// UNION ENTERS THE BILLBOARD TOP 100 ALBUMS CHART SELLS 10,000 COPIES WORLDWIDE IN A WEEK!
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Rebellion, we are very pleased to announce that our album UNION entered the official US Billboard Chart this week at #82! This is the first time ever that an unsigned artist has entered the US Top 100 on a digital release. A very sincere and heartfelt thank you to all our fans everywhere who bought the record. UNION reached the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Alternative Album Chart (knocking My Morning Jacket off the top spot), and broke into the iTunes US and UK Albums Chart Top 5 in less than 48 hours of release. Union also broke Top 20 at iTunes in Canada and in most other iTunes Albums Charts. As many of you are aware, the album was not eligible for the Official UK Albums Chart as we do not have a physical album in store. We hope theyll reconsider their eligibility rules on the back of all this.
// THE WEEK THAT WAS
The band have been talking about the week that was and their iTunes / Billboard success. Most of these interviews, including NME and BBC 6 Music, can be found via our official website front page.
Todd also appreared twice this weekend on Berlin's Radio Fritz (
http://www.fritz.de/) on both the Trackback and Unsigned shows. Radio Fritz have also playlisted Evacuate! Visit the website for more information.
UNION is also Album of the Week at Darker Radio (
http://www.darkerradio.com) for you German fans, whom we hope to see during our German Tour in April!
Also, our very own bassist extraordinaire Adam Harrison can be heard live on NME Radio (
http://www.nme.com/radio) joined by Steve Sutherland (former NME Editor) at 4pm GMT on Wednesday January 28th, where they will be reviewing current single releases from other bands. Were also happy to hear that NME Radio have put Evacuate onto their playlist.
