In 2004, Hanson started adding “solo songs” into their sets with only one brother on stage. For most of the RGB tour – each brother took the stage for a solo song, which was appropriate given the way the RGB album came together. Here is a breakdown of the songs each brother did solo, by leg of the tour.
And since it is the season of pie (at least in the US!) Click to see a pie chart breakdown of solos played over the course of the entire tour.
The RGB Tour is now complete. One of Hanson’s longest tour it lasted 6 months, 89 dates in 20 countries. While the tour stats are available always on the “Shows played live by tour” page, we have also recently added a page that will show you your personal stats for each tour and the shows you’ve seen. How do your stats match up to the over all? Did you manage to catch any songs that were only played once throughout the course of the tour? What songs did you miss that you wish you had heard?

WEEKLY PIC
This week we will conclude an amazing tour of Australia and New Zealand and it did not disappoint. We can’t imagine a better way to to complete the amazing 100+ concerts this year with this run down under.
Happy birthday to Isaac Hanson, who turns 42 years old on Thursday.
More than 25 years after Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson’s first performance at Mayfest, they have seen the world, played “MMMBop” more times than they can fathom and built an enormous and fervent fanbase.
The creativity of the Tulsa-native brothers, so many years after they started their career as pre-teens, shows no signs of slowing.
Take a look back at photos of them through the years.

Amy Shark unveiled her next era of music last month, but a collaboration with Hanson never seemed on the cards.
On Fifi, Fev & Nick on Melbourne’s 101.9 The Fox this morning, Amy performed exclusively with the beloved boyband.
And you don’t need three guesses to work out which song they sung together: Amy and Hanson performed a fun rendition of the latter’s classic hit ‘MMMBop’, which catapulted the trio of brothers to global fame in 1997.
“I loved guys with long hair all my life, from Hanson to Daniel Johns,” Amy said before the performance. “I’m really, really pumped.” You can check out a snippet of Amy and Hanson’s performance below, and listen to the full thing here.
The singer-songwriter also discussed missing the ARIA Awards next week with the radio hosts. She revealed earlier this week that she wouldn’t be attending the ceremony due to looking after her nan while her carer is overseas.
Amy is nominated this year for Best Australian Live Act, which is one of the awards voted for by the public. It’s set to be one of the most fiercely contested categories, however, with names like Gangs of Youth, Amyl and the Sniffers, Genesis Owusu, and even The Wiggles in contention.
Hanson, meanwhile, have spent November on tour in Australia, selling out venues across the country. The band were touring in celebration of 30 years in music and their new album RED GREEN BLUE, released earlier this year. Their 11th studio album contains a unique combination of three solo-led projects wrapped in one release, featuring Taylor Hanson’s Red, Isaac Hanson’s Green, and Zac Hanson’s Blue.
In other Amy Shark news, she released a cover of a Christmas classic last week, getting in the festive mood very early. She took on Coldplay’s ‘Christmas Lights’ for the Amazon Music series, one of the only Christmas songs to earn plaudits in the modern era.
For more on this topic, follow the Pop Observer.
In a radio first for Nova 106.9, the three brothers who burst onto the pop scene in the 90s – and became the global phenomenon Hanson – took over the Ash, Luttsy and Susie O’Neill Breakfast Show this week.
Isaac, Taylor and Zac spun tracks and shared stories about their 20-plus year career, also giving listeners the chance to get on their guest list for their show that night at The Fortitude Valley Music Hall.
The Hanson brothers achieved world-wide stardom when their first single MMMBop went to No. 1 across the globe.
Isaac, Taylor and Zac will tour Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland in support of their new album RED GREEN BLUE (3CG Records).
The radio show takeover was a case of perfect timing, with the launch of Ash, Luttsy & Susie O’Neill’s epic Throwback Throwdown Party on Thursday 1st December at Superfly Disco, Fortitude Valley.
Ash, Luttsy and Susie are inviting listeners to their big end-of-year celebration. Hanson handed out the very first official invite to a lucky listener on Monday morning.
