According to Nielsen SoundScan, the self-titled CD has scanned an average of 16,000 units each week and remained inside the top 12 on the Top 75 Country Albums Chart since its release in April. The CD enjoyed the best first week sales and highest Top 200 debut for any new male country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. The first single, "A Different World," is currently No. 7 on the Billboard chart. Bucky has toured heavily this year, but is set to take a brief break from touring with a visit to Idol Camp in Northfield, Mass. At Idol Camp, a summer camp for aspiring performers ages 12-15, Bucky, a former American Idol finalist, will participate in a question-and-answer session. He'll also perform for the attendees.
