56th ACM Awards: Radio Reacts
  With performances spread across multiple venues, and in-house
viewers limited to socially distanced healthcare heroes looking on
                       from the balcony, last night’s (4/18) 56th ACM
                       Awards telecast was not the first of its kind.
                       Therefore, radio pros nationwide were familiar
                       with what to expect and still came away
                       surprised and with a few questions. Here are
                       some of their observations.

          Congratulations to Gabby Barrett,
      Kristen Williams, Tom Martens, Michael
      Chase and the Warner/WAR promotion
      team on landing this week’s No. 1. “The
      Good Ones” hits the top almost exactly one
      year to the day since Barrett’s first single “I
      Hope” (CAW 4/20/21) did the same. Barrett
      becomes the first female artist to see her first     Gabby Barrett
      two singles climb to the summit since Kelsea
      Ballerini’s second single “Dibs” become her second No. 1 in
      February 2016. Songwriters are Zach Kale, Emily Landis, Jim
      McCormick and Barrett.
          This is the 51st week on the chart for Tennile Arts’ “Somebody
      Like You,” making it the longest chart run ever for a female act –
      eclipsing the 50-week record Maddie & Tae’s “Die From A Broken
      Heart” set last year. The 51-week total puts “Somebody” in a tie for
      10th in chart longevity overall.
          And kudos to Chris Palmer, Ashley Sidoti and the Valory
      crew on scoring 117 first-week adds for Thomas Rhett’s “Country
      Again,” which leads this week’s add board. It is his third largest
      add day ever, and the song splashes on to the chart at No. 35.
