Where do we stand?

Hey guys, wanted to catch everybody up on what's going on in the world of Due West. Sorry it's been a while since our last blog entry... we boys have been BUSY! :) ..we love it.

Our debut single "I Get That All The Time" continues to make its journey slowly up the charts. We are all very pleased with how things are going so far, and although the process takes a lot of patience and hard work, it will all be worth it.

Currently there are over 200 stations across the country playing our song! That is such an amazing reality for us to comprehend, and it blows our mind every time we think about it. With that number of stations playing it, we've managed to claw our way into the 40's and 50's on the several charts mentioned before ("A Brief Lesson In Radio").

This place we've reached so far is a HUGE success! The next big task will be getting over this 'hump' that we're staring at; because once you break into the top 30's and 40's, especially as a new unknown act, then a larger majority of the remaining stations start to take you a little more seriously.

We like to give the analogy that everyone (radio station programmers) is standing on a big giant line - kinda like a starting line; looking from right to left, up and down the line... they're all wondering who's gonna go first..."you go" "no, you go..." As soon as a few of them take a chance and make that move off the line, then ALL of them will follow suit. At that point it becomes a snowball effect, because as explained in the previous blog, the more stations that play "I Get That All The Time", the higher the song charts...the higher the song charts, the more stations want to play it...and so on, and so on.

What can YOU do?

If you know that your local radio station IS playing our song - even if it's only once or twice a week - call them up and request it..a lot! :) Let them know how you feel about the song.

If your local station isn't playing it yet, or doesn't have it yet, be patient... they will get it when it gets higher on the charts.

Once it does get into the top 30's and 40's, and you DO begin to hear it more frequently, the next major test at THAT point will be finding out how the song connects with the listeners. ...if they can relate, if it speaks to them, if it's catchy, etc. So feel free to call them and RAVE! :)

We can't wait for that stage of our journey with this song! We feel so passionately about this song, and we sing it from such a real and honest place, that we can't help but feel that the listeners out there will 'get it', and identify with the song as well.

Thank you all again for being such great friends and fans to Due West!

Brad, Matt & Tim
