film,” said Raymond in his acceptance speech. “It’s life-changing in every
way for everybody that has Alzheimer’s.”
In absentia, Carrie Underwood swiped best country solo performance with
“Something in the Water,” a big-voiced song about spiritual transformation.
Lambert, who shared a nomination with Underwood for “Somethin’ Bad,”
held down one of three live country slots on the telecast with “Little Red
Wagon,” a high-energy number from Platinum. Following previous nominations for Revolution and Four the Record, Platinum marks the first country album
Grammy for Lambert, who was appreciative of what the honor represents.
“It’s moving people,” she said backstage. “That’s why we make music: to
move people.”
Moving them to action — or, at the least, demonstrating solidarity —
was at the center of many pieces in the Grammy TV puzzle. Performances
in the show’s waning minutes by Beyoncé and John Legend represented
battles against oppression and racism. Eric Church used video footage of
street violence to reimagine “Give Me Back My Hometown” as a title about
reclaiming communities for the general populace from America to the Middle East and Africa. And the Recording Academy announced the formation
of the Musicians Creators Alliance, an effort to fight for just compensation
for artists in a transitional era. Lady Antebellum is the first country act
to sign on, along with such artists as Steven Tyler, Jennifer Hudson and
OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder.
Country enjoyed one additional performance during the telecast. Double
nominee Brandy Clark delivered a spare reading of “Hold My Hand,” a traditional country ballad that dissects a jealous streak that arises when a couple
has a chance encounter with the man’s ex. Clark’s clear tones were enhanced
by Dwight Yoakam’s stylized mountain-tinted resonance, with the duet serving as one of the show’s highlights.
Country and folk pioneers were represented in other awards and during
the commercials, too. Old Crow Medicine Show picked up best folk album
for Remedy, with frontman Ketch Secor thanking “Bob Dylan and Woody
Guthrie for lighting the way” in the pre-telecast. The self-titled debut by The
Earls of Leicester, a Jerry Douglas-led all-star band that covered titles associated with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, took best bluegrass album. Plus,
an Omnivore collection of once-lost Hank Williams radio shows, The Garden
Spot Programs, 1950, garnered best historical album.
In between segments, Roger Miller could be heard in a new Android spot,
and the craggy, latter-day voice of Johnny Cash singing “You Are My Sunshine” was part of a Whirlpool ad that also featured Hayes. New Jersey resident Alex Bell appeared in the ad after winning a national contest, honoring
a relative who is suffering from dementia.
“She stopped remembering who I was, but when I sang her this song, she
knew me,” noted Bell in a series of placards. “I love you, Mommom.”
That commercial indirectly underscored the message in I’ll Be Me. While research is still being conducted on the subject, music seems to have a powerful effect
on Alzheimer’s patients, as has been evidenced in Campbell’s struggle. It’s part

of what makes the Grammy mission of rewarding creative excellence important.
“Music, I really believe, kept him healthy for a longer period of time and
enabled him to enjoy his life and his family, even in the midst of living with a
debilitating brain disease,” wife Kim Campbell told the industry audience
during the pre-telecast. “I thank the academy for honoring him with this award.
In honoring him, you are shining a light on his quest to make a difference.”
True to Bones’ AC/DC lament, numerous acts that have passed their commercial peaks paraded across the Grammy stage. Among them were Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Madonna and Jeff Lynne.
Many heritage artists, like Campbell, are fighting the good fight. Others,
like Rosanne Cash, are discovering they have more to share in their later years.
Grammy voters were willing to recognize their contributions.
“Ray Charles said that you’re a better singer at 50 than you are at 30 because
your whole life shows up in your voice,” noted Cash in her third acceptance
speech. “I just have to second the wise words of Ray Charles.”
COUNTRY RATES ON THE POWER 100
Seven executives who work either primarily or exclusively in country

CHART LEGEND
RANKINGS
Country Airplay is ranked by
total audience impressions
for the week ending Sunday
based on monitored airplay of
146 stations by Nielsen BDS.
Audience totals on the chart are
derived, in part, using certain
Arbitron Inc. copyrighted
Persons 12+ audience
estimates (under license ©
2015, Arbitron Inc.). Country
Indicator is tabulated using
reported playlists and Nielsen
BDS-monitored airplay at 102
stations, ranked by total plays.
BULLETS
l Awarded on Country Airplay
to titles gaining audience or
remaining flat from the previous
week. A song will also receive
a bullet if its percentage loss
in audience does not exceed
the percentage of monitored
station downtime for the format.
Titles that decline in audience
but increase in detections will
also receive a bullet if the total
audience erosion for the week
does not exceed 3%. Bullets are
awarded on Country Indicator to
titles gaining plays or remaining
flat from the previous week.
TIES
On Country Airplay, if two songs
are tied in total audience, the
song with the larger increase
in audience is placed first. On
Country Indicator, if two songs
are tied in total plays, the song
with the larger increase in plays
is placed first.
RECURRENTS
On Country Airplay, descending
titles below No. 10 in either
audience or detections are
moved to recurrent after 20
weeks, provided that they are not
still gaining enough audience
points to bullet or if they rank
below No. 10 and post a third
consecutive week of audience
decline, regardless of total chart
weeks. On Country Indicator,
descending, non-bulleted titles
below No. 10 are moved to
recurrent after 20 weeks.
HOT SHOT DEBUT
Awarded to the highest-ranking
new entry on Country Airplay and
Country Indicator, respectively.
MOST ADDED
The total number of new adds
officially reported to Billboard by
each reporting station, or by an
automatic-add threshold (seven
plays for the first time in a chart
tracking week, according to
Nielsen BDS) for stations that do
not report adds.
MOST INCREASED AUDIENCE/
PLAYS
Most Increased Audience on
Country Airplay and Most
Increased Plays on Country
Indicator list the songs with the
greatest week-to-week increases
in total audience or plays,
respectively.
AIRPOWER
Awarded on Country Airplay to
titles ranking inside top 20 in
plays and audience rankings for
the first time, with increases in
both plays and audience.
BREAKER
Awarded on Country Airplay
to titles achieving airplay (at
least one detection) at 60% of
reporting stations for the first
time.
