Lady Antebellum Rides ‘Need You Now’ Straight to #1 for the Seventh Week in a Row

Still riding a wave of shock and excitement from their wins at the CMA Awards, Capitol Nashville trio Lady Antebellum continue to celebrate as the lead single and title track ‘Need You Now‘ from their forthcoming sophomore album strides into the top spot at Country Radio in Canada for the 7th week in a row.  This makes ‘Need You Now‘ the band’s second consecutive No. 1 hit and longest running chart topper at the Canadian Country radio format this year.

The trio was awarded “Group of the Year” and “Single of the Year” at the CMA Awards, where they also performed the passionate lead single.  Following that dramatic performance, the song shot straight to the top of the iTunes all-genre digital singles chart and has held its place there since.

“We have been on clouds 9, 10, 11 and 12 all week,” says Hillary Scott.  “As songwriters, we really couldn’t be more proud…we are just putting our stories and emotions in these songs and to know that other people have these same feelings is so amazing and wonderful and validating…not just on an artistic level, but also on a human level…We feel so much love from the country music community and other artists and country radio and the fans.   I get emotional even talking about it now.”

Lady Antebellum is gearing up for the release of their sophomore album NEED YOU NOW on January 26, 2010.  They will finish up a few remaining tour dates through the end of the year and then join Tim McGraw on his “Southern Voice” tour at the beginning of next year including stops in Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Toronto.   For behind-the-scenes videos from the studio, visit www.ladyantebellum.com
