Streets In The Sky Enters UK Album Chart

The Enemy stormed the UK official album chart this week with their third album 'Streets In The Sky'. The Coventry band entered the chart at number 9 , having signed to Cooking Vinyl  - the home of Reverend And The Makers and The Prodigy.

The Enemy spoke earlier saying,"we just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's bought the new record and done such an incredible job supporting us and helping put independent guitar music back in the charts."  Tom, Andy and Liam met fans during the week at album signings in Coventry, Manchester, London and Glasgow. Amazon also had 'Streets In The Sky' as their album of the week and helped increase sales as the midweek chart had The Enemy at number 4. There were twelve new entries on the official UK charts this week.

Speaking about the album chart position, Tom Clarke said, "we always knew this album would be a struggle, and to be honest we always hoped it would get in the top ten." He thanked fans for buying the album and supporting the band.

The Enemy Treat Fans To Free Single Download


Coventry band The Enemy are giving fans a very special treat - the first single from the new album 'Streets In The Sky' for free. The single will be 'Gimme The Sign' and fans will be able to download it from the two official websites www.theenemy.com and at www.facebook.com/theenemy.

As we revealed previously, Radio 1's Zane Lowe will showcase the single on his show (21/02/12) and then fans will be able to download the single from the links above. Tom Clarke explained why the band were giving the track away for free, "because we have the most dedicated loyal fans in the world, you've stuck with us through thick and thin, through the highs of Wembley and through complete radio silence. Our way of showing you that we appreciate the support, and that we love you guys is to give you this one, and wet your appetites for the album."

Fans will be able to let Radio 1 and Zane Lowe know what they think of Gimme The Sign by sending a text to 81199 after the track is played on the show. Tom Clarke went on to say, "Let radio know what you think. The only way we'll get guitar music back in the charts is if the public mobilise and make it happen. We can make great albums, but only the public can make great bands."


Gimme The Sign FREE DOWNLOAD will be available from:

Fans were quick to respond to the news on Twitter prompting Tom to respond to all the messages with these words, "We've worked our bollocks off, and when I see you lot on twitter mobilising for the cause it makes me proud as fuck. Thankyou!"  More good news for fans of The Enemy is expected tomorrow (Tues 21/02/12) when the band reveal details of their UK tour ahead of the third album release.
