ALICE IN CHAINS have earned a Grammy nomination for "Best Hard Rock Performance" for "Check My Brain," the No. 1 hit single from the band's new album BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE.

Fueled by the chart-topping track, which hit No. 1 on the Modern, Active and Rock formats and was hailed by Spin magazine as "one of the catchiest songs of Alice In Chains' history," the album entered Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 5, with first-week sales exceeding 126,000 copies.
