News bites for a busy Sunday:

• A few weeks back, Country Weekly magazine ran their annual poll to determine their readers' pick for "Country's Sexiest Bachelor"--now Today's Country Magazine is asking you for your choice among the top ten! Bucky Covington's on the list--head over to the magazine's site now to give him your support, and be sure to check out the rest of the excellent offerings while you're there. (Thanks to Cathy Anne for the heads-up.)

• Bucky's also a part of this weekend's chart news at CMT.com, both directly and indirectly--his brand new single, "I Want My Life Back" [hear it here]is noted for its return to #50 after a little polevault, and the soundtrack from Hannah Montana, the Movie (enjoy video of Bucky talking about his film debut here) debuted at #1 on this week's Billboard Country Albums chart.

• Today, Bucky and his band perform at the the Nashville Arthritis Walk--for last-minute info, head on over to the Arthritis Foundation's site.

• The beautiful Buck Wild blog has an intriguing post about Bucky's possible picks for a Commodores cover on his upcoming album, including links to the original tunes. Which one will it be, and will it make the new CD in September? Ahhh, mystery...
  

• Finally, a reminder about that GAC's Top 20 Songs of Summer poll--"It's Good to Be Us" is one of the video choices, and it certainly fits the summer-fun theme! The poll ends on May 11th, and we can vote once a day.
