Map” at No. 25, David Adam Byrnes’ “Sweet Distraction” at No. 30, and James Otto’s “Soldiers & Jesus” at No. 34.
Keith Urban’s latest, “Put You In A Song,” makes a big splashy debut at No. 44, collecting 677 new spins in the process. Also debuting are Randy Houser’s “A Man Like Me” (No. 71), Jesse Lee’s “Like My Mother Does” (No. 72), Tommy Steele’s “Forever 17” (No. 75), Craig Campbell’s “Family Man” (No. 76), Chris Heers’ “Happy Thought” (No. 77), Brett Eldredge’s “Raymond” (No. 79), and Adam Brand’s “Ready For Love” (No. 80).
