Lady A’s record breaking third disc OWN THE NIGHT debuted at the No. one position on Billboard’s Top 200 chart last month, becoming the biggest first week debut by a country artist this year. Its current hit “We Owned The Night” is the album’s second single and follows their fifth career No. one hit “Just A Kiss.” The trio’s previous two albums have sold over five million copies across the globe, spawned four No. one hits, scored six GRAMMYs and over a dozen other award show trophies. The group is currently nominated for Vocal Group of the Year for the 45th Annual CMA Awards, Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group for the 2011 American Music Awards and will be honored as one CMT’s five Artists of the Year in December. They will kick off the first leg of their OWN THE NIGHT 2011 TOUR on Nov. 11 in Knoxville, TN.

Darius Rucker has again topped the charts with the release of his sophomore country album, Charleston, SC 1966, on Capitol Records Nashville. Since it’s October 2010 debut, Charleston, SC 1966 has garnered two No. one hits with “Come Back Song” and “This.” The third single, “I Got Nothin’,” is on country radio now and working its way up the charts. His chart-topping 2008 debut release, Learn To Live produced three consecutive No. one singles and Top Five smash, “History In The Making.” In addition to country music, Darius offers much of his time to charitable efforts benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation, and many others.

One of Country music’s biggest breakout acts of 2011, Stoney Creek Records’ Thompson Square, has earned 12 major awards show nominations in 2011. The husband-and-wife’s infectious hit single, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not,” reached the coveted No. one spot on both Country radio charts and has sold 1.5 million downloads to-date. The single is also the most played song of the year on Country radio (Mediabase). Thompson Square’s current single, “I Got You,” is cresting Top 10 on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country radio charts and is a No. one hit on the Music Row chart.

Taylor Swift Dazzles KFC Yum Center

Taylor Swift @ KFC Yum Center

 

 Taylor Swift made up her canceled July  concert with a dazzling performance at a sold out KFC Yum Center in Louisville ,Ky.  It was quickly evident that she was completely forgiven, as her fans arrived early dressed in Taylor full attire. The fan based consisted of females from early teens and younger many with mothers in tow, carried signs asking to be selected for Swift’s famous T-Party after show meet and greet. The Yum Center plaza filled up before 5:30p.m. as many tried to beat the traffic jam created by the closing of the Sherman Minton Bridge.  This was the first major show since it’s closing and traffic began backing up before 4 o’clock. As fans piled in the arena, the plaza was scattered with fathers who waited outside during the show for their daughters.

When the curtain came down around 8:30.  Swift was greeted to a screaming audience unlike anything I have heard since The Beatles. The elaborate stage that included cut out areas for her fan club. The background included a  gold stairwell and three video screens. Taylor Swift is a beautiful talented performer, she danced, played guitar and her vocals couldn’t have been better. She connects with her audience as well as anyone in the business.

This show was worth the wait and made up for the thousands of hearts that broken from the cancelation. I overheard one fan saying” I have had this ticket for 269 days and I would do it again to see Taylor.
