Since 2009, Robb Haagsman & Rupam Sofsky have worked together, promoting artists at NACC / College & FMQB / Commercial Specialty Radio formats. The duo boast an unrivaled track record of breaking artists at the College & Commercial Specialty formats, jointly sharing more #1 charting CMJ/NACC releases than any other radio promotion team! In 2017, Shine On made Alvvays the longest running #1 artist
at college radio for the year, as well as bringing Fleet Foxes & Father John Misty to #1. They also scored successes for a variety of other amazing artists like Grizzly Bear, Beach House, Dirty Projectors, Conor Oberst, Iron & Wine, Wolf Parade, Protomartyr, Oh Sees, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Mogwai, Lee Ranaldo, The Horrors, Bully, Shabazz Palaces & Liars. In 2016, Shine On took several artists to #1 at college radio including: Conor Oberst [Nonesuch / Warner], Thee Oh Sees [Castle Face], Andrew Bird [Loma Vista], King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard [ATO] & Grimes [4AD]. We also managed great runs for Coathangers [Su***de Squeeze - #1 LP] & Natural Child [self-released - #2 LP] at Commercial Specialty/FMQB SubModern. In 2015 - with a different radio firm, at the time - the trio spent a whopping 28 out of a possible 47 weeks at #1 on the CMJ Radio 200 Chart!!! [For context, the team in second place only boasted nine weeks out of a possible 47.]
In 2015, while at a previous firm, Rupam & Robb pushed the following artists to #1 on the CMJ Radio 200 Chart: Sleater-Kinney [ #1 performing CMJ release of 2015!], Beach House [5 weeks at #1, longer than any other release], The Alabama Shakes, Grimes, Father John Misty, Thee Oh Sees, Protomartyr & King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard.
