Lady Antebellum sells out in London
"We've been looking forward to going to the UK all summer," said Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott. "I wish we are able to stay a little longer and travel around, but this will at least be a great introduction for us to the new fans and friends we are making over there."
The group's International reach has widened considerably with their smash single Need You Now claiming the number one spot in Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland and Brazil and top five status in more than 20 countries including France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Israel. The group's second album has also climbed to the Top 10 on the album sales charts in the UK, Ireland, Holland, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, surpassing gold status in New Zealand and South Africa.
Back in the States, the CD is the biggest selling album in all genres in 2010, tallying 2.5 million sales in 6 months. Upon their return, the band will perform on Good Morning America live from Central Park on Aug. 27 before kicking off their first US headlining tour on Sept. 20 in Orlando.

Lady Antebellum may cause you to throw out many of your country music principles. They don't sing and play traditional country music, for starters. They're not cool like more rocking Americana artists. In fact, they're huge mainstream country stars. So, why are some of us still suckers for their sound? And why does the new "Heart Break" sound so good on the ears? Well, it's simple, but complicated.
Hillary Scott is simply a wonderfully sincere singer. ...
