COLLIN RAYE RELEASES NEW CONCEPT ALBUM WITH "SELECTED HITS"


(Nashville, TN) - The new Collin Raye "SELECTED HITS" album is unique in 
that it contains six great songs and is available exclusively at Wal-Mart 
stores for under $6. In addition to two new songs ("A Soldier's Prayer" and 
the equally powerful "Quitters") the album contains four of Collin's biggest 
hits ("That's My Story," "Little Rock," "I Think About You" and "Love Me" ) 
all recorded "live" with the Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra in front of an 
audience of 8000 who sang along. It is first time that live recordings of 
these have been available and there is a six-minute interview with Collin as 
a bonus feature.

Produced by Alabama's Teddy Gentry and Michael Curtis, Raye believes this 
new CD is the wave of the future. "People can purchase this CD for less than 
they can download these songs and they get to hear me talk about the songs, 
their origins and special qualities as well," says Collin.

JOHN BERRY PLANS A 'CLASSIC CHRISTMAS TOUR'

Following his current U.S. tour, John Berry will begin his holiday ritual of 
spreading Christmas cheer. Berry hits the road each year for an impressive 
tour of cities on his annual Christmas tour. This is the 12th consecutive 
year for Berry's holiday tour, which showcases the reason he's been tagged 
"Mr. Christmas." Many fans have said, "It's not Christmas until I've heard 
John Berry sing 'O Holy Night.'"

The country star will launch his holiday outing on November 16 with a 
performance in Lake City, Fla., at the Alfonso Levy Performing Arts Center. 
From there, he'll move on to several cities in the Southeast and travel 
through the Midwest through December 22. Tickets for many shows are 
currently on sale. The full itinerary is listed below.

In addition to touring, Berry recently released a new single, his first new 
music in almost three years. "A Woman Like You," written by Tim Nichols and 
Craig Wiseman, is currently climbing the charts. "A Woman Like You" is the 
first single from his 20th studio album, "Those Were The Days." The album 
will be released on Berry's own Clear Sky Records, in conjunction with radio 
promotion veteran Larry Pareigis' Nine North records.

The Georgia tenor has been recognized by the Grammys, the Academy of Country 
Music and the Country Music Association as a nominee in the Best Male 
Vocalist category. Berry's first No. 1 was the hit single "Your Love Amazes 
Me." During this career with Capitol Records, Berry hit the top of the 
charts and the top ten a number of times with such hits as  "She's Taken A 
Shine," "Standing On The Edge of Goodbye,"  "I Think About It All The Time" 
and "Kiss Me In The Car," just to name a few.

ARISTOMEDIA RELEASES 2007 ANNUAL VIDEO REPORTS
Status of Country and Christian Video Outlets Examined


(Nashville, Tennessee - September 25, 2007) AristoMedia has released two 
comprehensive annual reports on "The Status of Country Video Outlets," and 
"The Status Of Christian Video Outlets." The detailed reports provide 
in-depth reviews of all available video outlets to the country and Christian 
music industries. 2007 marks the release of the 24th annual country video 
report.  The company maintains the data as part of its on-going tracking and 
research efforts in music video marketing.  Both reports are available for 
download from the AristoMedia website at www.aristomedia.com/reports.




Jeff Walker, President of AristoMedia comments, "We live in a time of 
expanded visual marketing for artists at all levels.  Online exposure for 
music video content is at an all time high, thanks to increased broadband 
penetration, and a corresponding increase in the number of music portals."




The reports include synopses of national cable outlets, nationally 
syndicated broadcast shows, multi-regional shows and closed circuit outlets 
as well as the rapidly increasing cohort of international and online 
opportunities.




The Country report highlights the fact that there are now five national 
cable opportunities for country music with CMT, GAC, CMT Pure, GMC and Music 
Choice reaching more than 100 million households nationwide.  International 
expansion also continues, including 24-hour channels CMT in Canada and CMC 
in Australia. It is available for download at www.aristomedia.com.




The Christian report highlights the various outlets by sub-genre.  It also 
details the cable networks and national regional television opportunities 
that exist for Christian clips.  This report can be downloaded at 
AristoMedia's dedicated Christian website www.aristovision.com .


Video streaming on websites such as YouTube, MySpace and AOL Music has 
significantly increased worldwide audience reach.  Video pool and 
closed-circuit outlets, which reach viewers in entertainment and retail 
locations, have also increased.  The reports examine the growth for both 
formats.


AristoMedia is a division of Aristo Music Group, a Nashville, 
Tennessee-based company established in 1980 specializing in entertainment 
PR, radio promotions, new media, dance club projects and video clip 
marketing.  It has often been described as a "one-stop shop" for independent
