SHARON CORR THE BIGGEST CLIMBER IN UK AIRPLAY

Sharon Corr's 'It's Not A Dream' has hit the UK Airplay Top 50. The fastest climber in the UK this week, by some distance, the record moved from No.315 last week to No.41 – with a further surge likely next week.

"Getting A-listed by BBC Radio Two was a huge breakthrough," one UK radio insider told Hot Press. "The likelihood now is that a lot of the regional stations will follow, and so I'd expect that momentum to continue next week."

Corr has been doing promotion around the regional stations, and in the process further winning hearts and minds.
"Sharon will make a big impression," the source added. "She has a lovely personality and is very warm – and that comes across. From my own experience, it makes a big difference to people on the ground in radio, if you put the work in."

Other big climbers this week are Pixie Lott with 'Boys and Girls' (up from 20 to 9), Daniel Merriweather's 'Impossible' (up from 39 to 15), Little Boots' 'Remedy' (up from 47 to 22) and Mika's 'We Are Golden' (up from 60 to 26). The current No.1 is Black Eyed Peas' 'I Gotta Feeling'. Sharon Corr is the only Irish artist currently in the airplay Top 50.
