Lady Antebellum announced today that their third Capitol Nashville studio album Own The Night will be released on Sept. 13, 2011. It’s the first major album release date set for the fourth quarter, hoping to score with holiday shoppers.

The project’s lead single “Just A Kiss” is the trio’s fastest rising single to date, climbing into the Top 15 on Billboard’s Country Singles chart in five weeks.

Own The Night follows the band’s monster sophomore release Need You Now. Since debuting in January 2010, that album has sold over five million copies worldwide, spawned three multi-week No. 1 hits (“Need You Now,” “American Honey,” “Our Kind of Love”), taken home five Grammys, and a dozen other trophies.
