Wynonna Judd "Tell Me Why"

For years, US 99 (WUSN-FM) was the premiere country music radio station in Chicago. After launching in 1982, the station went on to knock out their four main competitors en route to twenty-plus years of dominance. They actually billed themselves as "America's Country Station" after becoming the most listened to country station in the country -- so take that! In 2015, Clear Channel/iHeartMedia launched a country station called "Big 95.5" that did what all the stations (including KICKS Country 94.7FM) couldn't--it gave US99 a formidable opponent. The result: multiple staff shakeups, management changes and numerous tweaks to the music. Today, US 99 continues to hold the title of #1 country radio station in Chicago...for now.
