During 2009, they played some small concerts in New York City and then opened for The Veronicas on their North American tour.[1] Following the end of that tour, Interscope Records signed a record deal with the band.[1] Their debut single was "Make Me Wanna Die", which became a top-20 hit on the UK Singles Chart.[2] The song was eventually featured on their debut studio album, Light Me Up, released in August 2010. The album had sold over one million units in combined singles and albums sales as of January 2014.[3] In March 2012, the band released their second extended play, Hit Me Like a Man EP, which included three original tracks.[4]
In 2013, The Pretty Reckless signed with label Razor & Tie to release their second studio album, Going to Hell, in March 2014.[5] The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200,[6] spawned five singles, of which three topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart—"Heaven Knows", "Messed Up World (F'd Up World)", and "Follow Me Down".[7] In October 2016, the band released a follow-up album, Who You Selling For, which peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200.[6] Its lead single, "Take Me Down", topped the US Mainstream Rock chart, making The Pretty Reckless the first act to send its first four entries to number one on that chart, as well as the female-fronted group with the most number ones.[8] Their fourth album Death by Rock and Roll is set to be released in February 2021, and its title track and lead single also became their fifth US Mainstream Rock number one, setting a new record for female-fronted groups.[9] The song also gave the band their first number one on Billboard's Canada Rock chart.[10]
