Why Don't We Release Debut Album 8 LETTERS

Atlantic recording group Why Don't We has released their highly anticipated, debut full length album, 8 LETTERS. Arriving overnight, the album immediately shot to #1 on iTunes' Overall Album chart ahead of artists like Ariana Grande, Drake, and BTS. 8 LETTERS is available now at all music retailers and streaming services. Download/stream HERE.

8 LETTERS was preceded by a trio of wildly popular tracks, "Hooked," "Talk," and, most recently, the album's infectious title track. The songs have collectively garnered over 43 million streams on Spotify alone in under 3 months in advance of today's album release; their companion videos have logged an additional 38 million views on YouTube.

Why Don't We will celebrate the release of 8 LETTERS with a series of high profile TV performances, including a special Labor Day concert in New York City's Rockefeller Plaza for NBC's TODAY, set for Monday, September 3rd. The band will then visit the nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan for an additional live performance, scheduled for Thursday, September 6th. The media blitz continues the following week with appearances on MTV's TRL on Monday, September 10th, and CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday, September 11th (check local listings).

Why Don't We will support 8 LETTERS with a truly epic live schedule, including a major North American headline tour to be announced soon. The band is currently in the midst of a massive globetrotting, world tour, which has recently taken their exhilarating live show overseas throughout Asia - including stops in Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and the Philippines - and Australia before returning stateside. October will then see Why Don't We crossing the Atlantic for their biggest European tour thus far, with shows scheduled in Spain, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom, culminating in an October 25th finale at London's famed Eventim Apollo Hammersmith.

Amassing more than 200 million global audio streams, 3 million Instagram followers, and total You Tube views exceeding 250 million with over 2 million subscribers in under 2 years, Why Don't We has become one of pop music's biggest breakout stories. Taking an innovative and unconventional approach towards releasing new music and actively engaging their rapidly growing fanbase, the prolific young group - the quintet ranges in age from 17-20 years old - put out four EPs in under 12 months. The group closed 2017 on a high note, performing on the entire iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, including the NYC stop at Madison Square Garden where they shared the stage with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Camilla Cabello and more. The band has sold out back-to-back North American headlining tours, including their biggest trek to date earlier this year that was highlighted by multiple nights in NYC, LA, Chicago, and Toronto. High profile national television appearances include performances on NBC's TODAY, ABC's Good Morning America, nationally syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan, and more. Press highlights include features in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, and TIME among others.
