(Bucky Covington photo: Kristin Barlowe)A big thanks to Marzy for this week's sales update-- according to Ken Barnes of USA Today's Idol Chatter blog, Bucky Covington, the album, "had a big jump, from 1,300 to 2,000, for a total of 325,000". Nice going! You can read the entire roundup of Idol graduate sales figures here. On the Radio & Records country singles chart, Bucky's "It's Good to Be Us" moves up a notch from last week, to #16 with a bullet.
And if you'd like a little back-story with that bullet, enjoy this just-published profile of Bucky Covington at the Associated Content news site, written by yours truly. Whether you're a long time fan or a new listener who'd like to know more about the man behind "It's Good to Be Us", you'll find Bucky's musical journey fascinating--and the best part is that it's only just beginning. (Many, many thanks to the very kind Hildi and to Honeygirl and friends for making the photo that accompanies that article possible--y'all rock!)
A tech note--some folks (including me) are still having problems with seeing Photobucket/TinyPic-hosted images here while using the Firefox browser; images are coming up fine on Internet Explorer. If you're having any difficulties with the blog, please let me know and I'll try to troubleshoot as best I can...
Finally, a not-so-subtle reminder-- Lia, The Big Time with Whitney Allen, After Midnite and your favorite local or syndicated country radio DJ won't know you're eager to hear "It's Good to Be Us" tonight unless you tell 'em--so call and request! More soon--Winnie
