NuVoodoo Media's 2025 study surveyed 1,500 Country music fans across the U.S., offering insights into shifting perceptions, behaviors, and preferences within the genre. The findings indicate that, despite increased competition for audience attention, a majority of respondents believe the overall quality of Country music is improving.
The research also reinforced the ongoing importance of Country radio. It highlighted radio's role in supporting on-air personalities, fostering music discovery, and capitalizing on local opportunities to strengthen connections between listeners and artists. Additionally, industry experts emphasized the significance of live remotes and public appearances in keeping radio relevant and engaged with audiences.
