By Jason •
The multi-platinum titans extend their reign with a new anthem while electrifying fans worldwide.

In a display of unstoppable force, SHINEDOWN has once again carved their name into the annals of rock history, claiming their 26th No. 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart with the powerful single 'Young Again.' This latest triumph not only solidifies their record for the most chart-topping songs in the genre's history but also serves as a testament to the band’s relentless ambition, following their previous hit 'Safe And Sound' that similarly rocked the charts.

The new anthem is part of their latest album 'Ei8ht', unleashed upon the world by Atlantic Records, and continues to echo the band's legacy of connecting with fans through emotionally charged and anthemic soundscapes. As the band embarks on their 'Dance, Kid, Dance Act II' world tour, they are set to bring their high-octane live performances to audiences globally, including long-awaited stops in Australia and New Zealand after a 15-year hiatus.

'Young Again' doesn't just dominate the Active Rock scene; it’s also climbing the Alternative charts, nearing a Top 20 position. This is the second hit from 'Ei8ht' to achieve such heights, with 'Three Six Five' also reaching No. 1 in the Alternative domain, showcasing SHINEDOWN's versatility and broad appeal across multiple rock platforms.

The essence of 'Young Again' resonates deeply, urging listeners to seize the moment and cherish the fleeting nature of youth—a sentiment made vivid in the accompanying music video directed by Andrew Donoho, which captures the raw spirit of nostalgia and freedom. The band’s ability to weave personal storytelling into their music has earned them accolades and a devoted following that spans generations.

As they prepare for their upcoming Australian tour dates, including stops in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, SHINEDOWN continues to push the boundaries of modern rock. Following the Australian leg, they will take their explosive live show to Europe, with dates lined up in iconic venues from Paris to Dublin, featuring support from COHEED AND CAMBRIA and THOSE DAMN CROWS.

With over 8.3 billion global streams and a collection of accolades including 15 platinum and gold singles, SHINEDOWN stands as a colossus in the metal scene. Their unyielding dedication to creating music that resonates profoundly with their audience ensures that they remain a driving force in rock, as they continue to redefine what it means to be a powerhouse in the industry.
