Keepin' busy - go Zoë!

Well yes she certainly has! I'm talking about none ofther than our gorgeous Zoë Badwi.

A few weeks ago I blogged about her new single, Freefallin', landing in the ARIA top 100 singles chart - Zoë's first ever single to do so. Since then the track has bulleted up the charts and as of this week Freefallin' is currently sitting at #36 in ARIA's top 100 singles chart.

With her digital sales increasing across this week (Freefallin' currently sitting in the top 20 iTunes digital downloads), expect to see the smash hit take another massive jump up the charts.

To add to the success, last week Freefallin' pushed and shoved fellow Aussie Dirty South outta the top spot on the ARIA club chart - #1 baby! 

The single has been picked up by radio stations around the country, with Zoë doing interviews with the Nova and NovaNation teams nationally, which you can see/read all about on her Facebook page.

But wait - there's more. Zoë is finally starting to get the international success she deserves. Release Me has been repackaged in the UK (along with credits to the TV Rock boys) and is getting loads of air and club play there. Let's not forget the massive shows she has recently completed in the US (NYC and LA) in the last few weeks as well.

So, in case for some strange reason you are yet to purchase Freefallin' - do so now via iTunes here. Zoë is, wihtout a doubt, someone you'll be hearing a lot more of.
