According to
Atlantic Records:
An out-of-the-box phenomenon at retail, DANITY KANE, which hit stores just two days ago, sold nearly 90,000 units in its first day of release, selling out at most stores across the country.
'The formula works like this: Diddy, Bad Boy Records, talented and beautiful artists, and the marketing strategy,' said Steve Lerner, Circuit City's Senior National Buyer/Music. 'It’s the culmination of many factors, and Danity Kane actually brings back the excitement of what the music business is all about - Artist Development!'
'Danity 'Co-Kane'… people are fiendin' for it!' commented Violet Brown, Director of Urban Music for Trans World Entertainment. 'It is great to have a new title of this magnitude!'
DANITY KANE' is already the #1 album on iTunes, with an average fan ranking of 4-and-a-half stars (out of 5). More than 300 fans have reviewed the album. The album's Jim Jonsin-produced first single, 'Show Stopper,' is #3 on iTunes, just behind singles from Justin Timberlake and Fergie, and debuted at #5 on SoundScan’s Digital Song Chart, selling more than 55,000 units. Danity Kane is the #5 most searched artist on Yahoo! and ranks at #2 on MySpace with 12.5 million streams. The group has three additional songs on the iTunes Top 100 chart-'Sleep on It', 'Ride For You', and 'One Shot'.
This is going to be the 4th straight Bad Boy release with impressive opening numbers.
