"This is a rare and highly significant landmark that few rock bands have managed to achieve," said Steve Berman, President, Marketing and Sales, Interscope Geffen A&M. "The longevity of 'Dirty Little Secret' online is yet another example of the strategic value of the internet to an increasingly wider spectrum of fans and consumers. As we move further into the digital era, the advent of a million-selling download will continue to take on increasing importance in the web marketplace."

"Dirty Little Secret" peaked at #4 on the Billboard Top 40 Airplay chart, while the video spent 6 months in heavy rotation at MTV, VH1 and Fuse. The video has had over 13 million total streams and on-demand viewings on Yahoo! music since its release. "Dirty Little Secret" spent 9 consecutive weeks in the top 10 on soundscan's digital song chart. The current single, the title track "Move Along" holds strong at #11 on the Top 40 Monitor, and topped at #5 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart (where it is closing in on its 500,000 download). The video spent 5 months (and counting) in heavy rotation at MTV (including 35 days on TRL), VH1 and Fuse. It has also had over 3 million total streams and on-demand viewings on Yahoo! music. It was directed by Marc Webb (credits: Weezer's "Perfect Situation," Ashlee Simpson's "Boyfriend," and My Chemical Romance's "The Ghost of You" and "Helena").

The All-American Rejects recently wrapped up their first major North American arena tour of 2006, the 2-month, "Black Clouds And Underdogs Tour" with Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, and From First To Last. From city to city, the 'underdogs' swept away audiences -- "The most uplifting and original band of the night was The All-American Rejects" (The Buffalo News); "... the Rejects were the shining gem of the night" (The Ledger, Tampa); "... frontman Tyson Ritter is a star in absolute bloom (The Dallas Morning News).
