New single tops the rock radio charts
The Pretty Reckless are No. 1 again with its latest single “And So It Went” landing at No. 1 on the rock radio charts.
It’s the second consecutive No. 1 single from the new album Death By Rock And Roll and is the band’s sixth overall No. 1 single at the format.
The long-awaited and critically acclaimed Death By Rock And Roll arrived in February and topped multiple sales charts — including Billboard’s Top Albums, Rock, Hard Music, and Digital Charts.
The Pretty Reckless have also been nominated for two iHeart Radio Music Awards. They have been nominated for Rock Artist of the Year, while the title track “Death By Rock And Roll” is nominated for Rock Song of the Year. The iHeart Radio Music Awards are set to air on Fox on Thursday, May 27th at 8 pm ET.
The band will also appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show Tuesday, May 4th at 2 pm ET on NBC.
The Pretty Reckless formed in New York City during 2008, and the musicians and late producer Kato Khandwala initially made waves with their 2010 debut Light Me Up. After countless gigs, the band returned with Going To Hell in 2014. Not only did the record crash the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200, but it also ignited three No. 1 hits — the platinum-certified “Heaven Knows” (the biggest rock song of 2014), “Fucked Up World,” and “Follow Me Down” — a feat that had not been accomplished by a female-fronted group since The Pretenders in 1984. Meanwhile, their third offering, Who You Selling For, saw them return to No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Songs Chart with “Take Me Down,” which cemented them as “the first band to send its first four singles to No. 1 on the chart,” according to Billboard. Praise followed from Vogue, Nylon, and more as the quartet lit up television shows such as Letterman and Conan. With over half-a-billion streams, they headlined countless sold out shows and toured with Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden, and many other heavy hitters. The title track of their fourth album Death By Rock And Roll hit No. 1 on the rock charts and stayed there for multiple weeks. It marked the fifth No. 1 single of the band’s career. The Pretty Reckless are also the first female-fronted band to have back-to-back No. 1 singles at the active rock format. They are also the first female-fronted act to six No. 1 singles on the Billboard Rock Radio Chart, a feat achieved with “And So it Went.”
