Hot Chelle Rae
Feb 7, 2013
Anthemic power pop four-piece Hot Chelle Rae, who you may remember for their breakout 2011 single "Tonight, Tonight" are back with a new song, "Hung Up." No, HCR's "Hung Up" is an up tempo pop-rock jam with a soaring melody that evokes One Direction's hook-driven style with a little of the grown-up vibe of Maroon 5 or Fun.
Hot Chelle Rae released their second studio album, Whatever on November 29, 2011. It reached number 48 on the US Billboard 200, 25 in Australia and 21 in New Zealand. The first single taken from the album, "Tonight Tonight", released in March 2011, became a worldwide success, reaching the top ten of charts in Australia, Canada and Japan, while reaching number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was certified double-platinum in the United States for sales of over two million copies. The second single, "I Like It Like That" (featuring New Boyz) was released in October 2011, reaching the top ten in New Zealand, the top twenty in Australia and Japan, and number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Honestly" was released as the third and final single from the album in March 2012.
Hot Chelle Rae premiered the new single, "Hung Up" on January 25th. It will be officially released on February 12th. The band also announced that their third studio album would be released soon.
