According to The Pulse Of Radio, GRETA VAN FLEET has set a new airplay record on Canadian radio. The band's current single, "When The Curtain Falls", has spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on rock radio in the Great White North, following similar stretches in the top spot by previous singles "Highway Tune" and "Safari Song". The three tracks combined have kept GRETA VAN FLEET at No. 1 on the Canadian airwaves for a total of 27 weeks in 2018, breaking a calendar-year record previously shared by RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and PEARL JAM. GRETA VAN FLEET released its debut full-length album, "Anthem Of The Peaceful Army", on October 19, landing at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart with 87,000 copies sold. The disc followed two previous EPs and the breakout song "Highway Tune", which first put the quartet on the map in 2017. GRETA VAN FLEET will finish up its 2018 touring with multi-night stints in Chicago and Detroit, also playing a two-night stand in Seattle in early January. A new North American tour will start next May 7 in Miami.
