More on The Script [Courtesy of Epic Records]:
The Script – Danny O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, and Glen Plower – released their eponymous debut album in 2008, and achieved worldwide success. The single “Breakeven,” went to #1 on the US charts after a record-setting 36-week ascent, and the album went on to double-platinum sales. It was followed by Science and Faith in 2010, which debuted at #1 in the UK and Ireland.
By then, The Script had become superstars at home – a three-night stand at the 02 Arena in Dublin sold out in less than 40 minutes, with more than 60,000 tickets sold. (As of now, The Script have more than 1.1 million Twitter followers and nearly 4 million Facebook fans.)
Praised for their lush melodies and powerful anthems, which Rolling Stone called “at once soaring and melancholic,” The Script have sold more than four million albums and nine million singles and toured with U2 and Paul McCartney.
