Artist of the Month: Brittney Spencer
Country singers and audiences have long been predominantly white. Think Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. Then came Darius Rucker, and for at least 20 years, he was among the few non-white artists. According to a SongData study, 2.3% of ACM Awards and 1.6% of CMA Awards nominees between 2000 and 2019 were people of color.
