6/5/2008 Webb New country cross-over artist Jessica Simpson made Country Music chart history this week with her brand new single, “Come On Over,” which debuted at the No. 41 spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.  Racking up 2.1 million impressions at 67 monitored stations in just 5 short days, this marks the highest chart debut among a solo artist with no prior history on the country chart.    Written by Simpson, Rachel Proctor and Victoria Banks, “Come On Over,” is all about the excitement of a new crush.  “It’s about that feeling you get when just can't wait to see the person you’re crushing on,” says Simpson.  “You feel like you're going to burst if you can't see them right then and there.”   This fun, up-tempo record is from Simpson’s highly anticipated debut country album due out this fall.    Now talk about excitement… Simpson is thrilled to be coming on over to Nashville’s CMA Music Festival this week where she’ll be signing autographs for fans and visiting radio.
