Hollywood, CA (New

Music Weekly gets a jump on the music awards season by being the first music publication to hold an awards ceremony even before the American
Music Awards and the Grammy's. The New

Music Weekly was a "sellout" which found radio stations, program/music directors, record labels and artists from all over the country in attendance for a spectacular event. The New
