06-03-2024

(Elektra) Twenty One Pilots have made a massive global impact with the release of their celebrated new LP, Clancy, which posted the biggest week for any Rock album in 2024. The collection opened in the U.S. with 143,000 units in its first week, an extraordinary achievement for the Columbus, OH band of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun who moved over 113,000 copies of Clancy in pure album sales, landing them the top spot on Billboard's: Top Album Sales, Top Rock Albums, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales charts.

Clancy also commanded the #2 spot on Billboard's Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, and soared to #3 on the Billboard 200 marking the highest debut this week and the duo's fourth consecutive Top 3 debut on the tally. A true global phenomenon amassing over 100 million streams worldwide in its first week, Clancy earned Twenty One Pilots Top 3 chart debuts in the U.K., Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, The Netherlands, Ireland, and Austria, with #1 debuts in Australia, Germany, and Scotland.

Co-produced by Joseph and Paul Meany, Clancy marks the final chapter in an multi-album and nearly decade long narrative first introduced in the band's 2015 multi-platinum breakthrough, BLURRYFACE. The ambitious collection is highlighted by the previously released tracks "The Craving (single version)," "Backslide," "Next Semester" and "Overcompensate," the latter of which rocketed up the Alternative Radio chart hitting #1, marking their 11th #1 at the format, and welcoming listeners back to the band's immersive world of 'Trench.'

Having already sold nearly one million tickets across 75 shows, this summer Twenty One Pilots will embark on The Clancy World Tour, their biggest headline tour ever which is set to kick off with a two-night stand at Denver, CO's Ball Arena on August 15th and 16th.
