''RIOT!'' is the second release from the band Paramore , and was released in the United States on 12 June 2007 and in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2007 .

The album was recorded in New Jersey with producer David Bendeth. The band decided to call the album ''RIOT!'' because they liked its definition:

: "A sudden outburst of uncontrolled emotion."1

''Riot!'' sold about 44,000 albums in the U.S. in its first week, debuting at number #20 on the Billboard 200 .2 Nearly 3 months later, it rose to #15 for the Billboard week dated September 1, 2007. That same week, the lead single, "Misery Business" bolted to #34 as a re-entry on the Hot 100. ''Riot!'' also achieved success in the UK and reached #24 on the albums chart. The album has since sold 192,887 copies in the Unites States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The albums cover is very remnescent to No Doubt 's Rock Steady .

THE LAST SONG YOU'LL EVER SING

In early 2007, a contest was held where fans could put covers of Paramore's songs on YouTube. The winners were given the opportunity to meet the band and sing background vocals on "Born For This". The Last Song You'll Ever Sing is a line from the song. The contest winner was Mary Bonney, who attends the College of William and Mary in Virginia.5


BORN FOR THIS

The song 'Born For This' uses the line 'We want the airwaves back' from the Refused song 'Liberation Frequency'. Hayley has previously cited Refused to be one of her favorite bands.
