ANITA BAKER'S 'LATELY' A HUGE HIT ON URBAN AC RADIO

Capital/Blue Note Records is reporting that Anita Baker’s latest release “Lately” has thus far been a huge success thanks to Urban Adult Contemporary (AC) Radio. Released digitally on August 7, 2012, "Lately" is the highest debut single on the Billboard Urban AC Chart for anyone in the last 15 years, landing at #10. In addition, Baker was the first recording artist ever to have an unprecedented premiere on Urban Adult Contemporary Radio for all Clear Channel stations. Venturing in newer territory still, Baker says Only Forever will probably be her last commercial record. Not because she’s quitting music completely, but because she wants to try slightly different genres. “I have a gospel album in me, a jazz album…[there are] other things I want to say, and I'll say them," she told the Boombox. Only Forever will arrive in stores October 23, 2012.

The single has garnered 55 adds in just this past week. Here is a listing of the stations that have picked up the single: WBLS (NYC), KJLH (Los Angeles), WSRB (Chicago), KBLX (San Francisco, CA), KRNB (Dallas), KMJQ (Houston, TX), WHUR (Washington DC), WRNB (Philadelphia), WDAS (Philadelphia), WMXD (Detroit), WHQT (Miami), WWIN (Baltimore), WFUN (St. Louis), KMJM (St. Louis), WBAV (Charlotte, NC), WQNC (Charlotte, NC), WZAK (Cleveland), WFXC (Raleigh), WKSA (Norfolk), WQMG (Greensboro, NC), WYLD (New Orleans, LA), KJMS (Memphis),WBHK (Birmingham, AL), KOKY (Little Rock), WHEN (Syracuse, NY), WLXC (Columbia, SC), WWDM(Columbia, SC), WDLT (Mobile, AL), WMGL (Charleston, SC), WWMG (Montgomery, AL), WKJS (Richmond, VA), WKSP (Augusta), WLVH (Savannah, GA), WDZZ (Flint, MI), KVMA (Shreveport, LA), WAKB (Augusta, GA), WROU (Dayton, OH), WXST (Charleston, SC), WWMG (Montgomery, AL), WKXI (Jackson, MS), WTLZ (Saginaw Bay, MI), WKZJ (Columbus, GA), KDKS (Shreveport, LA), WHRP (Huntsville, AL), WTUG (Tuscaloosa, AL), WMGU (Fayetteville, NC), KISX (Tyler, TX), Heart & Soul (Sirius), WMPZ (Chattanooga), WRBV (Macon, GA), WSBY (Salisbury, MD), WTTH (Atlantic City), WXMG (Columbus, OH), WTLC (Indianapolis), WRRX (Pensacola).
