Acclaimed British rock groupĀ ASKING ALEXANDRIAĀ is celebrating its first-ever No. 1 at U.S. active rock radio with hit singleĀ “Alone Again”, taken from its new seventh full-length studio albumĀ “See What’s On The Inside”. The song officially appears at the top ofĀ Mediabase‘s chart for the format, dated November 6, 2021. The album is the band’s first official release since the news of their new global deal withĀ Better Noise MusicĀ earlier this year, when they were signed by label presidentĀ Dan WaiteĀ out of the company’s London office. The song was released in August to critical acclaim from the likes ofĀ Forbes,Ā NME,Ā LoudwireĀ and more, and it immediately became the band’s fastest rise to the top 10 at U.S radio in their career. It also had the biggest first streaming day and week in the band’s history and was a fitting first offering from the new album, which is a passion project from a band who very much fell back in love with making music and with being bandmates while writing and recording in Nashville earlier this year.Ā “Alone Again”Ā not only started a new chapter for the band musically, it has also translated to global success where international streaming has grown to now 66% of their listenership, according toĀ Spotify.Ā “See What’s On The Inside”Ā made a top 10Ā SpotifyĀ debut in both the U.S. and the U.K. upon release.
The band’s lead guitaristĀ Ben BruceĀ said: “We are so excited and so proud to have achieved our first-ever No. 1 single at active rock radio. We’ve worked so hard to finally get here and to have the number one rock song in America truly is a momentous occasion for us! Thank you to rock radio and everyone else for crankingĀ ‘Alone Again’Ā with us, and thank you to our team atĀ Better NoiseĀ for helping us achieve this goal.”
The band’s managerĀ Diony Sepulveda, veteran talent executive, added: “ASKING ALEXANDRIAĀ signed toĀ Better NoiseĀ to work withĀ Allen KovacĀ and his team in international markets and to reach new heights at both radio and streaming. A big thank you toĀ Allen,Ā Jackie KajzerĀ [SVP/head of radio promotions], and the rest of theĀ Better NoiseĀ team for the band’s first No. 1 at active rock radio.”
Alongside the release of the album last month, the band premiered the official music video for second singleĀ “Never Gonna Learn”. As they recorded this album together during quarantine, the visual, directed byĀ Wombat Fire, showcases the band performing the song in an intimate setting interspersed with polaroid images of the session. The song will impact U.S. radio in January as the official second single from the album.
The band is fresh off their tour withĀ A DAY TO REMEMBER, which wrapped this past Saturday, November 6 in St. Augustine, Florida, after over 25 stops in North America since September. Earlier this month, they announced that label matesĀ ALL GOOD THINGSĀ and rock bandĀ POP EVILĀ will join them on their headlining European tour in spring 2022, with tour dates set from March 30 to April 15.
