Christine McVie's First Single "Friend" Is the #1 Most Added Song at Triple A Radio
New Album, "In The Meantime" Is Out September 7th
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/27/2004 -- KOCH Records is thrilled to announce that "Friend" (the premiere single from Christine McVie's forthcoming album "In The Meantime") has officially been declared the #1 most added song at Triple A radio by Radio & Records (R&R) beating out stalwart acts like John Fogerty, Lenny Kravitz, k.d. Lang and Crosby & Nash.

The song was most added everywhere, including Triple A heavies KBCO (Denver), KINK (Portland), WXRV (Boston) and WRLT (Nashville). KINK Program Director Dennis Constantine says, "Christine McVie's 'Friend' brings back fond memories of her soulful contributions to Fleetwood Mac like 'Say You Love Me' and 'Don't Stop.' It's great to hear Christine's voice on the radio again!"

Christine's new album, "In The Meantime," will be released on September 7th on KOCH Records (in partnership with Adventures in Music). This is Christine's first official solo outing since the release of her self-titled album in 1984. The new album can be previewed now in its entirety at www.christinemcvie.com

The European press community has already started heaping praise on the forthcoming release as evidenced by a recent MOJO review that states: "Just so we know she means business, McVie leaves no doubt that she's shut the door on her past. The songs cackle with ire, indignation and with none of the frothy self-deception of the past."

For over thirty years, Christine McVie was a pivotal member of Fleetwood Mac and the creative force behind some of the band's biggest hits including "Don't Stop," "Little Lies," and "You Make Lovin' Fun." Her velvety, instantly recognizable voice played a huge part in the band's worldwide success. By 1998, at the time of Christine's departure from the 'Mac,' the group had sold over 55 million records worldwide.

Sonically, "In The Meantime" is a return to that classic McVie sound and production that fans have come to love over the years.

Wow, some great news!

It's true Friend is kind of like "love in store'' or say you love me etc

I have to say that I'm a little surprised, but VERY pleased by that news! :D

I was concerned that without a lot of press and without any American visits, the album and any singles might not receive a lot of attention here. Glad to see I was wrong (but at least my first time being wrong was pretty painless ;))!

This sounds like great news! Does anyone know what AAA radio is?

By the way, "Friend" reminds me of "You Make Loving Fun".

You're always wrong Johnny, that's what's so right about you!
(ok it's a MASH line)

No, Johnny's always politically correct and extremely passive(not that there's anything wrong with that{okay, it's a Seinfeld line}). ;)

w00t! that is awesome news! :)

Yes I know what you mean - it's the keyboard part

Very good news. Maybe the album will do significantly better in the US than in the UK then. Maybe even better than Say You Will. ;)

I'm with you, but no one seems to know, so I'll give it another shot just in case. :)

Does ANYBODY here know what AAA radio is?

I've never heard ot it.

Say You Will barely went gold in the Us and since I wasn't a fan of that album I surely hope that Christine's album does as well or better. :)

This is great! *waves hands in air back and forth*

Liberal Wiener! LOL! I've seen that cartoon several times and it is hysterical.

If anybody wants a good laugh you must see this cartoon of Bush-Kerry singing 'this land is your land'.
