New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Roadrunner Records) -
Theory of A Deadman's latest single "
So Happy" has reached No 1 at Rock radio, a first in the band's history. "
So Happy" is the lead track on Scars & Souvenirs, released last week on Roadrunner Records. The album saw the band's highest Billboard Top 200 debut at No 26 and sold upwards of 21,000 copies its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The single remains top 20 at
Modern Rock.
Frontman Tyler Connolly had this to say about the feat, "Hitting number one feels so great! Not only are we so excited, but we are truly humbled that we have received such a great response for this song and our new record. Thank you to all the wonderful Theory supporters out there!"
Rock, Modern Rock and Active Rock formats jumped on board with "So Happy," upon its initial delivery in February. In addition to being the No 1 Most Added at Active Rock two weeks in a row, "So Happy" marked Theory's highest ever chart debut in the Top 25 with over 200 spins, making it the No 1 most increased song at the format. Mainstream Rock saw the track debut at No 27 with over 250 spins, another first for the band.
Scars & Souvenirs is the follow up to a very successful sophomore album cycle (Gasoline) that included the huge radio hits "Santa Monica," "No Surprise" and "Hello Lonely." The balanced 13-track effort is the polished and passionate testament to seven years of hard work, heavy touring and diligent attention to its craft. From the swirling grinds of "So Happy" to the soaring melodicism of "Not Meant To Be" and "By The Way," Scars & Souvenirs is a broad-reaching endeavor that puts singer/guitarist Tyler Connolly, guitarist Dave Brenner and bassist Dean Back high in the rock pantheon, achieving creative growth without sacrificing the hard-hitting power that got them here in the first place.
