Pop group Hedley make a welcome return to the charts as their new single, “Kiss You Inside Out,” hits the Hot AC Top 40 this week while their video logs in over 1.2 million views on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksrFRkA8J4w). Dubbed “swooningly romantic” by CBS radio, “Kiss You Inside Out” jumps up to #36, nestled between hits from Nicki Minaj and John Mayer. Already a top 5 hit across multiple formats in their native Canada, (including #1 on their AC Audience chart), the song marks the second stateside hit for the band following their Top 20 smash, “Perfect.” Beginning in late September, Hedley will perform at a number of radio-sponsored concert events throughout the US.
In other news, the band has partnered with CanvasPop to run an exclusive contest, inviting fans to post their very own “Kiss You Inside Out” inspired photos on Instagram. The winning photo will receive a CanvasPop print signed by the band. The contest starts September 4th and concludes September 16th. CanvasPop is the web’s most innovative provider of custom, high-quality canvas art printing services, empowering everyday customers, photographers, digital artists, and interior designers to create their own gallery-quality images on canvas — including Instagram prints and Facebook photos.

Hedley have released four consecutive double-platinum albums in Canada and their songs have been downloaded more than 1,500,000 times. Their last 12 videos all hit #1 on Canada’s MuchMusic and they have received 2 JUNO awards and 15 nominations. As one of Canada’s most popular touring acts, they’ve sold out countless arena shows and performed at the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
