Big D and Bubba and Dierks in the Studio

Watch Dierks Bentley and radio Ninjas Big D and Bubba in the studio as they talk about everything from the new album, (Home), the first time he heard himself on the radio, whether he likes vinyl, CDs or digital downloads and his pilot's license.


Do you remember the first time?



 
 
Vinyl or digital?

Dearpie replied to him: "It never hurts to ask! And the uncanny event of the day: As soon as I hit send, you played Sideways. At least we're on the same Dierks wavelength! ;) Have a great weekend!"

Funny how the smallest gesture can mean so much to us Dierks fans!

Leave comments below of your examples of your emails, tweets, texts, posts to your DJs to request Dierks and include their replies. You could win a prize!

SIDEWAYS #1 TWO WEEKS IN A ROW!

Dierks Bentley posted the above Twitpic on his Twitter page today, with the following caption..."sign outside of sony/tree publishing. a real honor. 2 weeks at #1 so far! thx Country Radio and Country Fans for making this happen! #fb"

Our pleasure, dude! Thank YOU for making great music!

Let's go for three consecutive weeks, congress! Call your DJs!

(EDIT by Chart Reporter Carrie!: Three weeks is looking good, guys! Based on audience size, Dierks has a virtual lock on the market. It's going to take something pretty drastic to knock him off -- Lady Antebellum's "I Run to You" should follow "Sideways" in two weeks, though. Keep up the great work!)

EDIT #2: Please enjoy Dierks' opening performance of Sideways at the CMT Music Awards:

SIDEWAYS STAYS AT #10

What is sure to be the seventh number one single for Dierks Bentley, Sideways, which landed in the top 10 on the BillBoard and Radio and Records charts last week, finds itself in the same spot again this week.

So, we've got our work cut out for us, DB Congress! Get those fingers on the phone and keyboard and tell your DJs not to play nothin' slow! Look like you came to rock! It's time to rally big time to blaze a trail with this campaign and leave #10 in the dust! Make your voices so loud you can't hear a thing but Sideways on the radio! Hey now here we go....gotta make all the listeners wanna call back for more Sideways on their radio!

The goal for next week...lucky #7! Let's make it happen!
