Cingular Sounds Gets 'Jacked Up' With Gretchen Wilson

(andPOP) - If you're a Gretchen Wilson fan, you better make sure you're getting a lot of calls on your cell phone. That's the only way you'll be able to hear the country star's newest single, "All Jacked Up," before the song finally hits radio and retail outlets in the fall.

The tune is the title track off Wilson's new album, which won't go on sale until September 27. But Cingular Wireless customers can now download a 30-second clip of the song as a ringtone for $2.49 through the company's Cingular Sounds project.

"The launch of leading country artist Gretchen Wilson solidifies our leadership within wireless entertainment and builds on the momentum and diversity of our past artists," said John Burbank, vice president of marketing, Cingular Wireless. "This announcement introduces our first exclusive country music artist into the Cingular Sounds family, helping expand our wireless music content."

Cingular Sounds was launched in April, and it specializes in offering ringtones of popular songs either in advance of or simultaneous with the track?s release in other formats. The first artist to take part in the program was Coldplay, with their huge single ?Speed of Sound.? The band?s new album, ?X&Y? went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 Chart and is currently still going strong in the top five.
