New York – British electronic breakout group Clean Bandit have jumped to #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their international smash single, “Rather Be” ft. Jess Glynne, and announced details of their first-ever North American headline tour. The dates (listed below) – which celebrate the group’s new debut album, New Eyes, out now on Big Beat/Atlantic Records – get underway September 15th at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall, and then continue through the month. Tickets, along with an enhanced VIP bundle – which includes exclusive merchandise, music as well as autographed posters for a limited time – are available for pre-sale by logging on http://bit.ly/1mbxJm8.
Clean Bandit made their US live debut last week with sold out gigs in Los Angeles (The Roxy) and Brooklyn (Music Hall of Williamsburg), presented in partnership with Spotify. Clean Bandit also made their American TV debut on NBC’s TODAY SHOW with a live rendition of their global smash single, “Rather Be (Feat. Jess Glynne)”.
Topping Spotify at #1 in more than 13 countries worldwide, “Rather Be” is proving an equivalent blockbuster here in the US. The track is now ascending the top 10 of both Billboard’s “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” chart and the iTunes Store’s “Top Dance Songs” ranking, fueled in part by total weekly streams now in excess of 1 million. “Rather Be” has also shattered a variety of long held records, including the most one-week plays ever at Spotify and the most one-week Shazams at Shazam.com.
“Rather Be” has since entered the record books as the longest running #1 in the history of the UK’s Official Streaming Chart, surpassing Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky (Feat. Pharrell Williams),” and dominating the top spot for eight straight weeks and counting. As if all that weren’t enough, the single’s equally undeniable companion video is now exceeding a remarkable 83 million individual views:
