The Script go top three in the States
49,000 Americans are definitely not wrong!
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 28 Jan 2011
The amazing news from the States is that The Script have debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 – that’s the mainstream chart – with Science & Faith.
The album sold 49,000 copies during its first week of release, a figure only bettered by the 70,000 units shifted by Kidz Bop Kids (isn't there a law against that sort of thing?) and in pole position The Decemberists whose The King Is Dead has found its way into 94,000 homes.
Gentlemen, we shall have a toast tonight in your honour!

Tete-at-tetes with Paul McCartney, praise from John Mayer, support slots with U2 and Take That... it’s been a whirlwind two years for THE SCRIPT. But, with a new album that confronts weighty subjects such as the recession, it’s clear these three Dublin lads still have their feet firmly on the ground. They talk about channelling their inner Manic Street Preacher, and explain why, despite their success, they won’t be splashing out on Rolexes. words Stuart Clark
