Bucky Covington hits a heartfelt note during an appearance with Sawyer Brown at the DeKalb Cornfest this summer; photo courtesy of the very kind Cindy, who enjoyed the show up close. Thanks, Cindy!Kathy at Team Covington has a great link and a fantastic image for you--head over there now to see a still from the brand new Bucky Covington Hyfntrak video player and to follow her link to a brand new article at WKBO. The player features Bucky's new music video for "It's Good to Be Us", along with a scrolling "Bucky Bullets" fun facts section at the bottom of the screen. Among the "bullets"--Bucky will be part of this year's People Magazine Country Music special edition, which should be hitting the shelves very soon. Update: look for it on the newsstands November 9th. (Remember that blog post we linked a while back in which the writer spotted People photographing Bucky, Kellie Pickler and Bo Bice in Nashville? Should be a gorgeous as well as an informative issue...)
If you'd like to share Bucky's video player with your friends via email (and please do!) here's the direct link to cut and paste, courtesy of the very kind Sunscreen of the Bucky Truck Stop:

And after they've seen Bucky's exciting video, they might want to ask for the song on the radio, too. (How's that for an awkward segue?) "It's Good to Be Us" moved up a spot overnight and now graces the #32 position on both the Mediabase weighted and Top 500 charts. It was also the #1 song on last night's WKML "Top 5 at 6", too! (Thanks, Debra.) We are flirting with that Top 30 spot...so very close, y'all. Can we get even closer? Keep requesting!

I have been anxiously awaiting this issue of people. Bucky and Bo in the same place... trying not to giggle......
ReplyDeleteThanks sunscreen for the email link... very cool!
Sales this week are 2,000 (sold 2,100 last week) Total of 289,000. I hope the new video help sales and really hope to see his spins increase at a little faster pace then they have been.

Kathy, I totally agree--that is a beautiful combination. Can't wait to see that People special issue! I bought last year's, and it was really well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stats, Marzy and Anon! "A Different World" is really going to be a perennial at radio...we'll be hearing Bucky's first hit for years and years. And I am with you in the hopes for that spin increase on hit #2, and for that nice upward bounce on the sales front.
