The First Quarter Of 2015
Was Sam Hunt’s ‘Time’
One piece is missing from country’s pie.
The average pie is divided into six slices after it leaves the
oven, and one was removed from the genre’s sales plate in
first quarter-2015, compared with results from a year ago.
Country album sales slid to 6.2 million from Dec. 29, 2014
through March 29, 2015, according to Nielsen Music. That
represents a 16.7 percent decline — exactly one-sixth — from
a year ago. Country track sales registered at 29.8 million for
the period, also a 16.7 percent drop from
2014’s 35.8 million.
In both cases, the results are bleaker than
sales figures for the overall industry. The
business as a whole racked up 60.6 million
albums during the first quarter, down just
1.8 percent from 2014. Total track downloads fell 11 percent to 277.9 million.
Streaming has often been cited as a major
contributor to the tailspin, though what that
means in a specific genre is tough to pin
down: Nielsen does not break out online
listening by format.
Some of country’s album-sales performance during the first quarter is likely a
result of a slim release schedule. Four of the
top 10 titles from first-quarter 2014 were
released during that period: Eric Church’s The Outsiders, Jennifer Nettles’ That Girl, Cole Swindell’s eponymous debut and
Dierks Bentley’s Riser.
By contrast, only one of the top 10 albums during the first
three months of 2015 was released during the quarter: Luke
Bryan’s Spring Break … Checkin’ Out, which finished No. 2 for
the period with 137,000 sales.
The No. 1 performer, Sam Hunt, ruled both country’s singles
and album lists for the quarter. Montevallo, issued Oct. 27, outsold every other album in the genre at 199,000 units. “Take
Your Time,” the second single from the set, was the best-selling
country track at 619,000 units.
“Time” was most certainly on Hunt’s
side. It was downloaded 62 percent more
often than the No. 2-selling country track:
Zac Brown Band’s “Homegrown,” which
registered 381,000 downloads. Blake
Shelton’s “Lonely Tonight,” a collaboration
with Ashley Monroe, amassed 316,000 virtual sales to finish No. 3.
Meanwhile, controversy aided Little
Big Town’s “Girl Crush.” Despite numerous media reports to the contrary, the song
increased airplay substantially in recent
weeks, and it jumped 4-1 on Country Digital
Songs. It finished the quarter as country’s
HUNT
fourth-best-selling track, with its 291,000
downloads pushing it slightly ahead of a
crowded pack. “Girl Crush,” Swindell’s “Ain’t Worth the Whiskey,” Lee Brice’s “Drinking Class” and Florida Georgia Line’s
“Sun Daze” occupy Nos. 4-7, separated by only 905 units.

GOOD WORKS
When the third annual Tortuga Music Festival takes place April 11-12 at Fort
Lauderdale Beach Park in Florida, the celebration comes with a mission: to
make a difference on the water just beyond the concert site.
The Rock the Ocean Foundation booked Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen, Zac
Brown Band, Josh Turner, Colt Ford and The Mavericks among this year’s
acts, but along with the entertainment is the Conservation Village, a series
of exhibits that call attention to modern issues that have placed the oceans in
peril. This year’s village includes information about the preservation of sea
turtles, overfishing, the destruction of coral reefs and shark conservation.
More than 44,000 people attended Tortuga in 2014.

Lynch). BBR will assign him to a label — Broken Bow, Stoney Creek or Red Bow –
at a later date. In the meantime, Adkins tells Billboard he’s still approaching his
music career the same way he tackled football: “I’m going to run down the field on the
kickoff, and I’m going to knock somebody’s
head off. When I can’t do that anymore,
I’ll go home.”
Several significant on-screen developments involve country artists. Billy Ray

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.
