ABOUT THE NEW MUSIC AWARDS:
NMW is proud to be the first and only award show not weighted down with the
politics and corruption of the corporate world, but an award show showing
the true talent which exists in the music industry today. NMW's motivation
for providing the most updated and fairly tracked radio airplay information
is owed to the philosophy of radio pioneer and legend Bill Gavin, who
started Gavin as a weekly tip-sheet for radio programmers in the 1950s. It
wasn't till the early 1990's that Gavin's philosophy was finally archived
with the bureaucracy of major label politics . .thus the founding of New
Music Weekly.
ABOUT NMW:
New Music Weekly, has graced the pages of Billboard, R&R, Gavin, Friday
Morning Quarterback, Music Connection, Inside Connection and most recently
Soap Digest has found great success with their charting system which
includes Top40, Adult Contemporary, Country, College, Americana, and Rock
radio stations. Most recently with the formation of Backstage
Entertainment's newly developed Spins Tracking System (STS) it has already
impacted over 5000 radio stations since the beginning of 2005.
New Music Weekly has also been honored as "Magazine Of the Year" award at
the recent Los Angeles Music Awards. The weekly music trade magazine which
has fast become the top chart breaking publication for new music and artists
scored top honors during the event held in Hollywood, California.
The magazine which is heading towards its sixth year of publication boasts
over 500 reporting radio stations in the genres of Top40, Adult
Contemporary, Country, College, Jazz and Alternative/Rock.
NMW has also found success with its Future Hits compilation CDs. This
multi-format music sampler enables recording artists to get their music to
the hands of radio station program directors that will support new artists
regardless of label affiliation. In addition, New Music Weekly owns and
operate the New Music Radio Network which services it's syndicated radio
specials to hundreds of Country and Mainstream radio stations.
