DAY26 TOPS THE CHARTS
Diddy and Bad Boy Records top the SoundScan / Billboard 200 album chart for the second consecutive week as Day26's self-titled debut album explodes into the #1 spot in its first week in release. The #1 chart entry follows last week's top-charting debut for Danity Kane's smash second Bad Boy album, Welcome to the Dollhouse. Day26 also debuts at #1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #3 on SoundScan's Digital Albums chart.
With total sales exceeding 190,000, Day26, which features the current hit, "Got Me Going" and the upcoming single, "Since You Been Gone," officially logged the biggest-selling debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of SoundScan.
"We just want to offer love and thanks to our many fans for making this band America's #1 group," said Day26, a.k.a. Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley (a.k.a. Q), Robert Curry, and Willie Taylor. "Of course, our endless gratitude goes out to our families and our friends at Bad Boy and Atlantic Records for helping us to achieve success that's already beyond our wildest dreams."
