Nashville, TN (February 19, 2013) – The Band Perry is at the top with “Better Dig Two,” taking the #1 spot on the Billboard Country Chart for a second consecutive week and also making the ascend to #1 on Mediabase. “Better Dig Two” has also rooted itself in the #1 spot on both Nielsen BDS Canada Country National Airplay and Mediabase Canada Country Airplay charts for the second consecutive week, showing the staying power of The Band Perry's first #1 single in that country. The fastest-rising single of their career has sold over one million copies and also marks the sibling trio’s third chart-topper.
