WKML "Top 5 at 6" and more...

It's almost time for WKML's "Top 5 at 6"--how will Bucky Covington's "A Different World" fare in the countdown tonight? Listen to the online stream now, and stay tuned--we'll have the results for you here later this evening. (Bucky was back at Number One tonight--congratulations and thanks to all who requested!)

And there's a "Nightflight Dogfight" challenge at 97.3 the Eagle (search link fixed) in Virginia Beach at 9:15 ET tonight--Bucky was the champion yesterday, and his single faces a new challenger later this evening. This station streams too, so listen for details on how to vote for "A Different World". Results after the show...

Edited at 9:35 to add KQFC in Idaho--contest in progress, station streams online. Go now!

(Update: Bucky's "A Different World" won both the Idaho and Virginia Beach dogfights in landslides! Bucky was also a "Love It" pick on WQMX's "Love it or Leave It" tonight in Akron. Thanks to everyone who endured those long-ringing phones this evening. More soon!)

  14. Yay # 1 I have links to check out! lol Thank God you were on top of it today lol Zach's been a sicko today with a cold so I have been entertaining him lol Kellie's album went gold.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh no--hope Zach gets better soon! A cold's no fun for anybody, but it's especially tough for the little ones. Hope he bounces back fast.

    (And big congrats to Kellie--great news!)

  18. I am trying to find out but their maze of a site keeps crashing my browser. :(

    I think it's at about 9 p.m., but wanted to see the actual time on the site before I posted that on the blog. If you find the info there, let me know!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Bless you, anon--that worked! Guess it is the main page of the site that is crashing my browser so badly. The challenge starts at 9:15, and I'll post it up front now.

    Nice to see the company Bucky's keeping in the "new release" grid. :)

    Seeing that Bucky is the header for the Billboard chart beat column is just too cool (even if they are using the fugly mustache shot). I love the fact that he is slowly (well maybe not that slowly) but surely inching his way up the country chart in true Bucky fashion without a lot of fanfare and Idol related hoopla and winning new fans left and right on the power of his vocal talent and the perfect first song. I am so impressed by the support he is getting from Lyric Street and Mark Miller. I also love that fact that he is taking his time with his first CD and really trying to make a real album that you will listen to from start to finish.

    PS: I straightened out my ticket goof with Ticketmaster and I now have a ticket for the 9th not the 6th. Woo hoo. I'm going to Nashville!

  21. Excellent news--I am really looking forward to seeing you there! It's going to be a fantastic experience--a sweet bit of history in the making.

    And you have a good point--the pace so far seems to be that of an up and coming country singer with a head-turningly good debut single, rather than the usual "ex-Idol, ta-dah!" fireworks, and that's good for the long run. The 20-30 years Bucky spoke of wanting would be a dream come true for us as well; this is a wonderful start.

    I did not vote but listened in. Bucky won the Dogfight in Virgina with ease. If he has one more win tomorrow he will be retired as a big champ!

    I thought it was cool that many of the people calling in for Bucky were men. :)

    Good going men and women of my old home state! :D

  25. I love this news--thanks so much! I will add the Akron info to the post. (Hey, after that Canton GAC concert, I knew Akron was going to love it--they went wild for Bucky there!)

    And let's hear it for the guys! :)

  27. I love to see all these wins!! I was watching Nashville Star and my Bo was in the audience. Almost fell over lol

  28. Bo was at Nashville Star tonight? Whoa! Glad he's back and healthy and ready to rock. :)

    I wonder that he was there...does that maybe mean they will have him participate in some way in a future show? Maybe they plan a southern rock night?

    ReplyDelete
  30. If they had a Southern Rock night--with Bo--the ratings spike would be so high that the producers might start up a spinoff. Bo is beloved!

    I couldn't believe Bo was there last night - I just started watching this show. Nice, nice bonus. I *heart* Bo; him and Bucky need to get together and have a BBQ or something. ;)

    I don't think my station will ever play him. Well it's not technically "my" station since I don't really listen to mainstream country radio, but still, I've suffered through enough of their programming - the least they could do is throw me a bone. Does anyone know if he's been played on any Clear Channel stations.

    Once again, thanks to Winnie for the great resource here. I don't know how you find the time but here's looking at you, kid. ;)

  34. Anon, I feel your pain! Sounds like you and I are in the same boat--my local country station is CC-owned, and it has an extremely tight playlist. This vintage PC can't pick up all the streams out there, but I'm veryhappy to have lots of listening options on the intrawebs...

    There are two CC stations I know of offhand that are playing Bucky's single; B-93 in Flint (of Birthday Bash) fame, and WTQR in Winston-Salem. (The kind lady who wrote to me with news about the latter said the the DJ told her they'd been playing it only at night for the last few days, but they'll be adding it to the daytime rotation sometime this coming week.) Hopefully more will hop on board soon.

    And as far as time goes...um, I'll just say that since that blurb about Bucky being signed popped into my inbox on New Year's day, the sleep-to-coffee ratio has reached a dangerously unhealthy level... ;)
