Data Insight

Urie is on all eleven tracks and every one of them adds outside writers, which is the exact opposite of the debut. Jake Sinclair is on nine, Sam Hollander on four, and Morgan Kibby, Lauren Pritchard and Mike Viola turn up across the rest. The band credit is gone entirely and a co-writing team has replaced it.

Death of a Bachelor is the first Panic! album made by Brendon Urie alone, released in January 2016. It entered the Billboard 200 at number one with 190,000 album units and is certified double platinum.
