In the U.S., the album debuted in the Top 10 on the Current Albums, Hard Music Albums, Rock Albums, Alternative Albums, and Overall Digital Albums charts. The current single <em>I Only Lie When I Love You<\/em> is climbing the Alternative and Rock radio charts after being the #1 most added upon its debut.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Blood wrapped a run of sold out dates supporting Queens of the Stone Age last night at Madison Square Garden. Later this week the band will head to Europe for additional dates, including the band&#8217;s U.K. and Ireland arena tour, which will see them play to more than 100,000 people. The tour includes three nights at London&#8217;s historic Alexandra Palace.
