Today, Battistelli's music video for "Free to be Me" was chosen to be AOL Music's "Video of the Day" (http://music.aol.com). Adding to the huge coverage, her song "It's Your Life" is currently being featured in the promo for ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and also was featured on Tuesday's episode of NBC's "Biggest Loser."

"Free to be Me" continues to capture top airplay on radio stations nationwide, hitting the top spot on both CHR and AC Indicator. Additionally, "Free to be Me" is the first #1 single from a female at AC since 2005.
