It's Barry Manilow week all over again.
Just as he did for his CD releases of "Greatest Songs of the Fifties" and "Greatest Songs of the Sixties," the Palm Springs-based icon will begin a media blitz this week to launch his latest CD, "Greatest Songs of the Seventies."
The Arista album isn't due in stores until Sept. 18, but Manilow will preview it on QVC from 2-3 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. Sunday on "Q Sessions Live With Barry Manilow." QVC shoppers may order the dual disc, including a "Making of the Album" video, and receive a bonus CD of six Manilow tracks performed acoustically.
Manilow's QVC appearance last year marked the highest single-hour sales event in the multi-media retailer's 20-year history. More than 43,000 units of "The Greatest Songs of the Sixties" were ordered, leading up to the largest sales week of Manilow's career.
Manilow is ranked by R&R (Radio & Records) as the top adult contemporary artist of all time with worldwide sales exceeding 75 million.
