The Darkness make big leap in US chart
09/01/2004 - 17:29:16UK rock sensations The Darkness have scored the highest-climbing album on this week's US chart, making their first appearance in the top 100.
Their album 'Permission To Land' went from number 173 to 92 in one week on the Billboard chart.
The flamboyant rock group, influenced by Queen and AC/DC, are due to appear on The Letterman Show tonight, which will surely further help their album sales.
They've certainly been getting good reviews over there - The New York Times has said their music "sticks to the listener like hair gel" while the Los Angeles Times said they were "a little-bit-mindless but certainly-not-spineless".
