The Dirtyheads make Music History

The Dirtyheads have broken 2 music related records based on Billboard Chart Statistics.

They have the longest running single at #1 on the Alternative Rock charts for a band on an indie label (11 weeks). They were one week away from breaking the record set by the Foo Fighters for the longest stay at number one by any band on the Alt Rock Charts.

They also are the first band on an indie label to hit #1 on the Rock Charts (3 weeks and running as of this week).

We're very proud to have one of our regular bands on The Pier make it to this level. We wish success of this caliber for all of the artists we listen to.
