Their new album, After Laughter, hit number one on Billboard's U.S. Top Alternative Albums chart and the U.S. Top Rock Albums chart. Their previous self-titled album "PARAMORE" also made a chart topping debut atop the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon its release marking Paramore's first #1 album to date and featured two 2x RIAA platinum-certified hits, the top 10 "Still Into You" and the #1 smash, "Ain't It Fun." Paramore has had a truly remarkable run of RIAA certified albums and singles since coming together in Nashville in 2004, from 2005's gold-certified debut, "ALL WE KNOW IS FALLING" and 2007's 2x platinum-certified breakthrough, "RIOT!" (with its 3x platinum-certified hit, "Misery Business," as well as the platinum-certified singles "crushcrushcrush" and "That's What You Get") to 2008's worldwide platinum "Decode" (from Chop Shop/Atlantic's chart-topping "TWILIGHT - ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK") and 2009's platinum-certified "brand new eyes" and its GRAMMY®-nominated smash, "The Only Exception." Long regarded as an exhilarating live act, Paramore has spent much of the past decade-plus on the road, with highlights including sold out headline arena tours and show-stealing festival sets around the globe. Paramore has consistently drawn both critical acclaim as well as a wide ranging list of international honors and accolades, including a GRAMMY® Award, two People's Choice Awards, three NME Awards, three MTV Video Music Award nominations, and much much more.
