The Reason
Hoobastank
WE SAY
This is one of the biggest hits in America right now - it's #2 on Bigchampagne.com's most available on p2p chart and a massive airplay hit across the formats. The album has moved #7 to #6 to #5 across the last three weeks and just scanned its millionth copy on SoundScan, making Island's rock roster look many times healthier as LA Reid arrives at the label. Brilliant verse, compelling lyric, excellent performance, totally American of course but this should break internationally nonetheless. Hits are carrying a good story about how the band nearly signed to Immortal (skip down to May 19).
