It Was Fun at #1 !

Hey Everybody, it's that time again and I have to say that after 4 weeks in a row its been fun at #1. However this week, I slipped to #2 behind Asher Roth's "I Love College" as SRC Records' best selling web song on the lala.com website.(click link below to view)
http://www.lala.com/#browse/label/SRC%20Records
However I am still #1 as the top rated song. (click link) http://www.lala.com/#bestsellers/label/SRC_Records/more/webSong::sort=topRated.
I dropped down this week on the R&B Best Selling Songs Chart, from #13 to #17. But again, if u remember this chart includes all other Artist from all other major labels with major push and budgets behind them.

Hopefully my label will get my new single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino added to lala.com, iTunes and all other retail outlets for sale really soon. I would hate to miss out on any early sales of this record; but please continue to be patient. We are still dealing with the politics of this business. Boy do I wish it was strictly about talent! Anyway, Please Don't forget to keep calling your local radio station to request my new song. Until Next Time, stay tuned

I'm in Full Rotation @ WYTT 99.5 Jamz

What up's world? Just doing my daily check in, but this blog will be short and sweet I promise. Basically, I just wanted y'all to know that the Program Director, CJ Riddick @ WYTT 99.5 JAMZ in Virginia that added my song Love Don't Fail Me a couple weeks ago, has been showing me some mad love! A Big shout out goes out to CJ, Thanks so much! He sent the playlist to CK and it is getting 24 spins per week down there. WOW, that's med/heavy rotation and just think.. Universal Motown hasn't even kicked in yet with their promotions. I can't wait to see what happens when they do.. I think I could have a top 5 record with the right push behind it. Anyway, just wanted to keep y'all updated..
Until Next Time
God Bless

Love,
Shire'

What A Weekend!!

Hey Everybody, thanks for checkin in with me again. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Well Friday I had a really great interview with Nick D of 90.9FM WQFS in Greensboro, NC "Radio City". We talked about the state of the music biz and what I think I bring to the business, my short & long term goals and of course my new single "Love Don't Fail Me" , which he assures me they are playing in rotation down there and the release of my debut album "Pickin Up The Pieces" hopefully due out early 2010.
From there I had to go to Atlantic City for an appearance at Jay Z's 40/40 Club. Then on Saturday, I was back in the studio writing and recording and I did this crazy hook called "Aint Da Same Game" for this West Coast Producer/Rapper named "EA-Ski". He hit my manager CK after he got it going CRAZY!!!! So I guess he was really happy..He said its gonna be his first single..so we'll see..
Sunday i just wanna forget about.. Both My Ravens and Eagles Lost, so needless to say it wasn't a good day!

Until Next Time

Love,
Shire'
