The stunning sales success of "brand new eyes" began last month with unprecedented pre-order numbers. Over 34,000 albums were sold in advance of its official release � the most successful album pre-order campaign in Fueled By Ramen label history.
"brand new eyes" is also proving a massive international hit, entering the album charts at #1 in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK as well as #2 in Mexico and #3 in Canada. The album's chart-topping success isn't the only evidence of Paramore's increasing superstardom in the UK � over 40,000 tickets for their upcoming tour were sold in just one day, with the band's first-ever headline date at London's 12,500-capacity Wembley Arena, slated for December 18th, selling out in little more than eight hours.
"Ignorance," the first single from "brand new eyes," is currently a top 10 smash at Alternative Rock outlets nationwide. In addition, the track's companion video is a multi-channel MTV smash, with major rotation play at MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV Hits, and MTV.com. What's more, "Ignorance" can also be seen on Yahoo! Music, MSN Music, and FUSE, which celebrated the release of "brand new eyes" with the broadcast premiere of Paramore's RIAA gold-certified concert film, The Final RIOT!
Universally hailed as an electrifying live act, Paramore will embark on a major North American headline tour beginning Saturday, October 10th with a sold-out show at Chicago's House of Blues. The Paramore tour � presented by paramore.net and fueled by Cisco Eos �kicked off earlier this month, but was delayed due to frontwoman Hayley Williams' laryngitis. A number of dates, including shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, and St. Paul, have been rescheduled � see attached itinerary for details. Supporting Paramore on the predominantly sold-out trek will be Paper Route and fellow Fueled By Ramen band, The Swellers.
In an innovative move, the Paramore tour is being presented by paramore.net and fueled by Cisco Eos. The official home for all things Paramore � as well as the #1 most trafficked website across all Warner Music Group artists � www.paramore.net recently relaunched on the Cisco Eos platform. The site is garnering record-setting levels of visits, with close to 35,000 members now registered in its rapidly increasing community. Fans attending the upcoming tour are invited to participate in the new paramore.net Community Forums, where they can talk with other members about the show, post set lists, and upload their own unique concert videos and photos. Paramore.net also features an array of exclusive content, including in-studio videos, blogs, and photos, as well as ringtones for each track on "brand new eyes."
Paramore will also headline MTV's inaugural "Ulalume Music Festival," a Halloween-themed extravaganza slated for October 23rd at Columbia, Maryland's Meriwether Post Pavilion. Late November will then see the band crossing the Atlantic for a hugely anticipated European tour. The trek includes stops in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands. The tour will culminate with a series of dates in the United Kingdom, including the aforementioned sold-out show at London's Wembley Arena on December 18th.
