Bush Back Atop Alternative Songs With Self-Released “The Sound of Winter”
Bush is Back! Congratulations Gavin, Chris, Robin and Corey. The whole album is great, we’re looking forward to continued success for you guys..
Bush notches its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Alternative Songs chart since 1999, and its fifth overall, as “The Sound of Winter” rises 3-1.
(All charts will be refreshed Thursday (Oct. 20) on Billboard.com).
The first single from “The Sea of Memories,” the British band’s first album in 10 years – it bowed on the Billboard 200 earlier this month at No. 18 – marks the group’s first Alternative Songs No. 1 since “The Chemicals Between Us” began a five-week reign 12 years and one week ago. (The group’s gap between leaders is the chart’s second-longest. Jane’s Addiction waited 12 years, seven months and three weeks between the toppers “Been Caught Stealing” in 1990 and “Just Because” in 2003).
“It’s the most brilliant start we could have imagined,” says Bush vocalist/guitarist Gavin Rossdale of the response to the set’s first single. “Having a No. 1 song at radio is a testament to not only the band, but the great team that surrounds us, the support at radio and, of course, the tireless fans who give us daily oxygen.
“Thank you all.”
Bush’s Five Alternative Songs No. 1s:
1995, “Comedown” (five weeks)
1995, “Glycerine” (two)
1996, “Swallowed” (seven)
1999, “The Chemicals Between Us” (five)
2011, “The Sound of Winter” (one to-date)
“Memories” is the first Bush album to be released on the band’s own Zuma Rock Records imprint, through an exclusive partnership with eOne Music, and “Winter” is just the seventh No. 1 of the Alternative Songs chart’s 292 leaders dating to the list’s 1988 inception released on an independent label. Notably, the prior six such songs – the Offspring’s “Come Out and Play (Keep ‘Em Separated)” (Epitaph, 1994); Everlast’s “What It’s Like” (Tommy Boy, 1998); Silversun Pickups’ “Panic Switch” (dangerbird, 2009); Phoenix’s “1901″ (Glassnote, 2010); the Dirty Heads’ “Lay Me Down,” featuring Rome of Sublime (Executive, 2010); and, Mumford & Sons’ “Little Lion Man” (Glassnote, 2010) – were released on established independent labels, unlike Bush’s model of self-releasing its new product.
