Official Release from Lyric Street RecordsNashville, TN – July 9, 2007 – Buck y Covington hit another career milestone this week as his first single “A Different World” cracks the Top 10 on country radio, delivering the country singer his first Top 10 hit. The song is currently reaching a weekly audience of 21 million listeners.The good news of Bucky’s first top 10 radio hit comes following a weekend of travel woes for the singer. It all started last Thursday when Bucky and his band, including twin brother Rocky, flew from Las Vegas to New York City following a show on Independence Day. After a five-hour delay the group finally arrived in the Big Apple, however their luggage and instruments remained in Las Vegas, which explains why all showed up on Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends wardrobed in “I Love NY” t-shirts.

Fox and Friends, Lost Luggage and a Power picks Match
2007-07-06 15:23:00
Photo by ©SuzanneBucky, (sporting a haircut) Rocky, Don, Hans and Shaun appeared on Fox and Friends this morning and entertained the hosts as well as the viewers with great music and as always, funny little anecdotes. Seems the airlines lost their luggage so Bucky and the whole band were sporting matching I love NY t-shirts, (still giggling a little heh) and Don was sans his trademark hat. If you missed it hopefully someone will post it online at some point today. Bucky mentioned Kellie Pickler texting him and teasing him about what she would do if she heard his song on the radio one more time and told the story of him showing up for Elliott Yamin's CD Signing and jokingly asking for his money back. He was thankful Elliott has a good sense of humor. Bucky also got a mention from Elliott in a recent interview here.Thanks to Laura for always keeping us informed on CMT Power Picks line ups, it is much appreciated. A Different World will be featured in a challenge today in the Noon h...

I have to say what a fantastic job y'all did on requesting A Different World!! Mediabase was showing that Buck y had moved down 69 spins early yesterday morning. Well look at the chart now... not only has he gained those back, DW is now sitting at a +87 and most importantly - the bullet is back! Keep up that great requesting. The weighted chart has him at #13 with that lovely little bullet.

Chart watch for the Weekend
2007-06-23 16:49:00
Mediabase is sketchy this morning, but lest we all panic, fluctuations are normal. Bucky is up to #13 on the important weighted chart and that shows A Different World still has life and can go top 10 and beyond. Just look at recent charts. Jason Aldean's Johnny Cash lost it's bullet and slipped but now... boom it is #10. Brad Paisley's Ticks seemed to have stalled at 3 but then it went #1. So keep up the all important radio requests this week. A Different World has already gained 27 spins at post time just since I checked earlier this morning. He lost some spins but is gaining them back quickly. If you are interested in an unofficial Street Team to give you ideas on helping out etc... you can join one here run by dbrosch. You an also find radio stations in your area to request DW on Radio Locator. Besides, since when do Bucky fans ever give up??A Fan Blog supporting Country Music Star Bucky Covington.
