CRS 2025 To Bring Back ‘Cycle Of A Song’ Series For Second Year

/by

Country Radio Seminar (CRS) will bring back its beloved “Cycle of A Song” series during the CRS 2025 Digital Music Summit, taking place Feb. 19-21.

The “Cycle of A Song” series, which first debuted last year during CRS 2024, offers a rare, behind the scenes look at the journey of a song from creation to hit status, highlighting the crucial roles that social media, streaming platforms, radio and touring play in growing an artist’s fanbase. This year, the Digital Music Summit will dive into how these elements collaborate within the industry to produce a chart-topping hit, providing attendees with valuable insights into the full lifecycle of a song.

On Wednesday (Feb. 19), Ella Langley will discuss “You Look Like You Love Me” from 11-11:50 a.m., Tucker Wetmore will take a look at “Wind Up Missin’ You” on Thursday (Feb. 2o) from 2:30-3:20 p.m. and, to close out the series, Dasha will give insight into “Austin” on Friday (Feb. 21) from 2-2:50 p.m.

This year’s panel expands on the success of the inaugural “Cycle of A Song” segment from CRS 2024, which showcased Bailey Zimmerman’s “Fall in Love,” Megan Moroney’s “Tennessee Orange” and Jelly Roll’s “Son of a Sinner.” The “Cycle of A Song” concept was originally inspired by the Digital Music Summit’s popular panel, “How They Built It: ‘Fancy Like’ and Its Path to #1,” which explored the breakout success of Walker Hayes.
