3 Doors Down set to release first-ever greatest hits album

Posted in News with tags 3 Doors Down, Duck and Run, Greatest hits album, It's Not My Time, Kelly Clarkson, Kryptonite on 19th October 2012 by Nico Solheim-Davidson, the North Sea Poet

Multi-platinum, chart-topping US rockers, 3 Doors Down, will release their first-ever Greatest Hits package on November 19^th 2012 via Universal.

Simply titled Greatest Hits, the collection encompasses the group’s much-celebrated smash singles such as Kryptonite, It’s Not My Time,When I’m Gone and many more. Three new songs, including the single One Light, make the record a must-have for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.

From the first explosive burst of their single Kryptonite, which ignited their career at the top of the last decade, to subsequent multi-platinum albums, plus a non-stop touring regime that still finds them notching up shows around the world at record pace, 3 Doors Down now stand as one of rock’s most exciting and authentic crossover acts.

Their steady ascent up the ladder has seen them scoring multiple #1 US hits, snagging several Billboard and other awards, and logging scores of sold-out shows over a growing global terrain that now includes close to 40 different countries.

Greatest Hits follows up the band’s fifth studio effort, 2011’s Time of My Life, which debuted at #3 on the US Billboard chart, yielding their tenth Top 10 single in the process.

One Light, meanwhile, is classic 3 Doors Down, blending a massive hook and warm melodies; in addition, this long-awaited collection also boasts new songs, There’s A Life and Goodbyes.

Greatest Hits shines a bright light on 3 Doors Down‘s incredible journey thus far, whilst paving the way for the next stage in a career that will see the band spending more time in Europe and the UK, with both headline dates and festival appearances planned for 2013.

Tracklisting is as followed:

^{1. Kryptonite}

^{2. When I’m Gone}

^{3. Here Without You}

^{4. It’s Not My Time}

^{5. Let Me Go}

^{6. Be Like That}

^{7. Loser}

^{8. Away From The Sun}

^{9. Duck and Run}

^{10. One Light}

^{11. There’s A Life}
