I think Keith Greentree's Rodeo Norfolk show is a good barometer. He also gets stuff sent by Duncan Warwick (CMP's Editor). Chuck Cusimano still being played on the show.
Don't understand this - why wouldn't Keith G play Chuck Cusimano?

I'm glad Keith doesn't take requests otherwise you hear the same artists and songs over and over which explains why the Various UK Country classic compilations continue to sell.
