Panic! At The Disco landed its first #1 album today with Death Of A Bachelor (DCD2/Fueled By Ramen/Crush Music). The album, released on January 15th, debuted atop the Billboard 200 Chart with 190,000 album equivalent units earned. Death Of A Bachelor is also the week’s top-selling release scanning 169,000 albums, marking the band’s highest debut in its 10+ year career.  It was also #1 on the iTunes album chart in 18 countries around the world.

Produced by Jake Sinclair, Death of a Bachelor marks the first release from Panic! At The Disco in nearly two years, following 2013’s acclaimed Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!. The album has already generated significant steam – current single “Victorious” rocketed to #1 on iTunes Top Songs chart, # 1 on Billboard + Twitter’s Trending 140 chart, while also trending worldwide on Tumblr and Twitter. The album has also produced four additional top 15-charting hits on the Hot Rock Songs chart with “Hallelujah,” “Victorious,” “Emperor’s New Clothes,” “LA Devotee,” and “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time.”

In celebration of the album, Panic! At The Disco performed “Victorious” live on “Good Morning America” on January 15th. Tonight, January 25th the band will return to the outdoor stage at “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” On February 4th the band will make their debut appearance on the “Late Late Show with James Corden.”

Panic! At The Disco will also bring their theatric spectacle across the United States this summer as they co-headline an expansive 40+city tour with Weezer. The Weezer & Panic! At The Disco Summer 2016 Tour will feature special guest Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness hitting major markets like Miami, Atlanta, Dallas and many more with several markets already being sold out.

Praise for Death of a Bachelor include:  THE NEW YORK TIMES:  “Evokes both the flamboyant swagger of Queen and the mechanized gleam of Daft Punk.”  ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:  “Glammed up rocker.”  ALTERNATIVE PRESS:  “A remarkably nuanced affair.” BOSTON GLOBE:  Urie’s charm and willingness to maximize his songs’ pop-spectacle quotient make “Bachelor” an often-delightful accompaniment to 2016’s earliest, chilliest weeks.  MTV:  “It kicks ass.”
