Harris Family Breaks into Singing News Top 80

ASADENA, TX – August 22, 2009 – The Harris Family broke through at #64 on the Singing News Top 80 chart for September 2009. The song, “Testify”, is the debut single from the group’s latest CD entitled Rescued. Sue Harris of the group says, “We were honestly taken by complete surprise when we heard that Testify made the Singing News Chart. We knew that the song was doing well in certain pockets of the country, but had no idea that it was gaining national attention.” Sue continued, “We released the song through Radioactive Airplay and handled our own radio promotions, so this was truly a God thing. He alone gets all the praise and glory for the song’s success.”

“Testify” was written by noted songwriters Chris Binion and Jerry Kelso. “We just feel so blessed that Chris and Jerry allowed us to record this song”, says Sue. “We knew it was a great song and are thrilled to learn that others agree. It has been getting a great response from audiences and that has been very encouraging to us.” DJs and Radio Program Directors can download the song at www.radioactiveairplay.com.

RAA’s Charles Brady noted that the release had a strong showing among the DJ’s and PD’s when released on RadioActive Airplay in May. “The song debuted in the Top 20 of the RAA Real Time DJ Charts and spent several weeks in the Top 10 climbing as high as Number 3 on the Radioactive Airplay’s Weekly Top 100 Chart in May. We knew with this kind of response and a solid effort by the group that it would certainly gain them some national and international exposure for the song. RAA was thrilled to see an independent recording artist see this level of success with their song on multiple national and international charts. More importantly are the thousands of listeners around the world that have had the chance to be blessed by the song on radio!”
