July 11, 2007 — Bucky Covington hit another career milestone this week as his first single, "A Different World," cracked the Top 10 on country radio.

The good news of Bucky’s first top 10 hit comes after a weekend of travel woes for the singer. It all started last Thursday when Bucky and his band, including his 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, but without their luggage and instruments. The next day they showed up on Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends wearing "I Love NY" T-shirts. They didn't connect with their lost luggage and instruments until two days later in Charlotte, N.C., hours before a show.

Bucky's self-titled CD debuted at No. 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. In recent months his national television appearances have included Live with Regis & Kelly, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Good Morning America.
