Katy Perry Leads the Pack but Lil Wayne Comes Up Big on the June Ecast BarPulse

NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Ecast) - Ecast zeros in on the start of the summer hit parade, reflecting the choices of consumers when they are not at home.

The June Ecast BarPulse starts off with Capitol Records' international sensation Katy Perry taking the lead with her saucy track "I Kissed a Girl." Another trend apparent this month was the dominant performance of Hip Hop superstar Lil Wayne. His album "Tha Carter III" has already gone platinum and scored him five of the top ten plays on this latest ranking of the top played new music across the Ecast broadband media network in over 10,000 bars and nightclubs across the country.

The hit charts, including Ecast's June BarPulse, prove that Lil Wayne remains a crowd favorite at home, in the car and in the club. The remainder of the June BarPulse reflects Ecast's audience diversity, with country, adult- alternative and British soul revival rounding things out. Taking the No 6 slot, Sugarland's "All I Want to Do," is stoking anticipation for the band's upcoming album.
