The Veronicas June 18, 2009

Already massive pop stars in their native Australia, 24-year-old twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, known as The Veronicas, spent most of 2008 winning over legions of new fans while on the road with Natasha Bedingfield, Hanson, and the Jonas Brothers in support of their red-hot second album "Hook Me Up." Clearly, all their hard work has paid off. “Untouched,” the first single from the electro-rock sizzler "Hook Me Up," which was released by Sire Records in August 2008, is currently No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and shows no signs of slowing down. The eye-popping video debuted at No. 10 on TRL’s Top 10 Video Countdown in July, and landed the girls a performance slot on the show, as well as an “Incoming Artist” feature on the Fuse Network in August. In October, the girls launched their first-ever web series, entitled Untouched, exclusively on their Yahoo! Music web channel. The weekly series chronicles Lisa and Jessica’s journey to stardom in the U.S. and gives viewers an inside look into how they became superstars Down Under, where Hook Me Up has gone triple-platinum and spawned two Top 5 singles, including their first No. 1 for the title track. All the activity has led to “Untouched” video racking up more than 4.6 million views on YouTube and more than 8 million views for all their video clips combined, while the “Untouched” audio track posted on their MySpace page has attracted more than 11 million plays.
