ADTR's new record, Common Courtesy has sold over 92,000 copies, according to Soundscan but wasn't eligible to chart on the Billboard due to their lawsuit with Victory Records. View the press release below
A Day To Remember’s new album Common Courtesy is off to a monster start. As the band was involved in litigation with a record label for the past couple years, it was uncertain for some time when the band’s new album Common Courtesy would see the light of day.
On October 4th, a federal judge ruled in an injunction hearing that the band could legally release the album. Since their fans had been waiting for new music, the band opted to pre-release their album as soon as they possibly could direct to fans on October 8th.
Today Neilsen Soundscan verifies that the band sold 40,550 copies through their own digital direct to fan presale as well as 52,324 albums through traditional retail outlets such as Best Buy, iTunes and Hot Topic. In total, the new album has sold 92,874 copies in the US alone. The album will not debut on the Billboard chart this week due to the untraditional nature of this release but the band is very thankful for the overwhelming support and loyalty of their fans. Had Common Courtesy been eligible the band would have had a Top 10 debut this week.
"This proves that the days of needing huge record contracts are over, and that all that really matters are the fans,” remarked lead singer Jeremy McKinnon. “Thank you for the support."

Contracts are deceiving, the law is confusing and when legal issues arise most of us shy away from what is going down in the courtroom and simply wait for the final verdict. Well the ruling has been made, and A Day To Remember has released their fifth record, Common Courtesy, with permission from the judge.
Common Courtesy has been one of the most anticipated albums of 2013 and for various reasons. It has been three years since A Day To Remember has put out any new music with the exception of the song “Violence (Enough is Enough), which has been building up hype since December 2012. Most of all, the case with Victory Records has created a fair amount of complications for the band and owners of the label. Finally, Common Courtesy is here, and A Day To Remember is right back at it again. ADTR’s secret formula has always been the proper mixing of pop-punk with hardcore brutality, and the band has stuck with what has always worked for this fifth record.
The song style and creativity has been stepped up to match A Day To
Remember’s massiveness. Some may criticize this record for lacking musical evolution, and some will praise this record for sticking to the roots of the band’s style. I don’t know how long this style will last, but I believe fans will absolutely love this record. People will be jamming Common Courtesy for weeks, months, and even years to come.
Songs such as “Violence (Enough is Enough)” and “Life Lesson Learned The Hard Way” bring out Jeremy’s anger and brutal breakdowns all over. All songs have hints of influence from the bands previous albums “Homesick” and “What Separates Me From You”. “End Of Me” and “I’m Already Gone” slow down the record to a pleasant pace with a balance of acoustic guitars and huge build-ups. Overall, this album is fantastically balanced and is the truest representation of ADTR to date.
Fans have been expecting a lot from this record, and on every level A Day To Remember has delivered. Between constant touring, legal issues with Victory Records, and the difficulties with releasing this album, the members of A Day To Remember deserve all the praise for this record. Go pick up Common Courtesy on ADTR.com. You won’t regret it.

Sometime today, the ADTR crew will be in a courtroom making their case against Victory Records about the release of Common Courtesy. I guess they didn’t make up their minds when they signed 3-4-5 on that dotted line.
A Day To Remember and Victory Records are meeting in a courthouse in Illinois later today in anticipation of a long-awaited court ruling on whether or not the band owes the label two more albums by contractual obligation, or if the court is satisfied in the band’s belief that they have fulfilled their contractual responsibilities.
A Day To Remember have launched a few preorder packages for its new record, Common Courtesy. There’s a note with the preorders: “All dates are estimated and subject to change.
PropertyOfZack are reporting that A Day To Remember will be self-releasing their upcoming album, Common Courtesy, on October 8th despite the unresolved nature of its lawsuit against Victory Records.
With less than six weeks before Common Courtesy comes out, it looks as though A Day To Remember are timing the release of the album with their fall arena tour. Six days following the band’s original announcement, pre-orders or press releases from any label have still yet to be sent out.
You can stream a new A Day To Remember song titled “Violence (Enough Is Enough)” here. It’s off the bands upcoming new album Common Courtesy.
