A lot of people think that “Seven Mile Breakdown,” the video by Taylor Hicks, is worth watching—actually almost 120,000.
*UPDATE 6.27.09: a very impressive 163,788 and still No. 1!
The country rock romp that captures a new side of Taylor Hicks and brings a California hilltop to life has grabbed the Number One spot on MuVids Top 200 List of videos! MuVids.com is touted as the home of the “latest and hottest music videos online.”
Although “Seven Mile Breakdown” was added to the country genre on MuVids.com, it has reached the top place in the site’s Top 200 List. It beat out the pop favorites Pussy Cat Dolls, The Black Eyed Peas and Lady GaGa. And it is the only video from the country music genre in the Top Ten.
It is also the Number One music video on the site’s Country Music Top Ten List ranking above some very impressive country music stars.

“Seven Mile Breakdown” premiered on the MuVids website in May, 2009, when it was released as the second single by Taylor from his current album, The Distance, out on his own recording label, Modern Whomp Records.
The song is making its mark also. With impressive back up from members of Eric Clapton’s band, the delta- blues- gone- Nashville- rock tune, sits comfortably on the Country Music Chart at No. 30.
“Seven Mile Breakdown” takes country rock to the West Coast where the video was shot in Ojai, California, and created by Portland, Oregon, film maker, Spence Nicholson. Taylor arrives on scene in the classic of classic cars, a red and white Corvette and gives a free-spirited performance of “Seven Mile Breakdown” for a select group of music lovers. It’s a long way from the Mississippi delta where the song was written years ago by Taylor and fellow musician, Wynn Christian.
“Seven Mile Breakdown” is the second music video by Taylor Hicks. His first single release, “What’s Right is Right,” from The Distance was created for screen by New York videographer, Jake Davis.
This is a fun video with the charm of pretty girls, the outstanding vocals of Taylor Hicks, and a California dreaming location. How could it NOT be Number One!
It IS a must see. So, put the top down and get on out there.

Saw that the other night, what wonderful news. He is making an impression with country by taking the number one spot. Hope this will result in more airplay for him. It is such a great song and he performs it with such spirit. Every time I hear him sing the song he just seems to enjoy performing it, alwsys a big smile on his face.

While "Seven Mile Breakdown" is making its mark on muVids.com , "What's Right is Right" is also listed in the Pop catagory. Do What's Right ,
Breakdown and listen to both of Taylor's videos on muvids.com.
When SMB remains on the front page of muvids, there is a better chance that non-Taylor fans will see it.
Seven Mile Breakdown plays whenever anyone goes onto muvids............
How wonderful is that?????!!!!!
For the past 3 weeks I have been hearing WRIR on one of the largest AC station's out of NY 106.7litefm. It seems to be on their playlist now as all the times I have heard it is during one of their full music hours, which is not requests. Have also heard SMB on a couple of country station out of Pa. Slow and steady I think he will do well with TD. There are other songs on the CD that would be radio friendly also.

Ha! Well, I'm still learning about this blogger thing. I saw a typo in my comment and all I could do was delete it. Now, here's this big notice that it was deleted! Okay, I'll try again. Hope I can get it right this time!
Thanks for your comments. I was very excited when I saw this list and on the same site, the Top Ten Country List which he tops also.
I hope that Taylor Hicks on the top of a list like this will make people sit up and take notice and he will get more radio play. It is a slow and steady ride, Jersey! And this is definitely reaching nonTaylor fans, Cath. Like he has said, "One fan at a time."
