With their new single, 'Evening Wear / Mark David Chapman,' NYC electro/punk band Mindless Self Indulgence again takes the number one spot on Billboard's Hot Dance Singles Sales chart while also hitting multiple spots on Billboard US Dance charts.
This is the fifth consecutive single that MSI has had in the top five Billboard Hot Singles Sales Chart from their top 40 full length 'If.'
This news comes on the heels of MSI's headlining the Kerrang! tour and the release of the video for "Mark David Chapman," which can be viewed at the following location:
In 2008 Mindless Self Indulgence topped the Billboard Hot Singles chart with songs at both top positions as "Pay For It" and "On It" debut at #1 and #2, respectively. This is MSI's second #1 selling single from the album, 'IF'.
The first, "Never Wanted To Dance," was released in April of this year and shot to the top of the chart. Having two songs at #1 and #2 at the same time hasn't been done since Bright Eyes accomplished it four years ago, when "Lua" and "Take it Easy (Leave Nothing)" hit #1 and #2, respectively. However, topping Bright Eyes, MSI also owns the #5 spot with "Issues."Released April 28th, 2008, MSI's 'IF' debuted on Billboard's Top 200 Album Sales Chart at an astonishing #27. MSI also prove that, in addition to their sales and chart rankings, they are a formidable presence both in concert and online, with a fan-base which is not only rabid, but also incredibly faithful.
