CUMULUS MEDIA will launch the first Adult Contemporary installment of its new multi-week audio series, "Your Music First," featuring SHANIA TWAIN’s newest single, “Giddy Up!," the opening track of her new, sixth album, QUEEN OF ME, her first record since 2017, and debut for REPUBLIC RECORDS. The series will air across 21 of the company’s AC radio stations. The campaign launched last month, and takes listeners behind the scenes of new music from the biggest stars in different formats, including AC, Alternative, Top 40, Country, Hot AC, Rock and Urban.
The shows feature exclusive artist commentary on the song, with artists revealing different aspects of their song’s personal meaning, the inspiration behind the music, and insights on their life and career. As previously reported, THE VALORY MUSIC CO. artist THOMAS RHETT's “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings)” was the initial "Your Music First" feature, broadcasting across 47 of CUMULUS MEDIA's Country stations in markets nationally (NET NEWS 2/6).

This will bring her infectious new song to our listeners – paired with her exclusive comments about the song, what it means to her, and her thoughts on her career and life. Through 'Your Music First,' and in partnership with SHANIA and our friends at REPUBLIC RECORDS, we’re able to showcase new music in a fresh, unique way for our listeners and SHANIA’s fans.”
