Hayes Carll tops album airplay.
Four acts dominated the ratings for Americana radio airplay in 2019.
Texas troubadour Hayes Carll scored top spot in the prestigious Americana Radio Airplay Albums of 2019 with What It Is, released in February. The album’s opening track, the quirky “None’ya,” was placed at number 10 on the Americana singles list in the last 12 months.
The number one spot for Americana singles airplay went to the Colorado folk/rock band The Lumineers with “Gloria,” off the album III which was the third most played Americana album during the year.
Sharing the honors was singer-songwriter Josh Ritter who scored runner-up spot on both albums and singles charts with Fever Breaks – his tenth studio album - and its single “Old Black Magic.”
Completing the top four was the high-profile Lukas Nelson and his outfit Promises of the Real. They placed third on the singles list, with “Bad Case,” off Turn Off the News (Build a Garden) which was fourth on the most-played-albums chart.
Top 100 lists were compiled by the Americana Music Association from records reported to the Americana Radio Airplay Albums and Singles Charts for the period of December 18, 2018, through to December 17, 2019.
Despite their airplay popularity, none of these four acts was nominated in the applicable categories – Best Americana Album/Best Americana Roots Performance/Best Americana Roots Song – at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards to be announced on January 26.
The only Grammy contender to reach the top ten of either the album or singles airplay list was British sensation Yola, whose Grammy-nominated album Walk Through Fire was the ninth-most-played album on radio during 2019. This has been a good year for Yola, who, in fact, has four Grammy nominations, including the all-genre Best New Artist category.
