The album follows the ultra-catchy Top 3 smash hit Superheroes, which is currently the most played track at UK radio, and is playlisted at Radio 1, Radio 2, Bauer and Capital FM. The video (view here) premiered earlier last month and has already picked up over 5 million views. Also this month, The Script played two sold out special, intimate shows – the first in their hometown at Dublin Castle, and the latter at London’s Roundhouse, as part of the iTunes Festival. The show can be streamed here (add link to watch gig).
The Script’s fourth album, No Sound Without Silence, which went straight no Number 1 upon its release is the sound of a band firing on all cylinders and channeling the momentum of their last, rocket-powered campaign. The trio of songwriters had so many ideas while touring last year, they were busting out of the specially built mobile recording studio they’d taken with them on the tour bus. They finished touring #3 at the end of last year, took a scant couple of weeks off, then quickly re-entered their studios in London and Dublin to begin work on the highly anticipated No Sound Without Silence.
The Script have scored a huge amount of success globally – they have sold over 20 million records, and all 3 albums have been multi-platinum throughout the world. Hall Of Fame, the lead single from last album #3, was a worldwide #1 single with over 5 million sales, 142 million Youtube views, and over 100 million Spotify plays. The Script have done especially well Stateside, where they have 5 Platinum singles and have sold over 1 million albums. Their forthcoming world tour starts in South Africa in January 2015, before hitting the UK the following month.
