Radio Names OD’s “Happy Endings” “Forty radio programmers, a handful of Sony staffers and Old Dominion convene on the back of a boat …” is not the begin-ning of a bad joke. It is, however, how the band came to call their second album for RCA (out this Friday, Aug. 25) Happy Endings. It all began with OD’s Matt Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Brad Tursi, Geoff Sprung and Whit Sellers chatting about their forth-coming new music with me on the aft of a Catamaran in the waters off Key West. It was established early on that they had yet to come up with a name for the album. Halfway through the

Scored Rangers: Big Label’s Aaron Watson pulls in a Texas-sized crowd for a performance at Globe Life Park in Arlington, TX Saturday (8/19). Pictured (l-r) are KSCS’ Trapper John Morris, Cumulus/Dallas’ Rebecca Kaplan, Country Aircheck’s Paul Williams, KSCS & KPLX’s Mac Daniels, Watson, KSCS’ Mark “Hawkeye” Louis, the label’s Gwen Foster and CDA Entertainment’s Gino Genaro.
YTD Charts: Down The Stretch As we make the turn for home in this year’s chart races, here’s how Country radio airplay stacks up as measured by the top songs, top artists and top labels at the three-quarter pole of the chart year. Tim McGraw leads the Top 10 artists, garnering the most airplay points for the first three-quarters of the 2017 chart year. He leads Blake Shelton by a nose. Trailing Blake, the rest of the field
has Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Brett Young, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Jon Pardi and Dustin Lynch. While the Top 10 is led by an artist who had his first hit some 23 years ago, four of those 10 – Lynch, Pardi, Rhett, and Young – have been on the national scene five or fewer years. The second-place non-solo male act is Old Dominion, at No. 12. Women aren’t faring too well thus far, with Lauren Alaina coming in at 20 and Kelsea Ballerini at 22. The Hits: Jon Pardi’s “Dirt On My Boots” has posted more airplay points than any other song at this point in the chart year and has a narrow lead on Blake Shelton’s “A Guy With A Girl.” Rounding out the Top 10 are Sam Hunt’s “Body Like A Back Road,” Florida Georgia Line and Tim McGraw’s “May We All,” Michael Ray’s “Think A Little Less,” Brett Eldredge’s “Wanna Be That Song,” Little Big
Town’s “Better Man,” Luke Combs’ “Hurricane,” Lauren Alaina’s “Road Less Traveled,” and Dustin Lynch’s “Seein’ Red.” Here again, the preponderance of the Top 10 come from artists who have been on the national scene a relatively few number of years. Chart Share: As for the label chart share race, the leader by more than six lengths is the eight-time Country Aircheck Label of the Year Capitol, boasting a whopping 16.9 share. The top 10 are:
1. Capitol 16.92. WMN 10.23. BMLGR 7.54. Valory 6.8 Key Men: Old Dominion with Helton (c).
Tim McGraw
Jon Pardi

six-song set, we came to one called, “So You Go.” I set it up by asking everyone to pay attention to how it ends. At its close, the protagonist decides whether to go to his girl or not, but the pivotal line “so you go” is not sung as the song closes. I said to the band, “He goes, right?” Matt shoots me a quizzical look and says, “May-be he doesn’t.” Matt and Brad joke back and forth about whether or not he stays home or goes to her, when Matt asks me why I think the guy goes to her. “I like happy endings,” I said. Through the rest of the afternoon “Happy Endings” became a running joke as we talked about other songs on the album. The guys would even crack, “Here’s another song from our new album ‘Happy Endings’ to cheers and lots of laughs. “At one point I think we even took a vote,” said Matt when the band was in to co-host Country Countdown USA with me. “And it was unanimous for Happy Endings. Country radio named the album, so don’t blame us.” There were, of course, a few other steps that had to be taken prior to that becoming the official title – one of which was the guys in the band all agreeing. “We got off the boat and we kind of went, ‘I think we just named the album,’” recalled Matt. “Every-body was like, ‘Yeah, I’m good if you are.’” One of the reasons the guys were so quick to settle on the title, left field as it might be, was that the pressure was on from the la-bel for a title and a cover. “We had been talking about an album title for more than a month,” said Matt. “We were all just so tired of talking about what the album was going to be called.” Under the gun, Happy Endings was looking better and better. “ [Sony Chairman Randy Goodman] was on the boat and I remem-ber laughing about it in that moment,” said Trevor. “We were like, ‘Hey, Randy -- Happy Endings?’” Picking up the story, Matt said, “The next morning, Geoff and I went for coffee and Randy was there. He looks at us and goes, ‘So, Happy Endings?’ We said it seemed that way if he was cool
with it. He said, ‘I don’t care what you call it as long as it has hit songs on it.’ We never talked about it again. That was just it.” In early May, Old Dominion had the title to an album set for a late August release. Jump ahead to late July, I got the press release announcing the new OD album and almost fell out of my chair laughing. I actually sent an email to Randy and Sony Music Nash-ville’s Steve Hodges, asking if the presser was a one-off sent to me as a joke. Assured it was real, I couldn’t believe they actually did it. During our CCUSA visit, I said to the band there was no way that anyone who wasn’t on that boat could possibly understand how “Happy Endings” makes any sense as the album’s title. “It’s impossible to connect any of the songs on this album to the title,” I said on air.

Ramsey didn’t quite agree. “When you really listen to the album, Happy Endings really does apply to most of the songs. Although, some of them like ‘So You Go’ and ‘Written In Sand,’ there might be a be a question mark if they’re going to end well.” “Maybe we should have put a question mark at the end of the title and called it ‘Happy Endings?’” laughingly added Tursi. “I think we’ll add the question mark whenever we sign the album cover.” Question mark in the title notwithstanding, the question did remain whether the organic christening of the album was divine inspiration or devious manipulation. After all, has there in history ever been a better job of sucking up to Country radio than to offer them an album they helped name? “That’s definitely something we talked about,” laughed Matt, as the other four guys nodded their heads in agreement. –Lon Helton
Running Out Of Moonlight While airplay increased today for songs like “Praying For Daylight,” “When The Sun Goes Down,” “We Owned The Night,” “Ain’t Goin Down ‘Til The Sun Comes Up” and “Fishin’ In The Dark,” Country radio also hit the streets – and in at least one case, the water – for full Eclipse 2017 coverage. Some highlights: •TownsquareRegionalOMDonovan Short reports KWYY/Casper, WY staffers were roving city wide reporting on traffic and events. “We had folks pouring in from Colorado, doubling our population today,” he says, noting hotels were sold out and the major networks and NASA were in town. “The Casper airport usually gets five or six flights landing a day. Planes were arriving every two minutes.” •ShawneeBluffWineryinLakeoftheOzarkshostedtheKTKS/Versailles, MO live broadcast. PD/morning host JT Ger-
lt says, “We gave away 150 pairs of viewing glasses and enjoyed the day with an amaz-ing view of the lake and the eclipse.” Traf-fic flowed easily and there were none of the predicted cell reception problems. •NeartheNebras-ka eclipse epicenter, iHeartMedia KXKT/Omaha’s Hoss Mi-chaels says, “Traffic
MV2 Entertainment's Terry McBride discusses his most influential music:1. Willie Nelson: I was fortunate to grow up in a small town about 60 miles from Austin. In the '70s, Willie Nelson had moved to Austin and the whole progressive, country outlaw movement was taking shape. His albums Phases and Stages and Shotgun Willie were so different than anything out at the time. 2. Willie Nelson's Third Annual Fourth
Of July Picnic: It was 1975. It was an eye-opening moment – the huge crowd, the music, and the drugs. It was shocking and wonderful all at the same time. It was a big ol' dose of everything I had never been exposed to before. 3. George Strait's "Unwound": His voice stopped me in my tracks and made a profound impact on me. Having a couple of my songs recorded by George is still one of the highlights of my career.4. Delbert McClinton: Growing up in Texas, he was legendary. In 1986, I auditioned and got to be his bass player for the next two years. Being able to tour with a veteran who's known for rocking the house every single night is so valuable. He's never let a crowd down.5. Stevie Ray Vaughan: A guy named Bill Carter had a band called The Blame and I auditioned for him. We toured with Stevie. I had all of his records. Getting to know him, hang with him and play with him was something I'll never forget.• Highly regarded music you've actually never heard: Aside from "Gold Digger," I don't know that I could name one other song of Kanye West's.• "Important" music you just don't get: EDM. But two years ago this kid in Europe named Lost Frequencies recorded a song of mine by Easton Corbin called "Are You With Me." He took the first verse and turned it into an EDM track. It ended up being No. 1 in 18 countries. After the success he's had, I'm certainly a fan of his!• An album you listened to incessantly: Tom Petty's Greatest Hits. It's the best of everything. • Obscure or non-country music everyone should listen to right now: Delbert McClinton's new album, Prick Of The Litter. At 76 years old, he's a true inspiration.• Music you'd rather not admit to enjoying: On Sundays my 15-year-old daughter and I ride around and listen to her music. So what I've been listening to lately is Harry Styles. I took her to a One Direction concert when she was 13. The things you'll do for your kids!

heading west coming out of Omaha was crazy this morning,” as visitors flocked to Homestead National Monument in Beatrice, NE. “Tons of RVs and campers lined up, and some gas stations ran out of fuel.” Schools were letting students bring sack lunches so they could watch from football fields and playgrounds. •FGL’s“Sundaze,”JohnnyCash’s“RingofFire”andBrooks&Dunn’s “Neon Moon” were just some of the titles Zimmer KCLR/Columbia, MO PD Jamie Mac spiked in. “Our city of 120,000 went to over 400,000 today,” he reports. •Baseballwasthebookendintwocities.iHeartMediaWSSL/Greenville’s official watching party was at minor league baseball’s Greenville Drive game. “They paused the game and let the fans go on the field to watch the eclipse,” reports SVPP Kix Layton. “The game was sold out. Over 8,000 fans, standing room only. And we followed it up with a free Walker McGuire acoustic performance.” Alpha KZKX/Lincoln, NE OM Rob Kelley put down his “glow in the dark coozie” to check in from the Lincoln Saltdogs game, “They suspended the game in the third inning for about 20 minutes so the crowd could watch.” •WCOS/Columbia, SC’s LJ Smith took to the water. “Our boat is anchored to Bomb Island in Lake Murray,” he says. “We’ve got the BBC and media from Germany and Russia here reporting live.” •Nashville’sstationswerescattered in various locations. WSIX afternoon team Tige and Daniel hosted the “No Show” party on the rooftop of the George Jones Museum. WKDF and WSM-FM had hosts at Charlie Daniels Park in Mt. Juliet, the Grand Ole Opry and Centennial Park, where food trucks and booths were set up for viewers. –Paul Williams
Chart Chat Congrats to Justin Moore, George Briner, Ashley Sidoti and the Valory staff on securing this week’s No. 1 with “Somebody Else Will.” The song is the second chart-topper from Kinda Don’t Care following “You Look Like I Need A Drink.” Writers are Kelly Ar-cher, Adam Hambrick and Tebey Ottoh. Kudos also to Matthew Hargis and the BMLG Records team for notching 32 adds on Florida Georgia Line’s “Smooth,” topping this week’s board.
Justin Moore
Finally, last week’s signing of Scotty McCreery by Triple Tigers highlights an unprecedented feat. McCreery’s “Five More Minutes” is the only song ever to have charted on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase Top 50 without a label.
