Bucky Covington Keeps on Moving Up
Congratulations, Bucky. The American Idol site posted the following yesterday:
Bucky 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. Bucky and his bandmates finally connected with their lost luggage and instruments two days later in Charlotte, NC, hours before a show at the Charlotte Knights baseball game.
Bucky Covington’s self-titled CD debuted at #1 on Nielsen SoundScan’s Country Top 75 Chart with not only 2007’s biggest unit debut from a new country artist, but also the best first week sales and highest Top 200 debut for any new male country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992.

I’m really happy for Bucky, I liked him alot on AI5. He was definitely one of my favorites. I love his cd and I have never been really into country music much. I wish him continued success.

I love Bucky! I’m so glad they got their luggage back! Just to pass on some information, I use Global Bag Tags, maybe they could have helped in this situation..?
