"Renegades" is a single from X Ambassador's forthcoming debut album, VHS, which will be released on June 30. The success of the track has been buoyed by a commercial for the Jeep Renegade. The spot prominently features both the song and the band members.
X Renegades will be touring in support of VHS throughout the summer, including dates with Milky Chance and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness.
Meanwhile, over on Mainstream Rock Songs, Breaking Benjamin's comeback single "Failure" retains the number-one spot, expanding its reign atop the chart to six consecutive weeks. "Failure" is the lead single from Dark Before Dawn, Breaking Benjamin's first album in six years. Dark Before Dawn will be released on June 23.
