New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ PLA Media) Renowned classically-trained crooner Andrew Heller is no stranger to success as his latest album, the inspirational country effort Reach Out, quickly becomes a much celebrated achievement. Two tracks off the project and two more from previous albums all are currently garnering top spots on four different national charts. The Way the Wind Blows - No 10 on the FMQB A/C Chart Reach Out - No 18 on the Christian Country Chart. Angels Don't Always have Wings - No 12 on The Power Gospel Chart Kansas City - No 27 on the Country Chart His first single off Reach Out, a relationship ballad titled The Way The Wind Blows, has been climbing the FMQB Adult Contemporary Chart since its release beating out Taylor Swift consistently. Written by distinguished songwriter Royce Swain and currently sitting pretty at No 10, the song expresses the often fast-changing nature of relationships likening those transformations to the ever-changing weather. Dealing with similar subject matter, the title track from Reach Out spins the same emotions with a positive, upbeat tempo. Holding strong at No 18 on the Christian Country Chart, Heller encourages listeners to "reach out" and share their love with someone or something. Even with the success of Reach Out, some of Heller's earlier tunes are still getting buzz and landing on prominent music charts. Angels Don't Always Have Wings off the I Believe In Angels album is presently ranked at No 12 on the Power Gospel Chart while Kansas City off Places has a prime spot at No 27 on the Country Chart. Before performing his chart-topping hits on stages across the world from symphony halls to presidential inaugurations, Heller was an IBM Fellow and led IBM's Independent Business Unit that created the RS6000 line and Unix (AIX) product lines as president. Today, Heller and his wife own and operate DiamonDisc, a record label that distributes Andrew Heller's projects and a catalog of recordings by Charlie McCoy, Willie Nelson, Don Cherry and the late Boots Randolph. Over the years, Heller has appeared with orchestras as varied as the Austin Symphony, the Philadelphia Philharmonic, and the iconic Western Swing band The Texas Playboys. Heller was a 2010 nominee for Entertainer of the Year by the Inspirational Country Music Association. To stay updated on Andrew Heller, visit www.heller.com.
