The Script to be Featured in Major League Baseball Fan Cave Spot, Airing During the World Series

Epic Recording Artists The Script have again hit the top of the charts with a #1 single in England ("Hall of Fame" featuring will.i.am) and a #1 album in Ireland. Released overseas on September 10th, the Script's third album, #3, will be available in North America today, with an additional digital deluxe edition at iTunes and a special physical deluxe version at Best Buy.

After a handful of intimate must-see shows in London and Dublin, The Script once again hit American soil on October 5th, performing at Major League Baseball's Fan Cave in New York, where hundreds of fans turned up for an exhilarating show celebrating the launch of the Major League Baseball's postseason and wild card games. "Hall of Fame" – which Perez Hilton called an "inspirational and motivational anthem" – will be used in a television spot promoting the Fan Cave during the World Series, which launches October 24 on Fox.

The Script debuted "Hall of Fame" with a stirring performance on the Today Show during the London Olympics; they'll return to the Today Show stage this morning to perform the song live. Later this week, the band will appear on Live With Kelly and Michael (Oct. 10) and The Late Show with Jay Leno (Oct. 12); they'll perform on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on October 15. In addition, the song is currently featured in ads for NBC's primetime drama, Chicago Fire. 

The Script – Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, and Glen Power -- 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.

Tickets for The Script's U.S. Fall headlining tour will become available to the public on June 10th beginning at 10AM local time immediately following the band's performance on NBC's Today Show Summer Concert Series.

"For The First Time," the hit single off Science & Faith is approaching Top 10 at Pop Radio and holding the #3 spot at Hot AC, while the video for the single – which debuted at #1 on VH1 around release - is currently in heavy rotation at MTV. The band recently appeared on VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live show, and participated in VH1's Best Cruise Ever at the end of April.

The album, which was also released overseas, immediately garnered interest from critics and debuted at #1 in Ireland and the UK. Written and produced by The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue and guitarist Mark Sheehan Science & Faith was recorded in both London and Los Angeles and is once again a testament to what The Script do best; pen emotion-packed songs that contain fluid melodies, haunting hooks and Danny's soulful vocals riding high over huge, anthemic choruses.

Critics on U.S. soil have followed suit. USA TODAY awarded Science & Faith a stellar review, The New York Times bestowed the album a "critic's choice review," while Entertainment Weekly described "the band's sunny lyrics, tuneful riffs, and build-build explode! – choruses nail a VH1 catnip niche."

The Script have appeared on NBC's Today Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Live! With Regis & Kelly, Ellen DeGeneres, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE, and most recently on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Lopez Tonight.

The Script is Danny O'Donoghue (vocals/keys), Mark Sheehan (guitar) and Glen Power (drums).

The Script just recently wrapped a string of U.S. tour dates which brought the band through 19 markets across the country, including two back to back sold out NYC Terminal 5 shows on November 4th and November 5th.

2009 proved to be an extremely successful year for The Script. With the U.S. release of their debut album and the massive success of their platinum selling single, "Breakeven,"The Script took America by storm; performing on The Today Show, The View, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen DeGeneres, and the Late Show with David Letterman to name a few. VH1 handpicked the band for their powerful "You Oughta Know" artist campaign and recently aired the band's "Unplugged" performance. Declared an "On The Verge" band by USA TODAY, Rolling Stone raved, "The Script...born to open for Paul McCartney," while Entertainment Weekly described The Script's music as, "smart piano-based pop that's well-crafted and romantic, recalling Coldplay, The Fray and, most impressively, The Police."

The poignant and stirring first single entitled, "For The First Time" - which impacts U.S. radio this week – is already resonating with people around the world. "People are being stripped of everything, stripped of their jobs and their homes and their furniture due to the downward spiral of the economy, so it's going to back to an old thing of drinking cheap bottles of wine, having dinner on the floor, nothing but candlelight, and it's like they are meeting each other for the first time," says frontman Danny O'Donoghue explaining the meaning behind "For The First Time." "It's getting back to reality; you are standing naked in front of this person. That notion really resonated with us and set the tone for what we want to talk about, emotionally."

The exciting news is amplified by the fact that The Script are currently back stateside enjoying their third headlining tour of America. The tour officially kicked off October 11th in San Diego, CA at the House of Blues, will cover over 19 markets across the country and wrap in Boston, MA at the House of Blues on November 7th. Tickets are currently on sale.
