NY Daily News media critic David Hinckley noticed a lack of Mindy McCready music on NY's new country station Nash FM. I guess he figured with her Monday night suicide, the station might play some of her old hits as a memorial. The fact is that very few country radio stations played any of her music following her death. I looked at the Mediabase airplay monitor to measure the McCready Bounce, and it was pretty small. She went from less than ten spins a week before her death to about 160 spins afterwards. That's adding up spins for all three of her singles played on over 130 monitored stations. Not a big bounce. Could be that McCready's most recent hit is over 15 years old. She had become a bigger reality TV star than she ever had been in country music. And even when she was current in country, her music was criticized for being too pop. WYNY 103.5 was gone by the time McCready made her debut in 1996. The New York audience didn't have a lot of connection to her music even when she was musically active. So it should be no surprise that she received no airplay after her death.
