CMT-Backed Carter Twins Reach 1 Million Plays with Debut Country Single on MySpace

Posted by Lisa L. Rollins Apr 29, 2009

In just three months, Nashville’s newest duo, the Carter Twins, continue to impress by reaching 1 million plays on MySpace with the brothers’ debut single, “Heart Like Memphis,” which was released digitally and to radio in February.

The CMT-backed newcomers, age 19, have managed to notch some 25,000 downloads in just three months, according to an April 28, 2009, press release, and also landed in the the top 15 most-dedicated songs via iLike across all genres on Facebook, where the Carters are one of just three country acts in the top 50, according to iLike.

But it doesn’t stop there for the young men, whom many have likened as being country-pop’s answer to The Jonas Brothers. It seems their freshman single also recently debuted at No. 58 on the BDS/R&R country chart and is yielding radio airplay in major country markets such as Tampa, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami and Providence. (The Carter Twins are also the lone country act on SayNow’s Top 20 chart, for those making a list of the twins’ chart-related accomplishments.)

In other Carter news of the musical persuasion, brothers Josh and Zach—who will unveil their debut CD sometime this summer—helped kick off the 10th Annual Country Music Marathon in Nashville by singing the National Anthem to 35,000 runners, the later, post-race, performed for marathon participants in the Country Music Marathon Post Race Concert held at Nashville’s Sommet Center.

The Carter Twins next single, a track dubbed "So What," is set to debut on iTunes on May 12.
