NuVoodoo Research to Present Country Fans Insights


NuVoodoo Research delivers actionable insights from a major nationwide Country music study at the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2026 in Nashville. The presentation happens Friday morning, March 20, right before the crucial spring ratings period begins.

The study draws from 600 Country fans evaluating more than 400 song titles, spanning back to the 1990s. It equips stations of every size with reliable, immediately usable intelligence for smarter playlist and programming choices.

"Reliable research is one of the most valuable tools a programmer can have, but it's not always accessible to everyone," said Justin Chase, Beasley Chief Programming Officer and CRS Research Committee Chair. 

"This music test delivers insights programmers can use immediately, helping stations of all sizes make smarter, data-driven decisions."

Leading the in-person session are NuVoodoo Founder Carolyn Gilbert and President/Media Research & Marketing Leigh Jacobs. They express deep thanks to Curb Records and RJ Meacham for sponsoring and enabling this resource for the Country radio community.

Thesession stands out as part of CRS 2026's expanded multi-day research focus (held March 18–20), giving attendees timely, high-value listener and music data to sharpen their competitive edge in a fast-moving format.
