It is the number one most added track at Contemporary Hit Radio, the number two most added track at Rock Radio and the number four most added track at Pop Adult Radio. Believe In You is at #8 on the Pop Adult Radio chart after 25 weeks!!

- Today I purchased tickets to Amanda's June 10th show in Montreal. I called a minute or two before the tickets went on sale, and a very nice lady let me stay on the line in order to get the first tickets as soon as they became available. Unfortunately I missed front row center tickets by a few seconds, but I'm still very happy with my second row center seats! If anyone has an extra backstage pass or two, I am dying to meet Amanda.

- I have recently been sent photos from the press release Sony Music Canada created to announce the upcoming release of Amanda Marshall's new album "Tuesday's Child". The photos are too large to place on this site, except for the possible cover photo for the album, which I placed in the "Tuesday's Child" section of the site. The press release detailed the intense promotion that is going to happen about the album. The album will be advertised on television, magazines (including major ads in TV Guide and The Record), billboards, movie theaters, radio, and every other place imaginable. Many radio stations are scheduled to hold contests, in which they will give away signed copies of the album, prior to it's release. There will be a short cross-Canada tour the week the album is released, which will mostly include radio interviews, as well as television performances on such shows as Canada AM and Mike Bullard. Amanda will also embark on a 15 city, cross-Canada concert tour in June. Two videos (including "Love Lift Me") have been recorded, and will be broadcast on MuchMusic, MusiquePlus, MusiMax and MuchMoreMusic soon. The official Amanda Marshall webpage will be updated soon with new photos, sound clips, and more. This was a very interesting press release, and if anyone has an extra print copy, I would love to get a copy of it. E-mail me, if you can help.

- The video shoot for Amanda's new single "Love Lift Me" was recently featured on MuchMusic's "RapidFax" hourly news segment. Unfortunately, I missed the broadcast, but it supposedly also included a short interview with Amanda about her new album "Tuesday's Child".

- You can now pre-order Amanda Marshall's new album "Tuesday's Child" from CDNow!! The CD is available as a Canadian import item, and will probably be shipped on May 25th 1999 - the Canadian and European release date. This is almost a month before the rest of the world!!

- Amanda has recently completed a video shoot for her new single "Love Lift Me" in downtown Kitchener, Ontario. Kitchener may have been chosen as a location because of it's old buildings, including a church, a barber shop and a few older houses. The video also includes ALOT of confetti!! Watch out for the video on Canadian music video stations soon!

- Amanda's new single "Love Lift Me" will be available in Australian stores on June 14th, 1999. No news has been announced about the track listing, or whether it will be available in North America as an import. Go to the Key Mailorder website to order the CD.
