NASHVILLE BOUND EXPLODES ON MYSPACE CHARTS
New Songs Power Nashville Bound to #2 on MySpace!
This past weekend, May 11-13, Nashville Bound finished #2 on the MySpace Top Artist Swing chart with 353 total plays on Sunday. Of course the silicone valley music experts, in a quandry over how to rank the Music City outlaws, today listed the band #73, not #2 like the fans demonstrated.
While Nashville Bound stunned the experts with 353 plays, MySpace ranked a band #2 with 304 plays, #3 with 162 plays, #4 with 88 plays and #5 with 90 plays for the day. Every band between #2 and #72 on the MySpace chart had far fewer plays than the Nashville Bound powerhouse.
New releases "What Life's All About" and "Photographs" posted by Nashville Bound Sunday both reached nearly 100 plays their first day out, an astonishing performance that continued to confound the silicone valley music experts.
"Margarita You're Such A Cheater", the signature hit that reached #1 on Soundclick charts and is the most popular song on their MySpace site gave the band 3 songs, each with enough plays to merit top 10 ranking on their own.
When asked to comment on the latest bizzare ranking at MySpace Nashville Bound founder and song writer Jim Putnam issued the following statement.
"For 2 weeks we have tried to get MySpace Music to explain to us why we aren't in the top 10. So far we received 3 stupid responses having nothing to do with our questions. Their silence on our absence from the top 10 in Swing and top 100 in Western Swing has forced us to take our case to the public.
"Since only 3 country-swing bands show up in the top 100 for unsigned artists one wonders if the silicone valley experts are aware of the rich tradition of country swing and jive in our nation's history. The fans sure are, fans from around the world that listen to us.
"In the end we play for the fans, not the experts. We just want MySpace to let people know how the fans have voted us #2, and how much we appreciate their support. Sometimes I wonder if the so called silicone valley experts have been out of diapers long enough to even know what country music means to America and the world."
