The next time he eads someone to those markers, Hi s name wi be preserved beside the tite of one of his best-known copyrights, George Strait s Fo o Hearted Memory. As tourists wak across his sidewak paque, they see Hi s name aongside such previous inductees as Garth Brooks ( The Thunder Ros ), Jimmy Webb ( Wichita Lineman ), Ray Stevens ( Everything Is Beautifu ) and Aabama s Randy Owen ( Fees So Right ). I fee ike I m in wonderfu company, said Hi on Oct. 28 before the Nashvie Songwriters Ha of Fame Foundation aunched the 2018 induction ceremony at the Music City Center. It s sti hard to beieve that I m going to be on the page with those peope. Hi is hardy aone in the 2018 cass. Artist-writers Ronnie Dunn and K.T. Osin cimbed eight bue-it steps at the ceremony to accept their entries into the ha, as did futime songwriters Joe Meson ( Bue B a y o u, O n y the Loney ) and Wayne Kirkpatrick ( Boondocks, C h a n g e t h e Word ) in a moving forma evening. The event featured their songs in barebones structures, simuating the stripped-down state in which most songs are traditionay birthed. Brandy Cark gave a convincing, cear-toned read of Osin s 80 s Ladies, Jon Pardi added a biting ferocity to Dunn s honky-tonk baad Neon Moon, and smokyvoiced Gabe Dixon injected a buesy sou into his piano-voca The Nashvie Songwriters Ha of Fame inducted five new members Oct. 28.

2 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE OCTOBER 29, 2018 PAGE 2 OF 18 performance of Kirkpatrick s Change the Word. He changed the word, Litte Big Town s Phiip Sweet said of Kirkpatrick, and he changed our ives. Indeed, Kirkpatrick was both an LBT co-writer and its first producer, which was essentia in changing the group s trajectory. But artists work has changed the ives of many Nashvie writers, too. In recognition of that point, the foundation estabished a Career Maker Award this year, honoring Reba McEntire with the inaugura trophy. Songwriter Layng Martine Jr., a co-writer of her hit The Greatest Man I Never Knew, noted that McEntire has recorded music by 45 Nashvie Songwriters Ha of Fame members. The organization emphasized the reach of her impact by gathering onstage roughy two dozen of the ha members in attendance, incuding Bi Anderson, Tim Nichos ( Live Like You Were Dying ) and Wayand Hoyfied ( Coud I Have This Dance ). McEntire methodicay shook hands with each of those writers, a symboic appreciation for their wiingness to trust her with their materia, ceary a key step in her ascent in the business. Without y a, I woud not be here tonight, said McEntire onstage. McEntire, with her Southern draw and distinctive bends, brings her own stye to her performances. Meson, on the other hand, tried to bake stye into a of the songs he wrote. Fastidiousy studying meodic structures, he recognized that artists in the pioneering days of rock n ro were mosty singing songs within a smaer range. He beieved songs that expored a fu voca range coud stand out, and he found the perfect match by co-writing with Roy Orbison. They crafted songs that took ascendant steps, rising in both pitch and intensity, as exempified during the induction by Jesse LaBee s powerfu, soaring rendition of Crying. I ca em mood eevators, said Meson in the press room prior to the event. When we do a song ike Crying or Ony the Loney, it keeps picking you up. I created it so the meodies are aways moving up, and they re picking you up, even though you re down. Osin simiary used sef-penned songs to create her own stye. She invariaby showed off impeccabe fashion sense in her pubic appearances whie digging deep into women s emotiona perspective, winning the Country Music Association s (CMA) song of the year award 30 years ago this month for 80 s Ladies. I was not the itte, shy, recusive one, she refected. I was rather snarky and a itte wid, and they iked that, I think. Dunn, who sang ead on the buk of Brooks & Dunn s singes, simiary won the CMA song trophy by co-writing Beieve, but he wrote some of the duo s materia by himsef in Okahoma prior to moving to Nashvie. That incuded Hard Workin Man, Boot Scootin Boogie and Neon Moon, the song that wi be represented on Dunn s brick in the Ha of Fame steps. Whie inducting Dunn, Kix Brooks was particuary amused that some rabid fans used that song at weddings. This is a drunk in a corner of a bar, Brooks aughingy noted of the character in Neon Moon. That incongruity is perhaps appropriate, given Dunn s view of his own induction. I fee ike I robbed a bank and got away with it, he said. I sipped under the gate and nobody caught me. But I been doing that for 20-something years. Symboicay, the steps outside the Music City Center descend toward the Country Music Ha of Fame across the street. Many of the artists now enshrined in the Country Ha incuding George Jones, Johnny Cash, Gen Campbe and Ricky Skaggs picked up at east some of their most iconic songs from peope whose names are embedded in those songwriter stones. The songs the writers penned have thus been important steps for both the artists careers and their own. I didn t know that day when I was writing Foo Hearted Memory that I was writing George Strait s first No. 1, refected Hi. He s gone on to have a ot of No. 1s, so it may mean more to me than it does to him. But the songs bring meaning to others, too. Kirkpatrick wandered across the stones in the Ha of Fame wakway recenty and stepped past the marker for John Bettis ( Top of the Word, Sow Hand ), whom he heped induct in A sef-described introvert, Kirkpatrick fought back tears during his induction speech, putting the focus as much on his famiy and his predecessors as on himsef. What you do matters, he tod the writers in the room. I m honored to be in this town and to be in your company, or just be in your orbit. We are songwriters, but more than that, we are Nashvie songwriters. And isn t it awesome to be abe to say that?

4 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE OCTOBER 29, 2018 PAGE 4 OF 18 ON THE CHARTS JIM ASKER jim.asker@biboard.com Mitche Tenpenny Continues A Banner Year For Fresh Faces In The Country Airpay Chart s Top 10 Is radio opening up more to new artists, incuding pop crossovers ike Rexha, Michaes and Key? I m not that surprised that we had so many new artists debut so strongy over the past coupe of years, KKBQ Houston PD Johnny Chiang tes Biboard. After focusing on one type of sound bro country for so ong, the industry reaized we needed more than ever to cutivate fresh bood and take our format to the next eve. And by industry, I mean both the Nashvie machine and country radio. As for pop artists appearing on so many topranked songs, I beieve that s just a coincidence, continues Chiang. Let s be honest: On country radio, Ki is reay an Eric Church song, Meant and God are both FGL tracks, Coming Home is Keith Urban, and Take Back Home Gir is Chris Lane. WSM-FM Nashvie vp programming Charie Cook and KRTY San Jose, Caif., GM Nate Deaton both concur. In terms of pop artists breaking through, it s very gray, especiay with Michaes and Rexha, since they re both appearing with country superstars, says Deaton. However, in every other format, coaborations are the rue as compared to the exception. I just think that for today s 20- and 30-year-ods, it s the sign of the times and what is current, so I see good coaborations as very positive. Cook observes that whie country radio programmers were open to new voices this year, women sti strugged to break through. The ony three femae voices new to the top 10 were pop acts as part of superstar mae songs. It s not ike Bebe, Tori or Juia wi reappear on the country charts as soo acts anytime soon. MOVING ON UP On the Hot Country Songs chart, which bends airpay, streaming and saes data, Chris Young banks his 13th top 10 as Hangin On (RCA Nashvie) hops It pushes 3-2 on Country Airpay, up 7 percent to 37.8 miion impressions. GETTY IMAGES Mitche Tenpenny earns his first top 10 on Biboard s Country Airpay chart as his debut singe, Drunk Me (Riser House/Coumbia Nashvie), ascends 11-9 on the ist dated Nov. 3, increasing by 11 percent to 24.8 miion audience impressions in the week ending Oct. 28, according to Niesen Music. Drunk is from Tenpenny s debut LP, Teing A My Secrets, due Dec. 14. Tenpenny becomes the eighth artist to hit the top 10 in a first visit to the Country Airpay chart in 2018, so we thought that this was the perfect time to see exacty how rookie friendy the survey has been so far this year, compared with the same span (measuring each January through the first week of November) ast year, five years and 10 years ago easiy tops the other years, compared with five in 2017, two in 2013 and three in Before Tenpenny, the acts who reached the region in 2018 with their first entries (in chronoogica order) were Devin Dawson ( A On Me, No. 2 peak), Jordan Davis ( Singes You Up, No. 1), Bebe Rexha (with Forida Georgia Line on the No. 1 Meant to Be), Juia Michaes (as featured TENPENNY on Keith Urban s Coming Home, No. 3), Tori Key (as featured on Chris Lane s Take Back Home Gir, No. 8), Morgan Evans ( Kiss Somebody, No. 3) and Jimmie Aen ( Best Shot, currenty up to No. 3). The five acts to hit the top 10 in 2017 with their first visits were Rhiannon Giddens (as featured on Eric Church s Ki a Word, No. 6), Luke Combs ( Hurricane, No. 1), Backstreet Boys (as featured on FGL s God, Your Mama, and Me, No. 1), Midand ( Drinkin Probem, No. 3) and Cary Pearce ( Every Litte Thing, No. 1). (Notaby, Russe Dickerson s first Country Airpay top 10, Yours, reached the region on Dec. 23, 2017, just after the samped time period ending Nov. 4; it hit No. 1 on Jan. 27.) 2013 s freshman cass for the stat consisted of Kacey Musgraves and Pisto Annies, whie 2008 wecomed Miey Cyrus, Chuck Wicks and Zac Brown Band.

Good Company Entertainment, the management firm behind Jake Owen, is partnering with New York-based abe RECORDS to do radio promotion for Matt Ste s Prayed for You, Biboard Country Update has earned. Good Company founded by Owen with president Keith Gae and director of tour marketing and sponsorships Jon Andoina insists its focus remains on its two management cients, Owen and Angie Keihauer. The promotion department, which wi aunch with a staff of three on Nov. 1 and wi ikey expand after the hoidays, is intended as a short-term opportunity with an eye on ong-term hope for benefits, says Gae. Gae, who promoted more than three dozen No. 1 singes during a 22-year tenure with Sony Music Nashvie, is now a ink in Ste s story.

Every once in a whie, you get a record that you think can touch the hearts and minds of foks a over the country, says Weiss. I think this copyright speaks to that. Ste has a muti-abum dea with RECORDS, with an EP expected in Gae has no pans to keep the promotion staff open under the Good Company umbrea onger than this one singe requires, though it coud become a permanent division if it works without harming the careers of Owen and Keihauer.

13 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE OCTOBER 29, 2018 PAGE 13 OF 18 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Morgan Evans Finds Out Who Cares On Sophomore Singe Day Drunk Austraian artist Morgan Evans made a great first impression on American soi, journeying to No. 3 on Biboard s Country Airpay chart with his 2017 U.S. debut, Kiss Somebody. How does one foow up an obviousy successfu aunch? Who cares. That response shoud not be interpreted as apathy. It is, in fact, a perfecty egitimate answer with rea-word consequences. Who cares? is a gang-voca part of the chorus in Day Drunk, a carefree track that engenders penty of audience engagement when Evans works the concert stage. When he gave an invitation-ony performance at InDo Nashvie on Oct. 11 the day prior to the reease of his first U.S. abum, Things That We Drink To the industry crowd shouted out that who cares ine every time it came round, mimicking an experience that has become routine at his reguar pubic shows. It s ike the fee-good [moment] to sing aong to, he says. And Evans can take credit for it. During a writing appointment with songwriter-producer Chris DeStefano ( Something in the Water, Kick the Dust Up ) and Los Angees-based pop writer Lindy Robbins (Jason Deruo s Want to Want Me, Hot Chee Rae s Tonight, Tonight ), they turned the pot s party-for-two into a near-karaoke ceebration: Pay a bunch of od songs/sing aong, get the words EVANS wrong. That yrica progression practicay begged for one short payoff, which Evans offered up amost apoogeticay. It s ike these three ines that spira into each other, and then at the end of the ine, I just said, Who cares? recas Evans. We a ooked at each other, and we were ike, Can we say that? Woud that work? And then we did it again, and we a yeed it. If you can put a fun part in the midde of a chorus ike that, then I fee ike that s aways a win. Day Drunk is, in some ways, about turning a osing situation into a winner. When Evans was first dating his wife, Kesea Baerini, in 2016, he put some thought into how to make her 23rd birthday a specia one. But when Sept. 12 roed around, Baerini wasn t in much of a mood for painting the town. She had got home from the road that morning, and I had this whoe day of activities panned, says Evans. She was just dead tired, and she waked in the door and was ike, Do you mind if we cose the binds and open that botte of champagne and just do nothing for a second? The spontaneous nature of the day made it a memorabe one, and that story proved reevant ater on when he met Robbins and DeStefano for the writing appointment in Nashvie s Guch. Robbins foated the tite Day Drunk into the conversation ironic since she considers hersef a ightweight. I wish I coud drink more, she says with a augh. I just have no toerance the cheapest drunk. Evans story about Baerini s birthday was appropriate for that tite, and Evans much as he does in concert, where he uses a oop peda to become an Ed Sheeran-ike, one-man band kicked into a punchy guitar-chord progression that became the repetitive foundation for the song. The Day Drunk chorus and its who cares? signature were the first section they tacked, which heped map the verses, prechorus and bridge. Sometimes the chorus can reay kind of te you where the verse ends up going, says DeStefano. It s amost natura to kind of go, How are we coming out of this chorus? And how are we getting back into the verse? And sometimes that can spark a verse meody, just because you kind of hear naturay where it woud fa. The first verse took a sma iberty with the Baerini story, turning the coupe s rea-ife birthday toast into champagne on New Year s Eve in the song. At the start of the second verse, the writers amended the pattern, this time making it whiskey for the woman s father s birthday. I aways think the champagne s for her and the whiskey s for him, says Robbins. I know that s the way it is for my boyfriend and I. Foowing the second chorus, they injected an ascendant series of phrases with no rea words, singing woo-hoo-hoo-hoo as a way to create a new meodic component just before a third go-around with the chorus. We fet that there had been a ot of words aready, says Robbins. But it aso gave them another buiding bock for the finae. Those ascendant ines fit snugy over the centra riff and some voca vamps at the cose, an effect they were abe to empoy because each section uses the same chord structure. Morgan does the whoe ooper thing, so we were definitey thinking about something that he was abe to kind of ayer on eary in the song, and that he was abe to bring back in without it rubbing with any of the music in the outro, says DeStefano. DeStefano tracked a demo that day, using Evans basic acoustic-guitar part (which is ikey the same guitar part that s heard on the fina version) and other guitars and effects. In fact, Evans and DeStefano payed every instrument on the master except for the drums, suppied by studio musician Nir Z. His obvious performance on the drums was amazing, says DeStefano, but he aso had some different rhythms that were fet more than heard. DeStefano and Evans turned the who cares part into a puzze, yeing the phrase repeatedy from different parts of the recording studio with everchanging mic positions to approximate a party crowd. I don t know how many times it took before it sounded ike a gang or, as I ca them, a footba team harmony, says Morgan. They aready had finished versions of Day Drunk and Kiss Somebody before Evans signed with Warner Music Nashvie in May 2017, athough after he joined the roster, he revised Day Drunk one ast time. The intro was just a drum part, says Evans. When we do it ive, I do this itte beat-boxing thing, and I said, What if I do that on there? So I went back in after the fact and we took the master back from the abe and I put this itte beat-boxing part on there. If you asked me if I d be beat-boxing on a singe two years ago, I woud have aughed at you, but for some reason it fits in perfecty. Whie Day Drunk is a ceebration of persona time, it transates we as a concert-crowd party song especiay in daytime sots at festivas and the who cares footba-harmony cheer boosts the energy even higher. WMN reeased it to country radio through PayMPE on Sept. 19, and it entered the Country Airpay chart dated Oct. 27 at No. 55, where it remains in its second week. And based on its socia media presence, Evans is confident that Day Drunk has a worthy future. The answer to that rhetorica question Who cares? is meaningfu in the end. What are peope asking for on Twitter? What are they asking for on Instagram? asks Evans. They want to hear this song.
