About Us
U.S. Radio Updater was started in 2021 on Twitter by Gideon Dean and Christian Larson. While other trade publications are targeted towards industry workers, U.S. Radio Updater's mission is to bring the data of radio charts and trends to music consumers.
Both currently studying music, business, and broadcasting, they have grown the U.S. Radio Updater brand into a following of over 27,000 on Twitter, made up of everyone from radio and promotion industry personnel to music "stans" to Jimmy Fallon. With an ever-growing Twitter following and developing newsletter (which brings our Tweets together into a weekly infographic!), 2023 was a massive year for the Updater brand. Newly launched on Instagram with more platforms to follow, 2024 is slated to be the biggest yet, and we look forward to delivering you the radio chart stats you know us for!
