Kacey Musgraves’ track “Dry Spell” has been added by twenty-three Mediabase reporters, yet Griffin Communications’ “Big Country 99.5” KXBL Tulsa, OK, is giving it double the airplay of any other station. Last week, KXBL broadcast Musgraves’ single 30 times, significantly more than Tyler Media’s “93.3 Jake FM” KJKE Oklahoma City, which played it 15 times. “Dry Spell” serves as the initial release from Musgraves’ upcoming album, “Middle of Nowhere,” set to launch on May 1 via Lost Highway.
For the week concluding March 28, the following singles, positioned outside the Mediabase Country Top 50, were spun 30 or more times by at least one reporting station.
