2009/9/30 - KINGS OF LEON'S "USE SOMEBODY" #1 AT TOP 40 RADIO ONE YEAR AFTER ONLY BY THE NIGHT IS RELEASED

RCA Records is very proud to announce that Kings of Leon's single "Use Somebody" has hit the #1 spot on the Top 40 Radio charts in both airplay and audience. Amazingly, this is happening exactly one year after the album Only By The Night was released. At this point, with all the radio "Use Somebody" is getting in all the formats, the song is reaching a cumulative audience of 100 million on the Hot 100. The album has sold 1.3 million copies in America to date.

Kings of Leon are in the middle of a triumphant North American arena tour that will come to an end in the states on October 16 in Nashville, TN. This weekend they will be headlining the prestigious Austin City Limits Music Festival.

Only By The Night was released on September 23, 2008 and debuted in the top five on the Billboard top 200 and #1 at iTunes. The band were nominated for three Grammys and won their first for "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals" for "Sex On Fire," which was #1 on Billboard magazine's Modern Rock chart for nine weeks in a row. "Use Somebody," which has now sold over one million tracks, was #1 at Modern Rock for three weeks straight and is currently one of the biggest rock crossovers of the year at pop radio with its position solid at #1. Appearances on the covers of Rolling Stone and SPIN, and performances on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show's summer concert series on Rockefeller Plaza, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien have all helped give the band the biggest selling record of their career as well as put them in front of more fans than ever before.

I saw you guys last night (at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs) and I was blown away. Also, I was wondering why the tour dates never show (on here or on the shirts) that you guys played in Council Bluffs? Oh well, I saw you there, and it was amazing.

Your show in Dallas was AMAZING!
I loved every minute of it, right down to when you called out the few people that were leaving.

"All the people that are leaving early are obviously not here for the right reason"

I am currently left without a voice because i was screaming/singing so loud. It was well worth it. I cannot wait until you come back!

Last night in Houston was amazing, I've been talking about it all day. The show at ACL wasn't as fantastic, except for when Eddie Veder came out. And the fact that Dave Ghrol was strolling around. But seriously, my mind was blown.
You've been my favorite band for almost 4 years, and last night just made me love you even more.

What the hell took so long? People must be crazy, you guys should have had a ton of #1's by now!!!! Great show in Minneapolis by the way! Wished you guys would have been sticking around the Midwest a little longer. Hope all is well and that you're all eating your chicken noodle soup! Take care
