APOCALYPTICA DOMINATES US RADIO CHARTS

Hot on the heels of Ercola's no. 1 song on the US Hot Dance Airplay Chart, "Every Word", comes another Finnish radio smash - from, erm, a little different kind of artist: cello-metal band Apocalyptica's new single, "I Don't Care" has topped the BDS- and Mediabase Active Rock radiocharts in the US.

And that's not all, folks: "I Don't Care" is also in the top ten of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks & Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts. Other top ten artists on these charts include names as Metallica, Coldplay, AC/DC and Slipknot.

Congrats from Helsinki, fellas!
