On Wednesday, 1/2/08, Webcaster Dan Herman announced his list of the
top 100 independent-label/unsigned acts of 2007 to receive airplay on
the long-running Internet radio program Radio Crystal Blue. This list
was generated by Mr. Herman, the program's creator and patron of
indepedently released music.

Wildflower Records alternative-country artist Amy Speace earned her
first #1 position, having received the most airplay and exposure in
2007 on Radio Crystal Blue. Her CD "Songs For Bright Street" was
released in 2006. Alternative rock duo Sirsy, who have just released
their 9th disc "Revolution", earned 2nd place. Acoustic recording
artist Christine Havrilla (Boxrilla Music label) took 3rd place,
largely on the strength of her 2007 CD, "Velocity".
The annual airplay chart is an amalgamation of Mr. Herman's quarterly
airplay charts, which track progressive amounts of airplay over a 3-
and 12-month period. The remainder of the top 10 of this list include:
#4: Lourds (Breaking Records); #5: Tim Blane; #6: Amber Rubarth; #7:
Taylor Davis; #8: Greg Klyma; #9: Ruth Gerson (Tompkins Square
Records); #10: Catie Curtis (Compass Records).
In addition, Mr. Herman announces his list of top 10 CDs released in
2007. At the number one position is "Revolution" by Sirsy. Included in
the top 10 are, #2: "Clockwork", by Tim Blane, and #3: "Slow Southern
Swing", by Taylor Davis
Mr. Herman further updated his list of all-time top recording artists
as heard on his show. Replacing the incumbent, MPress Records
recording artist Rachael Sage, is Talisman Records recording artist
Natalia Zukerman.

Mr. Herman's weekly radio show, Radio Crystal Blue, presents a unique
look at both artists on indepedent labels and those that are just
surfacing in popularity on the Internet. Shows are broadcast live on
the Live365 network, Sunday evenings, from New York. Podcast versions,
as well as streaming audio of archived shows, are kept for several
weeks after the live shows.
