Aussie brother/sister folk duo Angus & Julia Stone debuted on the American Billboard Charts today at #19 on the Heatseeker Chart and #8 the Folk Chart with sophomore album Down The Way, nearly doubling the sales of their debut album A Book Like This just over a year ago. In Canada, the pair made their first ever appearance on the Canadian Soundscan Album Chart, coming in at #118 overall with 468 copies of Down The Way sold. They also landed at #80 on the Quebec overall chart, where over half of the total album sales in Canada came from; this continues on the success of their debut album, which has sold nearly 3,000 copies in Canada since its release in early 2009. 

This exciting North American news comes on the heels of the duo holding the #1 spot for two weeks on the Australian charts with record breaking numbers for 2010, ahead of the Gorillaz, Vampire Weekend and Lady Gaga; The Stone's went GOLD in Australia in less than two weeks. Grab a copy of the album now on iTunes or at Amazon. 

Angus & Julia Stone are currently on tour, charming sold out crowds from Australia to the UK with their enchanting live set.  The pair recently announced new North American tour dates, including a stop in Manchester, TN on June 12 for their Bonnaroo debut and their first show ever in Montreal.  A second New York City show was also just added at Tribeca’s 92Y.
