As America Observes Dolly Day, a Look at The Enduring Qualities of ‘9 To 5’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ella Langley set a record with her 23rd week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas,” a song that — because of the fragmentation in modern formats — is still unknown to a fair amount of music fans. Dolly Parton, by contrast, got just two weeks at the top on the pop list in 1981 with “9 to 5,” and just about everyone knew it. Inside and out. Forty-five years later, in the wake of Parton’s death on Aug. 25, much of America is celebrating Dolly Day on Sept. 25 — not because it marks
Chart Rewind: In 2021, Walker Hayes’ Commercial Song Was ‘Eatin’ Good’ at No. 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Walker Hayes built a song around his family’s trips to Wendy’s and Applebee’s, he unwittingly created the most popular item on his career music menu — and the most ubiquitous. A dance that Hayes crafted with his daughter for “Fancy Like” caught fire in a 2021 TikTok, and the Applebee’s reference led to a TV advertising campaign. At its peak, the spot ran on national TV more than 100 times a day, according to Advertising Age, aiding its popularity on other platforms. Following its June 26, 2
Americana’s Annual Conference Addresses Music’s Mission In Divisive Times (opens the original)

When Sheryl Crow received the BMI troubadour award on Sept. 14, she broke into tears as she revealed that her mother no longer recognizes her. But, she added, when Crow sings something from the Great American Songbook, her mom perks up and sings every word. Her reveal unwittingly set up some of what was to come when the annual AMERICANAFEST opened the next day in Nashville. Between the songs and the personal stories of the genre’s artists, it tackled a bundle of difficult issues, including suici
Niko Moon’s ‘Rich Man’ Mines a Valued Country Theme, Brings Perspective to Priorities: ‘The Kind of Thing That We Like to Be Reminded Of’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Family and finances make strange, but necessary, bedfellows. Parents want to provide for their kids, but too much working can create distance between the breadwinner and everyone at home. Conversely, if there’s not enough income, that has its own intensity, particularly at the end of the month. Against that backdrop, Niko Moon offers “Rich Man,” a song he wrote on the road in the Midwest. Touring successfully is a goal for nearly every working artist, but the separation that goes with it makes t
Chart Rewind: In 2001, Cyndi Thomson’s Debut Single Was ‘Meant’ for No. 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cyndi Thomson experienced a series of firsts in 2001 thanks to “What I Really Meant to Say.” That May, the Tifton, Ga., native heard herself on the radio for the first time; in July, she released her first album, My World; in August, she sang “Meant” in her Grand Ole Opry debut; and in September, she took the single to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, dated Sept. 22. It all emanated from an awkward encounter that Thomson had with an ex at a party just a few weeks after a breakup. Sh
