Thursday News Brief

News From Around The Country
There’s no question that Lady Antebellum has reigned supreme on the Billboard Country Albums chart in 2010. This week, Lady Antebellum has the number one album on the country chart and the number ten album on Billboard’s Top 200 chart. To date, Lady Antebellum has sold nearly two-point-four million copies of Need You Now. That success translates to the trio headlining their first tour in the fall. They’ve been playing stadiums and arenas as the opening act for the past couple of years, but Dave Haywood says they aren’t ready to venture into that type of tour yet. Instead, Lady Antebellum wants their first tour to be intimate with the fans who have given them so much success. Look for the trio to appear in theatres around the country.

Kenny Chesney will join Will Farrell, Samuel L. Jackson, and Brooklyn Decker as a presenter on the 18th Annual ESPY Awards on ESPN July 14th. In the meantime, Kenny is currently in the final stages of co-producing his ninety-minute documentary on the importance of high school football, which features many of the biggest names in NFL. ……In June, Darryl Worley held his annual Hitmakers & Harley’s concert series, and the numbers are in. The concerts raised over $120,000 to support The Darryl Worley Foundation this year. …… Pat Green received the Texas Music Chart’s Decade Award Sunday night during Houston’s Freedom Festival. The honor recognized Pat for receiving more airplay than any other artist in the ten year history of the Texas music chart.
