Gavin Rossdale’s New Hit Not His First Time on Billboard’s Charts – Associated Content
Singer Gavin Rossdale has a single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart called “Love Remains The Same.” It is the first single off his new solo album, “Wanderlust,” which has been out since June 3. The song broke into the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. On October 21, Rossdale performed “Love Remains The Same” on “Live with Regis and Kelly.”

And just who is Gavin Rossdale?

Lately, Gavin Rossdale has been recognizable only as the guy accompanying Gwen Stefani and as the father of Gwen Stefani’s two children, the births of which made entertainment news headlines everywhere. Rossdale happens to be Stefani’s husband. They were married in 2002. But being Gwen Stefani’s husband is not all of who Gavin Rossdale is.

Stefani and Rossdale met when No Doubt, Stefani’s band, opened for Bush, Rossdale’s band.

Now, is it coming back? Does the name Bush ring a bell now (besides being the name of the president)?

During the 1990′s post-Grunge movement, Gavin Rossdale fronted the English band Bush. Considered by many critics as an inferior Nirvana derivative, Bush stormed the album charts in 1994 with “Sixteen Stone” and stayed on the charts for over a year, producing five Top 10 songs on Billboards Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The album would peak at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and eventually go 6 times platinum (6 million units sold).

And if the album “Sixteen Stone” does not bring back the memory of Bush, then perhaps one of their hit songs might. “Everything Zen,” “Glycerine,” “Comedown,” “Little Things,” and “Machinehead,” are still constantly played on alternative music radio stations.

Or perhaps the follow-up album “Razorblade Suitcase,” which landed at No.1 and sold over 3 million copies in the United States, will jog your memory.

If not, Bush put out two more albums, 1999′s “The Science Of Things,” which went platitinum, and 2001′s “Golden State,” which did not even reach its namesake status. Shortly after the release of “Golden State,” the lead guitarist, Nigel Pulsford, left the band. After a tour that saw little support from their record label, Bush disbanded in 2002.
