It's good to be Bucky Covington, as the singer wraps the year as Country Aircheck's #1 New Artist for 2007. His top slot ranking is based on the strength of his top 5 first single "A Different World" and his current hit, "It's Good To Be Us," which is currently #26 and rising. Cumulatively, both singles earned more than 643 million audience impressions in 2007 as reported by MediaBase.

Bucky's self-titled debut CD released in April 2007 and opened at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. With sales of 61,000 units in the first week of release, Bucky ends the year as 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 in fifteen years.

As a result of his radio and sales success, Clear Channel recently selected Bucky as one of only five country artists in their "Best of 2007" class. Country radio programmers also chose Bucky for 2008's CRS New Faces Show.

In early 2008 Bucky is scheduled to open select dates on Trace Adkins' "American Man" tour. He'll also team up in the new year with Dierks Bentley for the singer's "Throttle Wide Open" tour.

Speaking of his current hit, "It's Good To Be Us," Bucky took us behind the scenes with him for the making of this video-check it out now!
