Bajan CoverDrive No.1 on Brit charts

(Barbados Nation) The Barbadian pop quartet CoverDrive went to No. 1 on the British singles charts Sunday with its track Twilight, which was only released last week.

The meteoric Twilight, confirmed as having jumped from No. 84 to No. 1 in a matter of days by Britain’s Official Charts Company, removed last week’s top-selling Brit singer/ songwriter Jessie J.

It marks an amazing feat for the group which signed a publishing deal with Sony and a recording deal with Geffen less than a year ago.

The group, ranging from age 18 to 23, comprises lead singer and lone female Amanda Reifer, drummer “T-Ray”, guitarist Barry “Bar Man” Hill and bassist Jamar Harding.
