Music Soup

We had already talked about the prolific Kings Of Leon to present the first single, “Sex On Fire” From the stretch, just come out, “Only By The Night.” The Kings Of Leon are not sure of the unknown, already their previous album, “Because Of The Times” has sold nearly 1 million copies worldwide (estimate worldwidealbums) of which 480,000 in England (as musicweek), but a few were expecting the “boom” in sales this week that they were catapulted to No.

1 in Australia with 36,000 copies (which must be added to almost 5000 last week, as Undercover) and England with 220,000 copies sold, many of more than 70,000 of “Because Of The Times”, which are enough to do it debut at No. 1 (as musicweek).

In the USA album, as planned Hits Daily Double debut album in top5 with about 80,000 copies, almost double what they come to n.25 “Because Of The Times” a year ago. So a huge growth somewhat ‘everywhere, including Italy, because for the first are the Kings Of Leon in the charts even by us, to the position 75. If we add the fact that the growing band of successful album after album (U2, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers) are those that last longer, we could hear them for a long, long time.
