Regarding record-low PPM ratings, Brenner points to “a I’m currently bingeing See and Ted Lasso on Apple TV.

February 22, 2022 Page 16 Power Gold Holds (continued from page 1) “Crazy Town” makes its way back on for the first time since 2015, marking the longest time a song has ever spent off the list between appearances. Luke Combs and Florida Georgia Line tie for second place, each placing six songs – also a repeat from last August. The Winter 2022 PG100 is composed of 35 male artists with 72 songs, five groups with 11 songs and three women with six songs. Carrie Underwood is the only female to place multiple titles on the list and is also the highest-ranking female at No. 22 with “Blown Away.” It should be noted that many of the biggest female hits of the past couple of years (e.g. Gabby Barrett’s “The Good Ones” and Maren Morris’ “The Bones”) are still classified as recurrents and are not yet eligible for the Power Gold list. Country Aircheck once again broke out the PG100 along ownership lines to analyze how different titles fare among different groups (see chart page 21). Last August, “Whiskey Glasses” was the only title to finish in the top four among each of the three largest station owners. This edition finds the title first among Audacy stations and second among iHeart stations, but it falls from fourth to 32nd among Cumulus stations. The only song to land in all three groups’ top 10 this edition is Sam Hunt’s “Body Like A Back Road.” Of the overall top 10, eight titles are also top 10 among iHeart stations, only three are on Audacy’s top 10 and just one title (Hunt) is among Cumulus’ top 10. Seven songs have appeared on each of the 17 PG100s since it became a regular feature in 2009: Dierks Bentley’s “What Was I Thinkin’,” Kenny Chesney’s “I Go Back,” Billy Currington’s “Good Directions,” Rascal Flatts’ “Life Is A Highway,” Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” Keith Urban’s “Somebody Like You” and Tim McGraw’s “Something Like That.” The latter also holds the distinction as the only release from the ‘90s to appear on this list. Honorable mentions go to Zac Brown Band’s “Chicken Fried” – which has placed in all 15 lists since becoming eligible and has yet to finish lower than No. 16 – and “Wagon Wheel” by Darius Rucker, which has finished in the top four in all 10 lists since it became eligible.
