LOS ANGELES (Midas Records) - Adult Contemporary
Radio or A/C as it's known & is not only 'your mother's radio station' anymore as an entire crop of youth-oriented music artists have taken over the format as profiled in last week's cover story in Billboard Magazine. Now
ANGEL has scored a No 10 'with a bullet' (bullet denotes should rise higher next week) this week on the AC 40 chart in the industry trade magazine FMQB (Friday Morning Quarterback). '
Love Is,' from Angel's solo debut album
Believe In Angels... Believe In Me broke into the Top Ten on the chart along with such top-selling artists as Los Lonely Boys, Maroon 5, Tim McGraw,
Hoobastank and
Kelly Clarkson. Climbing the chart below
Angel are other young and/or veteran artists like John Mayer, Uncle Kracker, Ashlee Simpson, Dido, Matchbox 20,
Sarah McLachlan and Elton John. The Billboard article pointed out that the A/C format has recently brought together mothers and daughters who for the first time in decades are enjoying the same songs and artists.
As A/C and most radio formats shift to Holiday programming around Thanksgiving, Midas Records is providing the gift of music to all appropriate radio stations.
Angel has come out of the studio with her own unique take on a couple of holiday favorites; 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' and 'Oh Holy Night.' Not only that but she has recorded 'It All Started With A Child,' an original (K. Follese/A. Follese/J. Reid) produced in Nashville. As 'Love Is' is relevant as ever during the holidays it will be included in the 4-song package being serviced to radio, the media and will also be offered as a special gift to
Angel fans when they purchase any merchandise on her site www.angelfaith.net
Angel has received rave response by the media, educators and students for her ongoing Midas Records Presents: The VH1 Save The
Music Tour starring ANGEL. Beginning last March,
Angel has performed at over 100 schools and 100,000 kids, also talking about how to avoid drugs, alcohol and tobacco to achieve their dreams. 'Just The Way I Am,' her first single from the album garnered significantly airplay at Top 40 radio and the video is being shown on The N on Nickelodeon's Noggin channel as well as online on AOL and Launch/Yahoo! Her single/video for 'How Can I Lie' is set to heat up the dance floors at the clubs and on dance specialty radio. 'Lessons in Love' is the next Top 40 single/video from the album set to drop in early 2005.
Angel is departing for Tokyo later this week for a promotional tour as
Believe In Angels... Believe In Me has just been released by Pony Canyon Records in Japan. She is also on Clear Channel's L.E.I.
