A much- requested shot: Bucky Covington has lots to smile about in this fun portrait taken earlier this year by the very kind Hildi. Thanks so much for everything, Hildi!Ken Barnes offered this week's SoundScan info in his Idol Chatter blog at USAToday.com this morning, and it looks like sales for Bucky Covington are on a lovely upswing. Bucky's debut CD has now broken the 300,000-sold mark (303,000 or so, to be a bit more precise), and it rose in sales this week over last by about a thousand extra copies. Nice going, Bucky!
While we're talking numbers, Mr. Barnes also reports in this post that Bucky's first hit single "A Different World" will be the #34 country single for the entire year when Radio & Records officially releases their year-end format charts for 2007. A very good start, indeed...
And to celebrate, how about some fresh, short but sweet "surprise" video at YouTube? From the videographer's notes on the page: "...I didn't even know I was recording until I was trying to take a pic and it came up on my screen..." Enjoy Bucky Covington and a very enthusiastic crowd singing "American Friday Night" back in September. More soon!--Winnie
I cannot get BCO..anyone else having problems? I am having withdrawals.
ReplyDeleteIG2BU is #26 on R&R, up 3 from last week's #29!!
ReplyDeleteIt says BCO's forum is temporarily offline for some reason even though you can access the other parts of the site.
ReplyDeleteThat is great news about Bucky's CD increasing in sales. Let's keep it flying off the shelves. This guy deserves success -- he is appreciative for everything God brings his way.
love that 303000!!!!!!!! and what a cute video. How did I miss it earlier???
ReplyDeleteHi, Cathy Anne and anons! I think the official forums have been down most of the day--no word on why. Hope they'll get them fixed soon...
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the R&R update, Anon 3:25! That is sweet news--I'll try to add that out front in a few. The song's moving at a steady pace in the right direction!
Cathy Anne, you are so right--couldn't happen to a nicer guy. It's always so much fun to se how well he's doing, and what an amazing year it's been!
And, hi Anon 3:25--I think the video might have been a surprise even to the lady who got the footage! It was shot in September, but she just posted it today--he and that crowd sure were having a blast... :)
found another Christmas at the Tennessee. Tonight 12/12 at 8 pm ET on GAC
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anon! Just posted it out front. :)
