Here's a little chart news to wrap Wednesday up and get Thursday started...The latest Radio & Records/BDS country singles chart is posted, and Bucky Covington's "A Different World" moves up a notch to #11 this week. (We are almost there, y'all! I'd sneak in those links to Lia, The Big Time with Whitney Allen , Danny Wright All Night and After Midnite right about here if I didn't want to look too obvious about those unsubtle hints to request Bucky tonight, but I suppose I'll refrain...or maybe not.) Bucky's album sales also get a mention in Ken Barnes' weekly chart sweep at his "Idol Chatter" blog at USAToday.com: "81-76 Bucky (9,000; 206,000 total): Bucky hits 200,000 and drops just 3% as his hit country single continues to do well." Stay tuned for tomorrow's Top Country Album charts at Billboard.com. (Thanks again to Buckyflowers for the good news.)
And here's even more reason to smile, courtesy of Sirius Satellite Radio's New Country Channel 60. From the station's homepage:
The Daily Bucky!
July 16 - July 20 at 9 pm ET
Bucky Covington’s first single, “Different World” is a New Country hit! Wanna hear his next one? How about the next four? Tune in to New Country every night at 9 pm ET from the 16th thru the 20th to hear Bucky sing a special SIRIUS exclusive version of one of his songs. He’ll chat with Al Skop about each song before he plays ‘em. We wouldn’t let just anyone sing for you every night for a week, this guy’s got talent!
Now that sounds like fun! We'll post a reminder on Monday morning; meanwhile, if you haven't experienced the beauty of satellite radio, Sirius still offers a free online trial--it's a great way to sample the highly addictive experience of New Country for yourself. (Thanks to Ann for the kind heads-up.)
More soon--see you in a few hours!--Winnie
That is so freakin' cool about the Daily Bucky! Wooo hooo! :D

ReplyDeleteHi dbrosch, Buckyflowers and Anon!
ReplyDeleteBuckyflowers, thanks so much--fingers crossed tightly that next week's R&R chart finds Bucky in the Top ten with a bullet. (I think it will. :) And DBrosch, I agree, that Sirius series sounds like a hoot and a half! That is going to be fun to hear.
Anon, that is great--from the very start (when "A Different World" made its debut on Christmas morning--ahh, memories) Sirius has been really supportive of Bucky. Very cool that they read and respond to thise emails, isn't it? Thanks!
