Exactly 5 years ago on this day, on June 21st 2011, Simple Plan released their 4th studio album – ‘Get Your Heart On!’.

To this day, GYHO [as fans like to shorten it] has the highest amount of collaborations on any Simple Plan album. These collaborations include Marie-Mai and Natasha Bedingfield [and other live singers] on ‘Jet Lag’, Sean Paul, K’Naan, MKTO and other on the many versions of ‘Summer Paradise’, Alex Gaskarth on ‘Freaking Me Out’ and Rivers Cuomo on ‘Can’t Keep My Hands Off You’.

Two years later (in 2013), GYHO got a little baby brother in a form of an EP called ‘Get Your Heart On – The Second Coming’, which featured a number of b-sides from the writing process of GYHO.

Can you believe you’ve been listening to this record for 5 years now? What is you favorite song?

Yes! Simple Plan’s long awaited official first single and its accompanying music video will be released this coming Friday, October 16th. The song, which currently hides under the shortcut “Bed” in the hashtag the band promotes it with (#SPBed), will be hitting the internet in a form of a music video that the band shot in August and about which Jeff has already mentioned that it’s “kind of a spoof on a funny TV show”.

Well, from the just released promotional stills from the music video that the guys posted on Instagram, we can already guess which TV show the guys might be making fun of (am I right?)… :)

Are you excited for the new music?

The Canadian server CBC.ca finally revealed the complete list of the Top 100 most popular Canadian songs from 2001 to the present day. This list was established by Nielsen Soundscan, which tracked the amount of radio plays each and every song gots across the country during the era of the new millenium (between January 1st 2001 till now).

According to this interesting list, not just one – but two Simple Plan songs are among the most popular Canadian songs on the radio. Interestingly, both songs were released on Simple Plan’s (so far) last studio album Get Your Heart On! (2011) – namely “Summer Paradise”, which reached no. 30 and “Jet Lag” on no. 59.

Congratulations, Simple Plan!

That’s right! Today, we commemorate the 4th anniversary of Simple Plan’s last studio album, which was released on June 21st 2011, called “Get Your Heart On!”.

This album, which has been certified gold in Canada, is mostly known for singles such as Jet Lag, Astronaut, Summer Paradise and This Song Saved My Life. Out of these four, Summer Paradise was the one to bring the most attention from all over the world, mostly due to its many versions. Some of the songs that didn’t make it to this particular album, have been later released in 2013 in the EP “Get Your Heart On: The Second Coming”.

Luckily, the fans don’t have to wait much longer for the band’s next album, as the they will be releasing it in just a few months, with the first single coming up in the next couple of days.
