Promise to Pursue hits #1 on the East Coast Countdown

April 14, 2008

The East Coast Countdown, Atlantic Canada's award winning syndicated radio program revealed yesterday that the #1 song of the week is Promise To Pursue from my album Perfect Blue. 500,000 listeners tune in each week on radios across the country and via the internet so I'm more than pleased to share the news with you. This program is a democratic based chart so reaching the top requires the votes to get there. I therefore tip my hat to all the supporters of my music who took the time to vote for my single with so many other excellent songs to choose from.
