Am I the Only (Number) One?
This week, Dierks Bentley is the "only one" sitting at Number One! Congratulations, Dude, on your 8th #1 hit, and a huge thank you to all the DB Congress for helping to get him there!
Here is what Billboard had to say in their chart roundup:
Thank you all again for your hard work! We rocked it out - pat yourselves on the back!
~ Carrie S. (DBC Rep/Chart Reporter ~ NC)
Here is what Billboard had to say in their chart roundup:
Dierks Bentley closes a gap of more than two years at No. 1, as “Am I the Only One” draws 39.2 million audience impressions and becomes his first leader since “Sideways” ruled for two weeks in July 2009. The new chart-topper is Bentley’s eighth, a list that boasts three consecutive No. 1s between December 2005 and November 2006. He first led with debut single “What Was I Thinkin’” in September 2003. Reaching the summit in its 22nd chart week “Am I the Only One” is the artist’s second-longest No. 1 climb—he needed 24 weeks with “What Was I Thinkin’.” His best time to No. 1 was 17 weeks with “Every Mile a Memory” in late 2006.And from Mediabase/Country Aircheck:
Congrats to Dierks Bentley, Steve Hodges, Shane Allen and the entire Capitol/Nashville promotion team on scoring this week’s No. 1 with “Am I The Only One.” The chart-topper is the first single from a new album expected early next year.Here are the final numbers for those of you who are curious:
- Billboard 39.2 million audience impressions/5539 spins up 198 over LW
- Mediabase 40.6 million audience impressions/5934 spins up 231 over LW/854 points gain
Thank you all again for your hard work! We rocked it out - pat yourselves on the back!

Dierks Gives DB Congress Props In Chat With US1035
US1035's Catfish and Launa in Tampa, FL talked to Dierks Bentley this morning and they played Domestic, Light and Cold--which Dierks admitted was never a single, but would be a good fit for the set list of the upcoming Country and Cold Cans Tour.
Dierks talked about his thoughts being with the families of the fans killed in Indiana. Launa asked if he makes the decision to go on stage with pending bad weather and Dierks said, "...country singers want to get out there...our fans are here, they paid money, they wait all day long, we wanna get out there and at least play two or three songs."
They compared Catfish's old car to Big White--Dierks' old truck with 196,000 miles. The bus on the other hand is 50,000 miles shy of a million miles--we're gonna have a big million-mile party for the bus.
But my favorite part was the huge DB Congress shout out!
"...I go out to these shows and they're all out there with their [DB Congress] shirts on and the congress--I call the fan club the congress--I figure if you're part of the fan club, you spent money to be in the fan club your voice should be heard louder than the others so I listen to what they have to say and they really give me good advice and good support over the years..."

Ready "2" Top the Charts
Well, fellow Dierks fans, this is the week we've been waiting for. The week we push "Am I the Only One" to NUMBER ONE!
On the current charts, "Am I the Only One" is #2 on both Mediabase and Billboard. On Billboard, it currently holds about a 1.5 million audience lead over "Remind Me" from Brad Paisley/Carrie Underwood. Though "Remind Me" is gaining at a slightly faster rate than "AITOO," Dierks should have enough of a jump to carry him to #1 by the time the chart runs on Sunday.
On Mediabase, it's a similar story. Dierks held a 615-point advantage over "Remind Me" when the chart ran on Sunday, and his advantage has been increasing ever-so-slightly each day so far this week. Hopefully, he'll be able to hold off Brad and Carrie through Sunday to snag his 8th #1 hit!
My Twitter feed has been FULL of tweets from dedicated DBC reps tweeting their local radio stations to play the song - keep it up! I got a shoutout from my fave DJ last night because I tweeted how much I loved my "AITOO" car dance as he played it. With Dierks doing a round of radio interviews this week, it's a great chance to contact your local stations any way you can to tell them to PLAY MORE DIERKS!
Unfortunately, I'll be taking inventory at work on Monday when the charts publish (the timing could NOT be more worse), but I should know about Mediabase on Sunday evening - I'll keep you all posted!
C'mon, c'mon get your NUMBER ONE on!
EDIT: This is what I woke up to! Just have to keep it there through Sunday!
Yay! Congrats to our Prez, and thanks to all of you who requested and drove your DJs crazy!

Dierks Bentley's New Album To Be Released February 2012
K102's Wake Up Crew (Muss and Donna) followed DB Congress on Twitter and tweeted us the link to their 8-minute interview with our prez-Dierks Bentley. He talks about the Sugarland stage collapse, Blake and Miranda's wedding and the fact that the new album won't be released until next February--2012!
"I have another single I really want to put out before I release the record...kinda wanna put out two songs that kinda reflect both sides of me and my music...one that's up tempo, fun and just a rowdy party song, and this next one called "Home" speaks a lot about current events and our country and it's a really special song to me, and I want to wait until it has a chance to do well at radio before we put out the album, so it's gonna be February."Well, Dierks, if we can get "Home" to #1 before February, will you release the album sooner? We can do it, right, congress?
Country & Cold Cans Tour Announced
Thanks to The Green Room PR, we have some info about a Dierks Bentley fall tour!
Multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley will kick off the first leg of his Contry & Cold Cans Tour beginning Oct. 6 in Lacrosse, WI. Special guests Jerrod Niemann and Eli Young Band will open for Bentley on the 22 city run that wraps up in Denver, CO on Nov. 19. Fan club members can purchase tickets for the first date beginning tomorrow (Aug 16) at Dierks.com, while tickets for the general public will go on sale this Fri., August 19 through Ticketmaster. Additional tour dates will be announced over the coming weeks.
"It's been a killer summer playing festivals all over the country and partying with the most die-hard country music fans out there," say Bentley. "We're going to crank up the 'Country & Cold Cans' tour in the Fall and keep it going. I can't imagine that I'll have to convince Jerrod or EYB to have a cold beer or two...they are always up for the party."
Bentley's current hit "Am I The Only One" is just a notch away from taking the top spot on the country single chart. Bentley is currently in the studio finishing up his sixth Capitol Nashville studio album.I can't help but think that present company are a large part the die-hard fans DB is referencing! He doesn't have to convince us to keep it going and have a cold beer either! Jerrod and EYB are sure to be a fantastic addition to the party... Be sure to keep checking Dierks.com for new dates.

Chicago DJ's Get Dierks to Fess Up: New Single & MM4K
Dierks knows how to get people excited without actually coming right out and saying "what" it is. Listen as he talks to Chicago DJs Ramblin Ray and Lisa from US99.5, where he gives big hints about bringing Miles and Music For Kids to Chicago, and he talks about the new single: "Home."
"I want fans to have two songs to kinda check out from this record before they make the decision to go buy it...it's called, Home. It's about our country...its a great song, hopefully it will move people in a really good way. So we have a party song (Am I The Only One) and a patriotic song to check out before you buy the record."
Listen here.
A Great Bluegrass Debate
My Biggest beef with the show is that bluegrass- a major influence on Bentley (he says) and the basis for his 2010 album "Up on The Ridge"- was given such an obligatory treatment. Mid-show, the band brought out the upright bass, mandolin, fiddle, and banjo, but rather than rip through two or three or four songs from "Ridge", they aimed straight for the lowest common denominator. They did the title track (and single) from the record, then used a "late-night jam session on the bus" construct to do a medley of familiar tunes, bluegrass style: the "Dukes of Hazzard" theme, "All My Exes live in Texas", Billy idol's "Rebel Yell", Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive", and then a cover of U2's "Pride (in the Name of Love)" that was on the "Ridge" album.
People seemed to dig it- the "Dukes" theme, Billy Idol, and Bon Jovi tickled their nostalgia bones, no doubt- but it turned me off. In fact, I thought it bordered on disrespectful to a style that Bentley claims to hold dear to his heart (and I believe him). Think about it: Rather then showcase their chops and the genre they love by actually playing bluegrass songs, it was as is if the band feared losing the audience by playing bluegrass, so it chose to do its most accessible origin, one serious cover, and a bunch of half-jokey songs before scurrying back to the party country folks came to hear.
That's not honoring bluegrass music. That's just kind of weak. And I truly believe Dierks Bentley is better than that.
The blog features a review of the rest of the show in Oregon. Here's the Link.
For those of you who haven't seen the bluegrass portion of the show (or who want to see it again), here's a video I shot in Westbury, NY. Keep in mind, I'm not a professional ;-)
Iraq War Veteran Comes a Little Closer to His Wife
DB performs at Rimrock Auto Arena in MT |
Dierks' shows hold special meaning for so many fans, but for a couple in Montana, one particular DB song created a night they won't soon forget.
About 6,600 other fans also danced at that show. To read the full review, Click Here.
It's true that Dierks may not know the impact he can have on a fan's life from up on stage, but it's nice for us as fans to hear a great story about how DB music can help someone through even the toughest of times.
Thank you, Ryan Smith, for your service. And thank you, Dierks Bentley, for bringing us all together!

During his second tour in Iraq, there was only one thing that got Ryan Smith through the loneliness of being away from his wife and son- music.
"It's the only thing that got me through a lot of long, long nights" Smith, 32, said.
On Saturday night, Smith and his wife, Heather, 31, were able to listen to the artist he listened to most- Dierks Bentley- in the flesh at Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark. Bentley is one of the headliners for MontanaFair.
His song, "Come a Little Closer" is also the Smith's song. After coming home last year, the Smith's have been looking forward to dancing to it together, and not they could do it live.
"If it wasn't for my wife and son, I'd be over there right now," Smith said. "I was born a soldier. But I got through with all my arms and legs and toes, which is good because we'll be dancing."
About 6,600 other fans also danced at that show. To read the full review, Click Here.

DB shows some love for Canada
Dierks performs in Regina, Saskatchewan |
For those die-hard Bentley fans in attendance, and it appeared there were thousands in that category, the 15-song, 75-minute set certainly met their expectations. It was obvious that Bentley was enjoying the evening and he wasn't shy about chatting up the audience. A frequent visitor to Canada from the early days of his career, Bentley admitted he still gets nervous going through customs.
"Going through customs is always interesting...Even though I've been up here lots, I still get a little nervous...so when they asked me today, 'What are you doing up here?' I told them I was coming to play some country music and drink some cold beer."Bentley also provided another reason he enjoys coming to Canada.
"It's nice to be in a part of the world where I can admit I'm a hockey fan and a hockey player and not have the people look at me like I've got three heads."To read the full article, click here.
It appears that Dierks' ice-loving Canadian fans make him feel right at home when he travels north of the border, eh!

Feature DB Congress Rep of the Week: Shelley From Oklahoma
The first time I heard Dierks on the radio, he was singing, "Come A Little Closer." I thought to myself, "Wow, listen to that gorgeous, raspy voice!" Right then, I was completely hooked! I love how Dierks has that little raspy-ness in his voice, but totally smooth all at the same time!
I've been around music my whole life and there's just something about 'that kind of voice' that will melt me every single time! So, I ran out and bought every CD that Dierks had out on the market! As I listened to more of his music, I realized just how many of his songs related to different situations in my life. An artist can 'sound great' singing/playing music, but a true artist can open others up to 'feel' their story.
For example, when I heard "Come A Little Closer," I could 'feel' what he was singing about because I was missing my husband (of 15 years now) so badly, but due to his occupation, he was having to live more than 4 hours away. But still yet, I could 'feel' the longing to be close to my husband, through this song. There are SO many songs that Dierks has recorded that I can relate like that to. He can speak to you through his lyrics and make you 'feel' his music all at the same time....thus making a true artist.
I was so completely overwhelmed by him and his music that I told myself, next time he's either in Oklahoma or a neighboring state, I've GOT to go see his show! Well, that time finally came and my husband had gotten to move back home. So both of us went! We drove 6-7 hours to Winfield, Kansas to see Dierks! We got lost in OKC and lost time trying to get to his show!
We finally made it but we were still running about 45 minutes later than what we wanted to be! Not only this, but there was a huge mix-up with some meet & greets, so the coordinator said he would make sure we were taken care of! So he tells me if I could make it to a certain area of the show grounds within 15-20 minutes, he would get us in to meet Dierks. We missed him by 5-10 minutes! Talk about heartbreaking! BUT, since we didn't make it in time, the coordinator let us in Dierks show VIP, right next to the catwalk!
I was absolutely star-struck and I was next to Heaven that night! I had my husband back home and we were together watching Dierks in concert for the first time in reach of the stage! WOW! I cried because I had such a dynamic night! Got lots of pics and my husband and I even rode a mechanical bull that night. So now, every time we hear Dierks singing "Feel That Fire" we get really tickled!
I didn't get a hi-5 from Dierks that night, but I did at the next show we went to in Tulsa at 'The Joint/Hard Rock Cafe" last November! I'll never forget it! Dierks was singing the second chorus of "Settle For A Slowdown" going into the bridge of the song! That might not sound like a big deal to most, but to a girl from the country in southeast Oklahoma, that's a REALLY big deal!
I love being part of the DB Congress because I feel like I'm more in touch of what's going on in Dierks' career. I admire his honesty and respect his family values! I've seen and heard a lot of celebrities 'state their view' on different values & morals, but not very many actually live by them! I can tell, Dierks lives by his values. Just another reason why I truly adore him! Family is everything! I guess that's why "My Last Name" makes me cry every time!
I really hope one day my husband & I will be able to actually meet Dierks! But until then, I will keep jammin' and claiming "Its' a Dierks Day!" and keep on lovin' me some Dierks--Okie-style! Can't wait for the next CD release!
Thanks again DB Congress for listing me on your website as a rep from Oklahoma! I promise to ALWAYS promote Dierks Bentley and keep his music alive!
