LOS ANGELES, CA. (Luck Media & Marketing, Inc.)-The Jones Gang's "Angel," the first single from "Any Day Now," the critically acclaimed debut album by the trio of legendary British rockers Jones (Small Faces, The Faces, The Who), Rick Wills (Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Small Faces) and lead singer Robert Hart (Bad Company), is currently at No 4 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart (Issue Date: October 1, 2005) - and ganging up quickly on hip-hoppers The Pussycat Dolls (featuring Busta Rhymes) and American Idols Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice. Proving that no musical force on earth can compete with the sweet emotional intensity of a power rock ballad, "Angel" was destined for the heavens from the start. It debuted its first week on the same chart at No 15, surpassing pop and modern rock icons like Mariah Carey, L'il Kim and Nine Inch Nails. The song was also the No 1 most added on the FMQB AC chart for three weeks in a row, the first single to do so in years; "Angel" is No 3 on that chart, bubbling behind Rob Thomas and Lifehouse. It's also rising on the prestigious Radio & Records (R&R) chart. Representing the closest reunion to the original lineup of The Faces in recent memory, "Any Day Now" features guest performances by Rolling Stones axeman Ron Wood (who both performs on "Gypsy Lane" and designed the album cover), Gary Grainger (Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr), Ian McLagan (Faces) and Dave "Bucket" Colwell (Bad Company). Woods' artwork is playing a major role in the ongoing Jones Gang co-marketing efforts by the band's label, AAO Music's Reality and its partner Trans World Entertainment, the largest music retailer in the U.S. In addition to billboards and taxicab tops, the company has partnered with USA 3000 Airlines to emblazon The Jones Gang album cover on 14 aircraft. The group's logo and album title appear on the tail, while Woods' drawing appears on the fuselage.
