Band debuts at No. 1 in several countries
Foo Fighters’ new 11th album, But Here We Are, unanimously hailed as one of the band’s strongest to date, has become its tenth album to break the Top 10 of the US Album Chart. But Here We Are also marks the band’s sixth UK No. 1, ninth Australian No. 1, No. 1 spots in Switzerland and New Zealand, and Top 5 debuts in nearly a dozen more territories.
Released June 2nd on Roswell Records/RCA Records, But Here We Are has landed at No. 8 in its first week on the Billboard 200, while entering at No. 1 on the Alternative and Hard Rock album sales charts. The new album’s Top 10 debut continues a trend that began with the back to back Top 10 positions achieved by The Colour and the Shape in 1997 and There is Nothing Left to Lose in 1999, and has since included the No. 1 charting Wasting Light in 2011 and Concrete and Gold in 2017, as well as the Top 3 placings of One by One in 2002, In Your Honor in 2005, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace from 2007, 2014’s Sonic Highways and Medicine at Midnight from 2021.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, But Here We Are has received the warmest of welcomes—from the capacity crowds singing along to every word of “Rescued” and “Under You” during the band’s current tour, to a still growing torrent of acclaim for the album and its songs.
Following the recent announcement of stadium dates in Australia and New Zealand, Foo Fighters resume their ongoing tour in support of But Here We Are this week, including a headlining set at Bonnaroo this weekend.
