The Hotdisc chart is compiled from DJs and industry professionals’ ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work in Europe because there are no terrestrial country stations. The hundreds of country programmes on air which we service are likely to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it does not work here. Any Airplay Chart you may see claiming to provide this service is bogus and Hotdisc does not condone these charts at all. They are misleading at best for the reasons stated.
The Hotdisc charts are put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months’ editions of Rush Released. The scores are averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the industry professionals are flagging up as quality songs. This is a very useful exercise as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and done solely on merit!

RANDOM SEASONAL THOUGHTS.
We’ve been on a lot of TV shows with Ralph Emery and his guests…
Music Hall America, That Good Old Nashville Music, Pop Goes the Country, etc..
Once Ralph whispered to me before the show:
“Jack, don’’t say anything to embarrass me.”
He opened the interview with “Well, Jack and Misty, what have you been doing?”
I said “We’ve been living in a cardboard box in Central Park.”
He said “I think I’’ll talk to Misty.”
I don’’t know what comes over me sometimes.
Autumn is my favorite time of year… a season of moods.
The first chill after summer has worn out its welcome…
That’s when I start to feel the holidays coming on.
Not that we do any big celebrating these days…
But it’s the remembering of celebrations past,
and those who were with us during good times.
The empty places at our table.
THANKSGIVING…
In England they celebrate that the Pilgrims left.
Many years ago when we were playing a lounge in Kentucky
Misty and I saw a restaurant sign that said. “FRIED CHICKEN”.
We went in, sat at the counter
and a man who looked like Colonel Sanders served us.
This was before anybody had ever heard of KFC.
After we ate he asked us if we liked it.
We said we did.
He said, “Good. I’m thinking of franchising it.”
I’m getting rid of my new walk-in tub.
People keep dropping in because they don’t need an appointment.
Misty is craving beets. She eats them right out of the can.
It’s weird! She’s even laughing about it.
We hope she’s not pregnant.
I’ve got to go to the store today
and get Misty a gallon of eggnog ice cream and a case of beets.
It’s been a weird week.
ONE WINTER DAY…
I thought I saw robin, but it was just a sparrow with a chapped chest.
A young guy and I waited at the door.
He said, “Age before beauty.”
I went through and said, “Pearls before swine.”
Neither of us was trained in music.
Misty plays by ear and I learned music theory and arranging from books.
Misty has perfect pitch and an amazing memory for music.
We both started out playing standards, light jazz, and whatever paid the bills.
Misty was filling out some forms at a doctor’s office today.
She said, “What do I put here?” I said “Nothing”,
so she wrote “Nothing”.
We hope the baby doesn’t swallow another bullet.
Those Kevlar diapers are expensive!
Still working on my new song…
“Cranky. I’m Cranky for feeling so lonely…”
BIG PARTY AT THE SEA PALMS.
The Sea Palms at Saint Simon’s Island
was one of the weirdest gigs of our career, so far.
St. Simon’s sits in the blue Atlantic Ocean,
off the coast of Brunswick Georgia.
Nobody knew who owned the place,
and so the rumor got started that Misty and I did.
The lounge manager asked me if it was true,
and I said “Shhh, I can’t talk about it.”
The rumor went wild and we had a great time.
One regular customer was an elderly lady
who was very quiet and appeared to be lonely.
In the last picture I have in my memory,
she was out on the full dance floor with a drink in her hand,
dancing with the bartender.
A MOUNTAIN MORNING…
After a day when everything went wrong,
we checked into a mountaintop lodge at Lake Arrowhead.
We got up the next morning,
pulled the cord on the drapes that covered a whole wall,
and they opened onto a wall-sized picture window.
The forest was covered with two feet of new snow,
without a sign of life, except for some rabbit tracks.
A real-life Christmas card. It was June in California.
Prozac killed my blues career.
We were playing in a restaurant on Big Sandy Lake, in Minnesota.
It was almost Thanksgiving
and the lady who, with her husband, owned the place said,
“I have to go pick up thirty turkeys.”
I said, “I didn’t know you drove a school bus.”
Sometimes I’m such a smartass.
Laughing stock: Cows that giggle.
My selective memory is getting too damn selective.
I could hide my own Easter eggs.
I have a fear of people with phobias.
She: “Bewitch me, darling. Bewitch me.”
He: “I’ll be witch you in a minute. I’m busy.”
Old song…
I’ll Never Be Free.
I’ll Always Be Reasonable.
I like cowboy hats,
but when I sit down and lean back the hat tips up in front.
Jack Blanchard.

This weeks #1 on the IndieWorld Country Record Report
Mickey Gilley – “Swinging Doors“
– Country Rewind/Pretty World Records
www.IndieWorldCountry.com
“There’s Still a Little Country Left” is the first album Daryle Singletary has released since 2009. I consider myself the world’s biggest fan of traditional country music! It seems Daryle is, too, He remains true to his roots, and describes himself as a “hardcore country traditionalist.”
If you are looking for something totally different from what you are hearing on today’s Top 40 Country radio stations, then you are looking for “There’s Still a Little Country Left”. This is not the country/rock, country/rap, and country/pop stuff we are hearing on the radio these days. You’re going to get the music that we all remember from when it really was country. And, Daryle definitely knows what that music is supposed to sound like.
With an album name like “There’s Still A Little Country Left”, you get some idea what you are going to hear when you hit the play button on this one! There are fun songs, thought-provoking songs, songs that bring back a lot of memories, fast songs, slow songs, and a few mid-tempo. But, there is one thing every one of these songs has in common. They are all great, and they are all country.
I’ve spent a lot of time listening to this album since it was released few months ago. Every song is easy to listen to. Every song tells a story. And, every song has that very distinctive Daryle Singletary vocal. “Say Hello To Heaven” is telling a story about losing someone he loved, someone a whole family loved. And, that person was obviously killed in an auto accident…and, the lyrics are beautiful.
“Sunday Mornin’ Kind of Town” is the kind of Sunday I had growing up. A lot of our younger generation may not remember that kind of Sunday , but this song paints a great picture of what kind of day it was. And, the kind of Sunday I would like to have again! Right after that great Sunday Mornin’ song, we get “Spilled Whiskey”. This is one of those song you can picture Daryle singing in front of a dancing crowd at a honky-tonk or a Texas dance hall. Well, these days, most of us would call that place a ‘club’ or even just a ‘bar with a dance floor’. It doesn’t matter what you call it. We all know that kind of place, and this is the kind of music that you would want to dance to when you get there. It’s also the kind you are going to want to listen to, just because you can!
I believe the song “Like Family” might be my favorite. Like all of Daryle’s songs. There is a story here. It’s a story that a lot of today’s career people may have forgotten about. That is how important family is. This one is slow – it’s one of those ‘close your eyes, lean back in your chair, listen to the music, and remember’. But at the same time, the song is packed full of things that will make you realize, more than you did before, that your family is the most important thing you have.
“So Much Different Than Before” is really as much about growing up as it is about change. This is such a great melody. It’s a happy melody. Which kind of goes along with the story he’s telling. How things aren’t just different than before, they are better. He slows it back down a little with the next song. “Enough to Lie To Me” is wonderful. Remember when we used to tell people how pretty their dress was, when was really awful. Or, we might tell them that they really did a great job decorating their living room, when we actually thought it looked terrible. And of course, there was the reference Daryle made to his parents telling him about Santa and flying reindeer. He remembers those times. The whole point of this song is “Wouldn’t it be nice if someone still cared enough to lie to me”.
