"SURFERS PARADISE" which follows the Australian-born pop star's 2012 debut, "PARADISE" rocketed into the top 5 on the iTunes Stores' "Top Pop Albums" chart within hours of its pre-order getting underway. Among the collection's many highlights are collaborations with Asher Roth (on "Imma Be Cool") and the one and only Ziggy Marley ("Love"). "SURFERS PARADISE" is streaming now exclusively at www.codysimpson.com/blog/listen-cody-simpson-s-surfers-paradise-album-737111.

Hailed by Billboard as a "happy-go-lucky...summer anthem," "Pretty Brown Eyes" has immediately proven one of Simpson's biggest hits thus far. The track is currently scoring at Top 40 radio outlets nationwide, after proving yet another Radio Disney favorite for the massively popular young artist. The "Pretty Brown Eyes" companion video has also just been added to Fuse's "Pop Hits" rotation, with frequent play continuing on both MTV Hits and TeenNick. The clip directed by Cameron Duddy (Bruno Mars, Cee Lo Green, P!nk) is already an unqualified Youtube smash, drawing close to 6.5 million views and counting at Cody's official Youtube channel, www.youtube.com/user/CodySimpsonMusic.

Simpson also recently unveiled the latest track/video from "SURFERS PARADISE," "Summertime of Our Lives." The tender beach ballad's companion video directed by acclaimed Toronto filmmakers The Young Astronauts has quickly earned over 1 million views at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA0wb6E3hyg.

Simpson has spent much of the past year on the road, including his currently ongoing North American headline tour which comes to NYC's Best Buy Theater, with a sold out show, this Thursday, July 18th and is set to wrap July 20th at Boston's House of Blues. From there, Cody will rejoin Justin Bieber's world-conquering Believe Tour for a series of sold out shows in such cities as Toronto, Detroit, Newark, Brooklyn, Jacksonville, Tampa, Atlanta, and Washington, DC.
