2015 – Women’s Radio Network & “I Heart Radio” dubbed Judy “DIAMOND OF THE DECADE” and KC Armstrong will be interviewing her for 3 half-hour segments on March 11th, 20th and 30th. Getting a patent on her own + registering it’s name on her own (without an Atty) and her continued success in the Music Industry were a few of the reasons for this special title!

2016 – Many songs were on various worldwide charts (Kisses, You Make Me Shine, Let’s Make America Great Again, Shop ‘Til I Drop, Your Hand Print on my Heart). Of particular note is that both Christmas songs released (Waiting for you ‘Neath the Christmas Tree & This Christmas, Spread His Love ) charted at #2 and #8 respectively on Airplay Express Top 20 chart.
2017 – “Your Hand Print on My Heart” was released again for Valentine’s Day & was #9 on a Top 20 chart with the likes of Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton and Celine Dionne, etc. “Soul Sisters” was also released again. The best thing that happened with Judy’s music this year is that German DJ, Ursula Kiel, who has been playing her songs for 10 years, chose to make a Christmas Special Show (to be played on Christmas Day) using 10 of Judy’s songs & telling about her career & how she celebrates Christmas. This is quite an honor. Ursula, aka Ulla also made videos of 6 of Judy’s song that were uploaded on youtube. CD Baby has also put all the songs of Judy’s songs from their site. Including the 40+ songs she already had there, at present there are over 100 songs by Judy Welden now on youtube.com.
Judy is a lifetime member of Strathmore Who’s Who Worldwide, Marquis Who’s Who in Entertainment, & International Who’s Who In Popular Music and continues to regularly release her original music to worldwide radio, both am-fm stations as well as internet stations. Judy’s main goal, however, is to have a major singer record one of her published original songs as well as have one or more in films or TV. She hopes to get her patented hats licensed in the near future as well.
