Strong radio airplay, well-received shows on tour dates with Justin Timberlake and high-profile TV performances on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno and the Tyra Banks Show are fueling the momentum of Good Charlotte’s latest single “I Don't Wanna Be
In Love (Dance Floor Anthem)” from their latest album ‘Good Morning Revival’ - which is quickly rising on the Billboard “Hot 100” singles chart.

The digital single for the strongly melodic and up-tempo pop song “I Don't Wanna Be in Love (Dance Floor Anthem)” breaks through the 20,000 downloads sold a week thanks to constantly increasing radio and backed by tremendous research from listeners.

On Thursday, November 1, Benji and Joel Madden, the band's guitarist and lead-singer respectively, will be presenters at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich, Germany where the group has just garnered a nomination as "Band of 2007."

A busy touring schedule sees Good Charlotte heading to Australia - where their new album is nearing double-platinum - for a sold-out headlining tour in mid-October in support of their fourth album ‘Good Morning Revival’ (Epic/Daylight), fresh off an eight-week North American trek with Justin Timberlake.
