Edited to add request info: Sirius' Listener Line number is 877 33 SIRIUS.
If you are a Sirius subscriber*, please request "Different World" by Bucky Covington at that number, or online from "Request a Song" link at the New Country page.

Sunscreen (who has some major positive karma headed in her direction) just shared this classic screenshot, along with some lovely, lovely news: "Well, I just heard Bucky on the radio. He sounded fabulous..." (She goes on to say it should be a huge hit: "'Different World' is a top-notch song and Bucky's vocal choices on it are perfect!") Edited to add--she heard it again at about 2 p.m. MT.

If you haven't done so already, feel free to head to Sirius and sign up for their three day trial--and if you love the service (it's a wonderful way to listen to music), consider signing up for the whole nine yards. (Yes, this is still a non-profit blog, and that was not a commercial--but we're talking about Bucky on the radio, y'all.) If you do already subscribe, Bucky's on "New Country", Channel 60.

Congratulations, Bucky! (And big, enormous thanks to Sunscreen for this wonderful Christmas gift!)

Hey, it's another edit! A very good question about request etiquette was raised in the Chatbox; for now, since Sirius is the only radio airplay so far, it's best to stick to one phone and/or one online request per person, per day; with IP address tracking and caller ID, it's very easy for stations to tell if someone is over-requesting or street-teaming. As has always been the case with Bucky, slow, steady and real wins the race. (It's a great song, sung well--chances are we won't be the only ones requesting it...)

The best news is that it's perfectly okay (and helpful) to ask your friends to request it, too! The more individuals asking for "Different World", the better. Hoping to get more info on the best ways to go about this--but isn't it fun to be considering radio request etiquette so soon?

What an exciting Christmas gift we've been given today!

*Sadly, radio brass consider requests made by people who can't listen to their stations to be "spam"; previous Idol finalists have been badly hurt by negative radio industry reactions to "spam" requests from well-meaning fans. If you would like to request Bucky's song on Sirius, sign up for the three-day pass. And if you can't subscribe, don't fret--soon, "Different World" will be heard on plain old FM radio, too. Enjoy!
