I feel bad for her trying to make it in the country lane knowing how support for women is not good. Who are the 2 women that do get airplay in country? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 That's understandable reasoning by Morgan. Didnt see that side of the coin before but I get it now. I'm curious about what direction she'll take, not only on the show, but post-show as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On more contemporary country stations, I’m going to guess that Carrie Underwood's probably one of them, and I’m assuming the other is a rotating cast of the C-list names that have recording contracts. (of course, this is based just off the two country stations in my area, but the lack of female representation on country radio has been a problem for decades) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll have one or two hits, and fall off the face of the Earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I don't really pay attention to country radio since the music I listen to, including country, is provided by another platform, but I assume guys like Luke Combs, Bryan, Aldean, Thomas Rhett, and Blake himself get a lot of radio play. I know country radio has given the finger to a lot of women throughout, how much radio play do Carrie, Miranda and Maren get? I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorWax Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Now I just want to know why Jay chose Gwen. Maybe its because he thought he would stand out on her team? Gwen and Blake going head to head for a country artist with Gwen winning out is unprecedented. Unless someone can remind me.

Miranda hasn’t gotten much radio play for a long time, which is why I don’t think she’s one of the “two” she was referring to. It’s probably more like two at any given time. They’ll have a hit or two, and then you don’t hear much from them anymore. The ratio of male to female airplay is something like 20/1.

Apparently his fiancée is a big Gwen fan, so I’d imagine that’d have some impact on top of whatever went down off screen that we didn’t see.

He mentioned Daughtry as an influence, so he probably wants to dip his toes on alt rock as well. Either way, he did end up choosing him over her in battles, since she tried to save him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake's 2020 song "Happy Anywhere" with Gwen went #1 on Country Airplay charts, and his 2019 song "God's Country" went #1 on US Country charts and airplay country charts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that Team Camila's song choices are a little bit "Shakira'ed, like overdone and kinda predictable. I hope she's saving the best for the live shows. that's scaring me , hoping the arrangements for the battles are something new then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that’s technically true, since it’s been since 2020 which IS more than one year ago. But your post implies that Blake is washed up in country radio and he’s definitely not. He’s obviously not a “young gun” anymore, but he’s far from irrelevant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seak05 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Radio isn’t the end all and he all in country radio anymore. Several of the hottest male acts in country aren’t on radio at all. I get that if you have been trying to make it in one genre for a while maybe you don’t want to keep beating your head against the wall. However, even the “cross-genre” artists have a home genre they tended to make it in first. I don’t think declaring yourself cross genre will help your career Also as sexist as country radio is, it’s not as bad as it was. There are currently two women in the top 10 and several more in the top 30 Edited September 21 by seak05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
