"Decode" has just arrived at multi-format radio outlets nationwide, making a top 40 debut in its first week at Alternative.

Paramore are among the featured artists in Activision’s eagerly awaited Guitar Hero World Tour, due in stores on October 26th.

"Riot!" made an explosive chart entry upon its June 2007 release. Boasting two top 5 Modern Rock radio hits in the RIAA platinum-certified "Misery Business" and the gold-certified "crushcrushcrush," the album quickly went on to achieve RIAA platinum certification, with sales now well over 1,000,000. An array of accolades followed, including a "Best New Artist" nod at this year’s 50th Annual Grammy Awards, a "Best Rock Video" nomination at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and "Band of the Year" honors from Alternative Press.
