About This Release

Released on July 7, 2007, Vanguard 07/27 reflects the broad spectrum of music being promoted to American radio during the summer of 2007. As part of the long-running Radio Ventures Vanguard series, this promotional CD was distributed to radio programmers and music directors, providing broadcast-ready recordings from a wide variety of formats and record labels for programming consideration.

The collection balances internationally established artists with emerging performers. Mainstream pop and R&B are represented by Justin Timberlake, J. Holiday, The-Dream, Common, Diddy, and Chamillionaire, while rock programming is covered by U2, Linkin Park, Kaiser Chiefs, Buckcherry, Hinder, and Cartel. Country music appears through Brooks & Dunn, while alternative and independent releases by Matt White, Augie March, The Academy Is…, and Let’s Go Sailing further illustrate the multi-format editorial approach that characterized the Vanguard series.

Historically, this release documents a period when promotional CD services remained an important resource for American broadcasters despite the rapid expansion of digital music distribution. The selection captures the coexistence of arena rock, alternative music, contemporary R&B, hip-hop, country, and emerging independent artists on U.S. radio during mid-2007.

Collector’s Note

Linkin Park – “Bleed It Out” was released as the second single from the band’s third studio album, Minutes to Midnight. The song marked a continuation of Linkin Park’s evolving musical direction, combining elements of alternative rock and rap while becoming a staple of the group’s live performances and one of the defining singles from this phase of their career.
