Girl Power Is The Highlight Of The April Ecast BarPulse

NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Ecast) - Ladies are indeed first (and second, and third) on the Ecast BarPulse for April.

Last month, women dominated the Ecast BarPulse. Four female artists - Mariah Carey, Madonna, Leona Lewis and Trina - held eight of the top 10 spots. Meanwhile, James Otto - an Ecast-featured country artist whose album "Sunset Man" was pre-released on the Ecast network April first, one week before it hit stores - found his way to the number four slot, illustrating the promotional power of Ecast as a launch vehicle for emerging talent.

Ecast BarPulse ranks plays of new music on the Ecast broadband media network, located in over 10,000 bars and nightclubs across the country. Adding more than 1,000 songs each week, Ecast keeps its finger on the pulse of U.S. nightlife and then issues a monthly ranking of the most popular new song plays, nationwide.
