It’s A Battle For #1 On The Charts For Kings Of Leon & A Day To Remember This Week

It’s a race to the #1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart this week, with both Kings Of Leon and A Day To Remember vying for the title. 

The two US rock groups released their new albums last week, with A Day To Remember sharing You’re Welcome, their seventh studio album and first since 2016’s Bad Vibrations. It’s been the same length of time for Kings Of Leon with the family band releasing When You See Yourself, their follow-up to 2016’s Walls. 

The Green Room’s Neil Griffiths recently caught up with Kings Of Leon’s Jared Followill who opened up about the band’s tumultuous past. 

"Being in a 'rock band', people kinda want you to be a little bit debaucherous... that basically just enables you to kinda do whatever you want and just get extremely wild," shared Followill.

"And then you're exposed to these situations where everybody is doing that, but you're exposed to it more. So you're doing them kinda like every other night and things can just start to spiral... that's why a lot of that stuff has taken down a lot of great artists because it's encouraged."
