CRS 2026 To Include Three Research Studies
Research Fellow: CRS 2026 will offer three research presentations, as reported in our recent CRS preview (CAW 1/5). On March 18, NuVoodoo will present the results from a 400-song auditorium music test of country fans ages 18–54 who use both radio and streaming platforms. On March 19, Strategic Solutions Research will offer a perceptual study exploring how country fans feel about the genre, when and how they listen and how listening behaviors are evolving. On March 20, the CMA will present findings from its recent teen research study, designed to better understand the next generation of country listeners. Following the data presentation, a panel of radio and streaming programmers, as well as an artist (to be announced), will discuss the findings. CRS is being held at the Omni Nashville Hotel; register here.
