I spoke to my friend Tom Roland yesterday for an article that is going to be in Monday's Billboard magazine. The concept of the article is about the Duo category now that Brooks and Dunn are done.
The betting money is on Sugarland. A good bet but I commented that they did not have a great radio year. That is where the radio people measure success but looking at the others in the category it is no contest when it comes to liver performances and CD sales.
Too bad for a duo like Thompson Square. I think that they had the best radio year. An explosion onto the charts with two top ten songs and a number one with their debut. They will gain more traction but may never have a year like the last. They may win many awards in years to come but this was a special year for the kids.
