The Beach Boys have performed more than 50 concerts since April and had their highest-ever debut on Billboard's albums chart in June with their critically acclaimed new studio release, That's Why God Made The Radio. The Beach Boys' 50th Anniversary celebration continues with the recent release of their 50th Anniversary Greatest Hits collection featuring 20 of the band's most popular songs that is not available on itunes.com.

The Beach Boys were recently recognized at The GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles that launched Beach Boys 50th Anniversary exhibit with 'An Evening With The Beach Boys,' a public event featuring a Q&A and acoustic performance by BrIan Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks (www.grammymuseum.org).

Beach Boys BrIan Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks have reunited this past year for a major, international 50th Anniversary Tour and That's Why God Made The Radio, the first studio album of new, original Beach Boys songs to feature all of the band's surviving original members since 1989's Still Cruisin'. Produced by BrIan Wilson and executive produced by Mike Love, the album debuted at #3 on Billboard's Albums chart and has been received with great excitement and praise from the world's leading media outlets and fans old and new. In recent reviews, Rolling Stone hailed the album as "a breezy nostalgia trip" and "deeply touching work," People magazine praised its "intricately layered, swoon-worthy harmonies," and the Associated Press said, "The songs harken back to a simpler time when people wore Huarache sandals, polished their surfboards, and raced their hot rods."

For five decades, America's first pop band to reach the 50 year milestone has recorded and performed the music that has become the world's favorite soundtrack to summer. Founded in Hawthorne, California in 1961, The Beach Boys were originally comprised of the three teenagEd Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine. In 1962, neighbor David Marks joined the group for their first wave of hits with Capitol Records, leaving in late 1963, and in 1965, Bruce Johnston joined the band when BrIan Wilson retired from touring to focus on writing and producing for the group.

The Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. The album spent 37 weeks on the Billboard chart, launching the young group known for its shimmering vocal harmonies and relaxed California style into international stardom. The Wilson/Love collaboration resulted in many huge international chart hits, and under BrIan Wilson's musical leadership, the band's initial surf-rock focus was soon broadened to include other themes, making The Beach Boys America's preeminent band of the 1960s.
In 1966, The Beach Boys were one of the first bands to found its own record label with the launch of Brother Records, Inc. (BRI), with the band's members as its shareholders and Capitol Records as its distribution partner. BRI continues to manage The Beach Boys' intellectual property, including the band's catalog with Capitol/EMI and other label partners, as well as its name, logos, image and likeness.

The Beach Boys continue to hold Billboard / Nielsen SoundScan's record as the top-selling American band for albums and singles, and they are also the American group with the most Billboard Top 40 chart hits (36). 'Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys' has achieved triple-Platinum sales status, and 'The SMiLE Sessions,' released to worldwide critical acclaim in November, was heralded as 2011's #1 Reissue of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and recipients of The Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, The Beach Boys are an American institution that is iconic around the world.
