I wonder if Taylor Hicks got any bump off being on American Idol? I always thought “19″ was more a country song..
I don’t know Taylor’s exact numbers for last week..but they were the best since week 1 – in the 5K range. Usually it is the second week after the performance before the full result is seen.
If country stations actually give him some play – it could be mean significant increases…otherwise it looks more like Bo’s second release….just over 60K to date.
Link to Taylor’s new video for 7 mile..
