"Ain't It Beautiful" on the Move in Europe
BRIANIE GETS TRIPLE TOP

British teenager Brianie has toppled the mighty Clay Walker to land her first Hotdisc number one with "Daddy's School", and doing so she makes it three number ones in one week as she also tops the Independent and British Independent charts, a very rare achievement for a Brit. Dave Sheriff last did it with "Hearts And Flowers" and the only other to achieve the triple top was Lucie Diamond last year with "I Wanna Be Rich". Michelle Wright's "Everything And More" leaps to number 2 while last week's highest entry at number 2 from Daniel O'Donnell is knocked back to 4.

George Hamilton IV gets a 15 place rise to land at number 7 with his cover of "When I Dream" but the highest climber of the week comes from new American indie act Lucas with "Ain't It Beautiful" which rockets up to number 21. Another American act, duo Marshall-Petrone, have also had a good week with their first single in Europe. "Grab Your Beer" is up 10 notches to 20.

The brand new official Hotdisc Chart show, presented by Jackie Storrar, goes online for the first time on CMR Nashville Radio this Saturday morning at 10am as part of her "Country Cafe" programme, but you can hear the show every week on our home page at www.hotdisc.net

"Ain't It Beautiful" Tops Most Added List
Long Beach, CA, Lucas's debut single, "Ain't It Beautiful" scores #1 spot on Country Most Added for the week ending February 22nd, on Airplay Access the first week it was uploaded. Just goes to show how effective and how quickly the digital age can connect the artist and the listener. Radio and the listeners are already enjoying Lucas's music before the CD has even reached the stations.
"Ain't It Beautiful" is the beginning of the ride that you take through song on his new CD. You'll take a trip from Bakersfield, head east to Austin, take a short break, shed a tear or two, and then head on up to Memphis where you taste a little rockabilly, before crusing on in to Nashville where country is revisited. Check out the new single "Ain't It Beautiful" on CDX Volume 442, Track 15. This one is a reflection of the heart of country music. --STS
