What is Hotdisc?
It
is the leading promotional company for country music in Europe via its Rush Released imprint.
Hotdisc has been operating for 18 years with the sole aim to promote
new music to its network of DJs mainly in Europe, who support the venture which
first began in 1998. Hotdisc is open to all acts from Britain and Overseas to
take part.
They have now produced an incredible 224 editions - that's one every month
without a break for 18 years which
services over 700 DJs and media in Europe with brand new music for
their shows and attention.
The 200th edition was celebrated with a special
3-CD edition and special offers to artists who had taken part over the years.
In August 2016 mention was made in Country
Music & Dance magazine and via David Allan’s page in Country Music People
and Stuart
Cameron gave away £4000 of
free slots to acts (on a first come first serve basis) who had never used Hotdisc before!
Hotdisc very generously put talent before financial gain to enable them to help give
acts a leg up in the industry and generate airplay for them as well as
introducing them to new markets and new fans.
Taking advantage of the offer saw many debuts including:
Chloe Chadwick, Holloway Road, Luke & Mel, Steve Young, Sasha McVeigh,
Kelly Oliver, Gary Quinn, Roni, Kira Mac and Official UK Album Chart Toppers Ward Thomas with their song “Boomerang”!
Those contacts who receive Hotdisc in physical or digital format score each of the tracks from 1 to 10 and give feedback comment and offer critique and the DJs indicate which of the tracks they intend to play on their shows.
After DJ reactions have dropped off by around
the 12-week period Hotdisc then push down the average sharply by an overall
percentage point of 0.5 points per week following 10 chart frames for a track on
the chart.
The Hotdisc charts are NOT based on airplay but
solely on a POINTS basis.
Scores are averaged out per week to give an
accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry.
New charts are
published every Sunday afternoon following the first broadcast on the countdown
of the Hotdisc Top 30 Radio Show.
The charts are published online at www.hotdisc.co.uk and appear in print in:
Country Music People, Up Country & Country Music & Dance, the 3 main country magazines on the market.
Looking For Music Promotion?
If an artist has a track on a recent Hotdisc release it would be in their interest to communicate that news to their fans on social media to encourage them to request the track on their favourite country show.
If an artist has a new single, EP or album to promote it could well be worth their
while as unlike in America and Canada (where music is distributed across radio
networks) in Europe a lot of DJs still request to be furnished with physical
product as their show or station is not set up to play out digital tracks. For
an artist to burn tracks on a CD, the cost of postage and having to try and research
which country programmes exist across Europe the Hotdisc service could prove
beneficial. It also provides them with the opportunity to appear on the points
based Top 40 chart.
Hotdisc Awards
After
being part of the British Country Music
Awards (BCMAwards) and UKCountryradio.com
awards format Hotdisc took the decision and positive strides with their inaugural Hotdisc Awards for
2016.
On Monday 2nd January 2017 the Hotdisc Awards, presented
by former BBC2 TV and Radio 2 country presenter David Allan, were broadcast across the UK on
Sky/Freesat/Freeview TV's Keep It
Country TV channel (>> Watch it back), with eight awards given out to acts based on genuine success over the last 12
months using data from the Hotdisc Top 40 which is compiled each week by the
cream of Europe's country music DJs.
Hotdisc was proud of the
transparency of its Awards which are completely free from public votes
which are open to manipulation. Recipients of the attractive laser-etched
trophies could be rightly delighted with their achievements coming from their
peers importantly based on merit.
TRANSPARENCY: For the
2017 Hotdisc awards they are going one step further in their aim to get even greater
transparency and complete credibility! They will publish the chart points for everyone
who makes the Top 40 of the year.
20 points will be awarded for a No.1 and 1 point for a No.20
position.
