 The world premiere of eight new music videos will air on the fifth CMT Big New Music Weekend to kick off Friday, Oct. 14. The videos to premiere exclusively on CMT are Zac Brown Band's “Keep Me in Mind,” Luke Bryan’s “If You Ain’t Here to Party,” Tony Bennett and Faith Hill's “The Way You Look Tonight,” Toby Keith's “Red Solo Cup,” Chris Young’s “You,” Justin Moore’s “Bait a Hook,” Kevin Fowler's “That Girl,” and Casey James' “Let’s Don’t Call It A Night.”

 
The artists will have the opportunity to personally introduce their video to fans each time it airs throughout the weekend. Ultimately, each video will have about 12 hours of airplay. CMT.com will also highlight each of the videos on its homepage.
 
“This weekend is all about the music and another example of how CMT is the place to come for new and exclusive music and videos,” said Leslie Fram, Senior Vice President of Music Strategy, CMT. “BIG NEW MUSIC WEEKEND is not only about showcasing the biggest stars but also introducing fans to the artists who will become country’s next big thing.”
 
Past performers of CMT Big New Music Weekend return when viewers take over the channel during its newest music franchise, CMT Social Hour, to premiere Saturday, Oct. 15. Fans will vote for their favorite videos on CMT’s Facebook page each week, then the top 11 make up the show. CMT’s social network scene is blossoming; they recently surpassed 1 million followers on Facebook and Twitter.
