Taylor Hicks' What's Right Is Right enters the chart at 64, thanks in large part to play on KUMU-FM in Honolulu, Hawaii; WRSA-FM in Huntsville, Ala.; and WHLG-FM in Ft. Pierce, Fla.

Four stations, including KWAV-FM in Monterey-Salinas, Calif., spun Melinda Doolittle's It's Your Love, putting her at 81 in her first week.

How wonderful that those stations are giving Taylor airplay. I am so excited for him. I am going to call my stations this week and ask them to play him.

I am also happy to see Melinda Doolittle getting some airplay. I bought her cd today and it is as great as I thought it would be. In fact I am listening to it right now. Wow, this lady can sing. Gee, sure would love it if Taylor and Melinda got together for a duet. I could easily see them singing the classic "On My Own" originally done by Patti La Belle and Michael McDonald. Now, would that not be awesome!

:)

It's great that Taylor is already on the charts and at 64 so soon, I hope and pray that goes up and up and up..

Now I'm not the smartest chip in the bag so could someone tell me what the numbers after the songs mean??

:) Hey Sandi I'm with you on the numbers however I think after re-reading it a couple of times that the numbers mean how many times they played the song. If you notice at number one behind Kelly's name it says a number and also has the word spins behind that. I also hope it goes up and up.

Oh Ok, I wondered if that wasn't the number of times it had been played, if that's the case we have some work to do to get Taylor's up there ha,,, IT's ok he'll be noticed soon enough, and if not for this song wait until the world gets a listen to 19.. LOVE that song..

No kidding!!! Once the world hears 19 tears will flow. Taylor has sure done good this time. I'm so proud of him.

We as Taylor's fans have taken a beating in the last 3 years and we've stood by him come what may, but I think that this time the world will see what we've all already seen and come to realize just what Taylor Hicks has to offer. And boy is it way over due..

Amen. Our loyalty to Taylor as his fans has come full circle. Now we get the chance to sit back and watch as everyone else embraces this very talented man.
