STONE SOUR’S
“BOTHER” IMPACTS TOP 40 RADIO AS #3 MOST ADDED SONG
AND MAINTAINS TOP 10 POSITIONS AT ROCK RADIO;
BAND TO TOUR EUROPE IN FEBRUARY 2003
Stone Sour's smash "Bother" is #3 most added in its first week out at Top 40 radio, having already impacted deeply as a Top 5 Modern, Active Rock and Mainstream Rock hit. Bringing a much-needed rock poignancy to the Top 40 format, the song came in ahead of songs by Jay Z and Justin Timberlake and right behind songs by Vanessa Carlton and P. Diddy. In addition, the band’s self-titled debut album (Roadrunner Records) sold 15,903 copies this week, a 14% increase from the previous week.
STONE SOUR–vocalist COREY TAYLOR, guitarist JAMES ROOT, drummer JOEL EKMAN, guitarist JOSH RAND and bassist SHAWN ECONOMAKI–is currently on a nationwide headlining tour with Chevelle supporting. These dates also include a STONE SOUR performance at the KROCK Christmas Show at Nassau Coliseum in New York on December 12 and a special headlining hometown-area New Year’s Eve show in Iowa. After wrapping up their U.S. tour December 31, STONE SOUR will kick off a European trek in February.
