Bucky Covington gives the audience a new perspective on "A Different World" at the Indiana State Fair; many thanks to the talented Buckaholic for this fun shot.
Bucky Covington's new release, "Gotta Be Somebody", [hear it at WBEE] winds up its official radio impact day with two good-news notes: it moves up to #49 on Billboard's Country Indicator chart this week (from its #53 debut), and it's the sixth-most-added country single of this week, according to Country Aircheck. (Thanks to a kind Anon for the Aircheck update.) Looks like it's off to a fine start!
Tonight was a special one at the Ryman for Bucky and his country-music contemporaries, as they gathered to honor the legendary JD Souther at the 47th annual ASCAP Country Music Awards in Nashville. According to the Society's press release: "Honorees and special guests in attendance included Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley, Trace Adkins, Lee Ann Womack, Martina McBride, Keith Anderson, JD Souther, Jackson Browne, Rodney Crowell, Darryl Worley, Jason Michael Carroll, Love and Theft, David Nail, Eric Church, Bucky Covington, Heidi Newfield, Jimmy Webb, Chuck Wicks, Danny Gokey and Billy Currington. Tennessee Titans punter Craig Hentrich also attended." (Bucky became an ASCAP songwriter in 2007; we've always been fond of his songwriting side.) Here's hoping some wire photos pop up as soon as possible...
Updated: Heather Byrd of the Tennessean spoke with several of the stars on the red carpet at the Ryman tonight; click here for the video. (Bucky gives songwriters their props toward the end of the four and a half minute segment.)
Have a wonderful evening!
Please recheck ,as I may be wrong, but I see that Bucky has moved up on the Country Aircheck ACTIVATOR chart from #53 to #44, not #49, this week. Whatever it is, its good to be us!!! He also had 14 adds this week.
ReplyDeleteNevermind...I see you were talking about Billboard and I was looking at Country Aircheck..whatever..he is moving up.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and thanks--the Billboard news came in early, but I missed the Country Aircheck Activator chart. Good to know that Bucky's moving up on both!
