A wonderful end to 2025 for tracks from SPL's latest album 'No One Gets Out Alive. Track 'Rain Clouds in Opryland' was No 2 in the Coastal Breeze Top 40 and No 85 in the World Indie Network Chart Top 100. 'All Life Lies Here' (a JMA nominee this year) made No 2 in Germany's TFSC Chart. Meanwhile 'Heaven Doesn't Need Another Angel' was No 1 in the itisnow radio Top 40 and 'Tallahassee Sunday' was No 1 in Australia's Banks Radio Daily Chart. The icing on the cake was an interview with Christopher Brown from Marc Carey the Head of Deal Radio HQ.
