New York (Top40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) - "Don't
Trust Me," the blockbuster hit single from Photo Finish recording duo 3OH!3, has hit No 1 on the new Mediabase Top 40 chart. The Boulder, Colorado-based electro duo will celebrate their No 1 success as headliners on the just-launched Vans Warped Tour (see itinerary below). This marks the second consecutive Vans Warped Tour for 3OH!3, whose live set was unquestionably among the 2008 festival's biggest crowd-pleasers. 3OH!3 - a.k.a.
Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman - will be among the cover stars featured on Alternative Press's upcoming Vans Warped Tour issue (August 2009).
"Don't Trust Me" has proven an across-the-board sensation, achieving RIAA platinum certification as it topped iTunes' "Top Alternative Songs" chart, while simultaneously rising up as a top 20 favorite on the comprehensive "Top Songs" tally. The infectious single is a multi-chart favorite, having hit the top 3 on Billboard's "Hot Digital Songs," the top 5 on "Pop 100 Airplay," and the Top 10 on Billboard's "Hot 100." The "Don't Trust Me" companion video clip remains a sales triumph, coming in as the week's No 2 "Top Alternative Music Video" on iTunes.
In other news, 3OH!3 has contributed an original theme song, titled "Sex On The Beach," for the new season of MTV's blockbuster reality series, "The Real World: Cancun." Earlier this year, the duo traveled south of the border to Cancun, Mexico, where they taped a performance and appearance for an upcoming episode. Other recent TV appearances for 3OH3! included MTV's new "It's On With Alexa Chung" and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!."
"WANT," 3OH!3's breakthrough debut album, has proven a true digital phenomenon, with over 3 million tracks sold to date. Produced by Matt Squire (Panic At The Disco, Boys Like Girls), the collection sees 3OH!3 unleashing tongue-in-cheek rhymes and beats that incorporate '80s pop, electronica, and crunk hip-hop to deliver a knockout punch. "WANT" has drawn copious critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone naming the duo as "Artists To Watch," hailing their "unhinged" live sets, "tuneful emo-pop hooks," and "spastic electro grooves and aggro rapping."
3OH!3's MySpace page - located at www.myspace.com/3oh3 - has proven wildly popular, with total plays now approaching 180 million. The page has long been among the networking site's most popular artist pages, with over 300,000 friends and counting.
