THE DARKNESS GROWING ON THE US CHARTS!
THE DARKNESS have started their assault on the US charts, making their first
appearance in the Top 100 as the highest climbing album of the week.
'Permission To Land' hit the Number One spot in the UK during the summer
2003, and in this week jumped from 173 to 92 in the Billboard chart
Stateside.
The spandex rockers have started promoting the album in the US, explaining
its climb up the charts.As previously reported on NME.COM, The Darkness are
also trying to break the notoriously hard American market through computer
games.
Tracks from the band's 'Permission To Land' are to be used on the soundtrack
for the 2004 instalment of the hugely successful John Madden Football
series - a move which could prove make or break for the band's US fortunes.
