Promoted to more than 500 stations throughout the US and Canada by leading college radio promotion company, The Planetary Group, the compilation has already been added to the playlists of more than 170 stations.

A number of the tracks have been placed on the competitive CMJ charts - several are on the top 5, top 10, top 20 and top 25 charts - beating out many major label releases. Only 3 weeks into the campaign and the momentum continues to grow.

"The response to the Independent Music Awards Winners CD from college radio is very strong. It's unusual for a compilation to get this kind of play," said Planetary Group founder, Adam Lewis. "Radio stations are impressed with the quality and diversity of the acts and have responded by charting it on the CMJ Most Added chart."

More than 100 stations from coast to coast placed the compilation CD in medium to heavy rotation, with some of the most enthusiastic support coming from WMLU in Farmville, VA; WSWI in Evansville, IN; 106 VIC in Ithaca, NY; KTRM in Kirksville, MO; WRGW in Washington, DC; KKSM in San Marcos, CA; WMHW in Mt. Pleasant, MI and KAOS in Olympia, WA.

Co-sponsored by Borders Books & Music, winners of this year’s program are promoted to more than 6 million Borders customers and to thousands of music fans and industry professionals via print, broadcast and online promotions.

The program's year-long marketing campaign, partnerships and distribution alliances puts IMA Winners and Finalists in front of millions of music fans and industry decision makers around the world.
