Multi-platinum pianist, songwriter and performer Jim Brickman has proven once again that he knows his way around a hit song. His latest single is a light-hearted Christmas song aptly named "Fa La La" and has made an impressive showing this week on the airwaves – landing at #16 on the AC Radio charts and at #13 on the Christmas Radio charts. The success in nothing new for Brickman who continues to take radio by storm with more charted hits than any other artist in his format (30) including "Valentine", "The Gift" and "Simple Things" just to name a few. Jim sailed past his A-list competition this week with the impressive chart placement – beating out the likes of Katy Perry and Rihanna for a spot in the Top 20 on the AC charts and acquiring more adds than teen sensation Justin Bieber. "Fa La La" was also the third most added song this week behind two songs by crooner Michael Buble. His brand new albums All is Calm and Romanza were released this month as Target exclusives and are available through the retailer nationwide or on iTunes.

Jim Brickman's signature style of playing and songwriting has delivered him six Gold and Platinum-selling albums, the most charted Adult Contemporary hits of the decade (30), two Grammy nods (in 2003 and 2009), two SESAC "Songwriter of the Year" awards, a Canadian Country Music Award and a Dove Award (presented by the Gospel Music Association). As if that weren't enough, he also hosts a weekly radio program syndicated to over 80 markets called Your Weekend With Jim Brickman, penned two bestselling books (Simple Things and Love Notes), supports many charitable foundations including UNICEF, Autism Speaks and Camp Heartland and has performed in countless impressive venues – including Carnegie Hall, the White House and standing room only concerts around the world.
