    CLUB CONNECTION ANNOUNCES TOP TEN COUNTRY DANCE CLUB HITS FOR 2008

    Marco Club Connection(Nashville, TN - Jan. 14, 2009) Marco Club Connection has announced its list of the ten most requested and played country dance club songs of 2008.

    For the fifth consecutive year, a panel of more than 215 nightclubs and dance instructors throughout the country were surveyed during the last four weeks of 2008 to compile the data.

    "This year we had the highest number of clubs participating in our survey ever," says Venue Marketing Specialist Bobbe Morhiser. "It's great to see a mix of new artists like Adam Gregory and The Zac Brown Band on the list along with veterans Alan Jackson and Toby Keith."

    The results for the most played country dance club hits for 2008 are as follows:

  • #1 - Alan Jackson "Good Time" - Jackson's G-O, O-D, T-I, M-E was the runaway favorite for 2008, garnering up to three spins a night during the peak of the song's popularity in the summer last year.
  • #2 - The Zac Brown Band "Chicken Fried" - Interest in this song grew from its initial support in the Southern clubs and spread nationwide within weeks of its release.
  • #3 - Kid Rock "All Summer Long" - This mash-up of Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" was an instant success on country dance floors.
  • #4 - Matt Stillwell "Shine" - Stillwell's debut single has remained on club playlists for more than six months as interest in this newcomer continues to grow.
  • #5 - Toby Keith "She's a Hottie" - Clubs were ecstatic to have a new up-tempo Toby Keith song last spring. The success of this single reserved Keith a spot in the Top Ten Country Dance Songs for the fifth year in a row.
  • #6 - Lady Antebellum "Love Don't Live Here" - This fresh new act exploded on the dance club scene last February with their unique fusion of country and rock.
  • #7 - Sugarland "All I Wanna Do" - Jennifer Nettles' catchy vocal hook and pop appeal made this song destined for success in the clubs.
  • #8 - James Otto "Just Got Started Lovin' You" - Otto struck a chord in club patrons across the country with this soulful breakout hit.
  • #9 - Adam Gregory "Crazy Days" - Gregory's dance remix of his first U.S. single, "Crazy Days," was used in clubs for a classic line dance called "walk the line."
  • #10 - Craig Morgan "International Harvester" - Morgan chugged into the #10 spot with this heartland hit.

    INDUSTRY OFFERS SUPPORT WITH MUSIC VIDEO PRODUCTION

    CMB Artist Services - A Grass-roots Country Music Industry Initiative

    As part of CMB's committment to supporting up-and-coming country artists, they assist performers with a wide range of subsidised production services. This includes full music video production such as the clip below by country music artist Ruby Rose Taylor, or the more traditional on-location approach taken in Dave C. Cawthorn's "When Will It Rain?" filmclip. In the digital era, country music artists require more than just demo sound recordings.

    The "demo" music video clip has become an important promotional tool and a means of reaching thousands of country music fans worldwide via services such as YouTube®, MySpace®, Facebook® and many other internet based video sharing or social networking websites.

    Country Music Broadcasting offers artists the opportunity to have their own country music video produced via a special CMB service which aims to give especially new talent the chance to not only be heard but seen. For more information see CMB's official website.
