We wanted to share the great news that Steve Louw’s single grabbed a coveted spot on the NACC Top 5 Folk Adds Chart this week, tying for #2!
This is a great accomplishment, because there are dozens upon dozens of releases going for adds every week (and only 5 spots!). This is also great, because making the charts is harder for singles, as many stations prefer to save those spots for full albums/eps, so even singles by established artists or on big labels are fighting for a spot.
