SIXPENCE LANDS SECOND HIT WITH "There She Goes"

NEW SINGLE CHARTS AT SEVERAL FORMATS

VH1, MTV, M2 AND THE BOX RESPOND IMMEDIATELY

PERFORMING ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO THIS THURSDAY, AUG. 26

30 CITY TOUR SET FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER

LOS ANGELES, CA--August 24, 1999--Squint Entertainment's Sixpence None the Richer has methodically defied notions of a sophomore jinx with their new multi-format hit, "There She Goes." Alternative and pop stations across America have immediately embraced the follow-up to "Kiss Me," while VH1, MTV, M2 and The Box are increasing the new video's airplay.

"There She Goes" is the second single from Sixpence's Grammy Nominated self-titled album, which was recently certified GOLD for selling over half a million copies. Sixpence introduced "There She Goes" to America on national television in July with a performance on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN. Letterman was so taken with the band that he insisted on a spontaneous interview with lead singer Leigh Nash. Sixpence and their new string section will follow-up this Thursday night (August 26) with an appearance on THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO.

"There She Goes" was most added the last two weeks in a row by R&R's Hot AC stations, and secured most added and most increased spins at Billboard Monitor's Top 40. With the immediate response "There She Goes" quickly charted on several Billboard and R&R charts. The single jumps to #21 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart, while making its debut at #39 on the Top 40 chart. With R&R "There She Goes" hits #18 at Hot AC, #31 on the Pop/CHR chart, #24 at Adult Alternative and #49 on their Alternative chart.

In the world of television VH1 moves "There She Goes" up to medium rotation this week, while "Kiss Me" remains in the network's Top 10. Meanwhile, MTV's 120 MINUTES, M2 and The Box have "There She Goes" in prominent rotation.

The instant response to "There She Goes" comes on the heels of the previous single's continuing success. Both "There She Goes" (#19) and "Kiss Me" (#17) are currently in the Top 20 of Billboard Monitor's Modern AC chart. Serviced to radio over a year ago, "Kiss Me" is also a staple on several other charts, including a #34 spot on Billboard's Hot 100, #6 at Top 40 and #9 on their Adult Top 40 chart. The song has been on The Hot 100 for 30 weeks in a row, longer than any other song currently charting. In their August 14 issue, a Billboard article cited Sixpence's Matt Slocum as the #5 most successful songwriter on The Hot 100 this year--an achievement based solely on "Kiss Me's" impact. Of the more than 15 countries in which "Kiss Me" has been released, the song has hit the Top 10 in virtually every one, recently becoming the #1 most played song in nine countries, including Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia and Israel.

Having joined the entire West Coast leg of this year's Lilith Fair, Sixpence is now set to co-headline a 30 city tour with Better Than Ezra, beginning on September 15 in Philadelphia, and concluding in Miami on October 30.
