About This Release

Released on June 22, 2007, Vanguard 07/25 demonstrates the broad format coverage that characterized the Radio Ventures promotional service during the summer of 2007. Compiled for radio programmers and music directors, the Vanguard series brought together newly released singles from a wide range of genres, allowing broadcasters to evaluate current recordings suitable for contemporary hit radio, rock, country, urban, Christian, and adult-oriented formats.

This edition presents an especially diverse mix of artists. Mainstream pop is represented by Fergie, while rock and alternative releases include Social Distortion, Chevelle, Silverchair, Spoon, Rush, and Mute Math. Urban and hip-hop audiences are served by Huey, Johnta Austin, Mr. Criminal, and Che’Nelle, while country programming is represented by Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith. The compilation also features contemporary Christian recordings by Tobymac and Mike Farris, reflecting the wide editorial scope of the Vanguard series.

Historically, this release captures a period when American radio formats had become increasingly specialized. Rather than focusing on a single genre, Vanguard continued to provide programmers with a cross-format overview of current releases, illustrating the diversity of music being promoted to U.S. radio stations during the middle of 2007.

Collector’s Note

Fergie – “Barracuda” was recorded for the soundtrack of the 2007 film Shrek the Third. Originally written and recorded by Heart in 1977, Fergie’s version introduced the classic rock anthem to a new generation of listeners while coinciding with the commercial success of her debut solo album The Dutchess.
