2 days before the release of the new album 'Battle For The Sun', PLACEBO are enteringВ our Tuborg Top 40 Mega Rock chart with the first single - 'For What It's Worth'.

PLACEBO will be our Jack Daniel's band N 1 next week.

The album was produced by David Bottrill and wil be the follow-up to 2006's 'Meds'. The record will be the first to feature new drummer Steve Forrest.

The band have signed with [PIAS], a European entertainment group they will now release their music through.

In a statement frontman Brian Molko said, "We were very lucky to have so many great labels interested in signing us, it means a lot, especially after 12 years of releasing records!

"But we now feel we have the right partner for Europe in these ever-changing times to continue this crazy adventure and to scale even dizzier heights with our new record."
