THE DARKNESS Score Highest-Climbing Album On BILLBOARD Chart
U.K. rock sensations THE DARKNESS have scored the highest-climbing album on this week's U.S. chart, making their first appearance in the top 100, according to Ireland Online.
Their album "Permission To Land" went from number 173 to 92 in one week on the Billboard chart.
The flamboyant rock group, influenced by QUEEN and AC/DC, are due to appear on "Late Show With David Letterman" tonight (Jan. 9), which will surely further help their album sales.
In other news, the New York Post is reporting that THE DARKNESS recently refused to do a photo shoot with British music rag Q because the photographer wanted the band to spray 15 naked models with champagne. But guitarist Daniel Hawkins now says it wasn't the degradation of women that was the issue. "They were trying to give us that Moet & Chandon crap, but we don't pour anything less than Cristal," jokes the axe-man.
THE DARKNESS performed at an in-store appearance at the Virgin Megastore in New York City Thursday (Jan. 8). Check out pictures from Wire Image, LFI.
