NEW YORK, April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ting Tings latest single, "That's Not My Name" is shaping up to be a Top 40 hit with an audience of over 5 million people listening on over 130 stations across the United States. "That's Not My Name" has been certified Gold for sales in excess of over 616,000 digital singles sold. This follows the band's certified Gold single "Shut Up And Let Me Go," which has sold in excess of 800,000 digital singles. A video for "That's Not My Name" was directed by Alex & Liane (Bloc Party, Sam Sparro) and is currently #17 on VH1's Top 20 Countdown. Billboard Magazine proclaimed "'That's Not My Name' is a sassy singalong anthem," while the New York Times called it "the band's most irresistible track so far."
