Amazing...Paramore just hit #1 on the Billboard 200, as well as in a dozen other countries including UK, Ireland, Aus, NZ, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, etc.

Huge news for me. My first #1 with an unlikely pairing and against all odds. I'll bloody take it.

Best,
J

Hey we may have a mutual friend. Did you meet Stevo?

Also, congrats! I have literally watched that band grow from their early demos and early releases on FBR. The strategy behind that band was executed perfectly.

I've been listening to the album almost all day.
Although I am not a fan of "new-metal" type music and I didn't like their first album, I must admit this one really ticks a lot of buttons!
Great vocal melodies and phrasing (Gwen Stefani-like in a good way) and cool bass work!

Although I'm probably way older than their target audience... I gotta admit their music has always been a huge guilty pleasure of mine. They know just how to write strong hooks, and damn can she sing.

Haven't really had to chance to listen to the whole album yet, but I'm really impressed by the opening track and the single "Now"... Freaking catchy as always and top notch production.

Congratulations Justin!
