This find-a-new-singer-on-TV thing just might work out for INXS.
The veteran Aussie band, which selected its new lead singer on CBS' "Rock Star" this summer, found its latest single in the Billboard top 40 this week.
The song, "Pretty Vegas," entered the Hot 100 singles chart at No. 37, the best debut ever for the band. It's also the only new song in the top 50 this week.
"Pretty Vegas" is the first song INXS recorded with new singer J.D. Fortune, the 31-year-old Canadian who beat out Marty Casey in the finale of "Rock Star" to win the frontman job.
INXS has been without a full-time lead singer since the death of Michael Hutchence nearly eight years ago.
The Hot 100 chart measures the popularity of singles by a combination of radio airplay and sales data.
"Rock Star" was not a breakout hit for CBS this summer, but it gained a loyal following thanks largely to the strength of the 15 finalists vying for the spot in the band. Performance episodes averaged about 6.3 million viewers (the finale drew close to 8 million), while the results shows drew about 5.4 million.
INXS' album with Fortune, "Switch," is set to hit stores Nov. 29.
