Highway 16 Test Drive: Trisha Yearwood - RESULTS ARE IN!

Listen in Friday morning in the 8am ET hour for a Highway 16 Test Drive -- help pick the next Trisha Yearwood single!

Spread the word -- tell your friends to be listening to Jay Thomas on XM's Highway 16 (DirecTV channel 814) Friday morning! He will play both contenders, and then take YOUR feedback via email or phone, and compile it all for our friends at Big Machine Records.

Funny note... this came about because someone at Big Machine heard the Alan Jackson test drive we did yesterday morning. I LOVE getting those phone calls!

WOW -- this turned out to be our closest "Test Drive" ever.

53% of voters chose "Nothin' 'Bout You Is Good For Me" with predominantly female votes
47% of voters chose "They Call It Fallin' For A Reason" with a pretty even mix of male / female votes

Which means -- Big Machine has a tough decision to make!

Producer J. said...

Yes. But if I told you I'd have to shoot you.

Anyone want to take a guess?

Drown Me and Nothing Bout Memphis??


I really love Cowboys, but don't think today's Country radio will play it.

BTW, Amber deleted the thread.

my guess... Fallin and drown me? I'd love to see Memphis in there though, and cowboys!

Nothin Bout Memphis would be my choice, but I won't hear it, even if selected because my crappy Clear Channel local station won't play a single until it goes top 20, unless of course its by Carrie or Jessica Simpson. Her song is so NOT country I have to turn the channel.

Producer J. said...

One of them have been mentioned in these comments.

I have filed a complaint on the message board Nazi.

I like the Jessica song. But then again, my favorite song on the radio right now is by Hootie. :-D

yes, FM radio sucks. That's why we love XM.

I'm guessing "Nothin' Bout You is Good for me" and "Drown Me".

I'd love to hear Nothing Bout Memphis but I don't know how it would do. It's an AMAZING song. I think it's time for an up tempo again. This album is so amazing it's hard to choose. I guess that's why it's not MY job. :)

And um... XM ROCKS!!!

I'm just sorry my favorite isn't one of the choices ;) I saw the choices on XM's website.

Nothin' Bout You Is Good For Me

I would have prefered, Let the Wind Chase you :(

I would choose - They Call It Fallin' For A Reason - If I really had too.

J keep up your good work and also send a big thanks to XM-Highway 16.
