July 10, 2007 – Recording Duo Aly & AJ Release Their Third Album Insomniatic Through Hollywood Records
“I am erratic, can’t break the habit, my current status to you I’m insomniatic.”
On July 10, 2007, the third studio album by recording duo Aly & AJ, entitled Insomniatic, was released through Hollywood Records. This would be the last release through the label, and after its release, the duo changed their recording name to 78violet. The name of the album was a word the duo created to describe “a state of mind where one becomes addicted to the deprivation of sleep caused by an epic revelation of joy.” The album had two singles released to promote it: “Potential Breakup Song,” released June 26th; and “Like Whoa,” released January 21, 2008. The album features an electronic rock sound, with many of the songs lyrics featuring heartache and loss. The album was well received by critics, and peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Charts, selling over 39,000 albums in the first week.
