The Script, who has toured South Africa twice with sold-out tours, consists of members Danny O'Donoghue (vocals), Mark Sheehan (guitar), and Glen Power (drums). After reaching number 15 in the charts with their 2008 debut single We Cry, their second single The Man Who Can't Be Moved peaked at number two. Their debut album The Script was released on 11 August 2008 and went straight to number one on iTunes, both in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Their new album Freedom Child has topped the UK Official Albums Chart, seeing off competition from LCD Soundsystem and OMD. The number one sees The Script score their fourth number one album in the UK. Freedom Child also topped the iTunes chart in their native Ireland, as well as a further 13 countries. They also entered the Top 10 on iTunes in 47 markets around the globe.

“You guys may never understand how happy we are to have achieved our fourth number one album. You see, we've worked so hard on it and ultimately the fans decided whether it's a strong album or not. We're so so lucky and are humbled by it,” said the band on their number one album win.

Freedom Child sees the band presenting a collection of urgent, timely, future-facing anthems that speak of both real-life events and real-time sonic adventurism. The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles and for the first time, the band chose to work with some outside writers and producers including Toby Gad and Nasri Atweh.

The first single from Freedom Child, Rain, was immediately added to playlists up and down the country and stormed straight into the Top 10 on iTunes. Rain is picking up a phenomenal amount of support around the world - it has been playlisted by Radio 1, Radio 2, Capital as well as 947 and 94.5 KFM in South Africa and is currently the third most played song on national radio. It’s also been added to over 300 playlists on Spotify and the video has already been viewed over 10 million times.
