This is pretty cool. The New York Times reports on Wednesday at the MSG during Mariah Carey concert, she performed Honey, bringing Diddy on stage to take it back to '97. I'm sure that was a pretty neat performance. Maybe they'll release a video of it or something.
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.
According to Diddy:
For my part, I called 3 Target's in Charleston, SC because I had a friend there who was gonna pick it up for me. They were all sold out. I've been reading various forums and various posters have been reporting a lot of sellouts. We'll have to see how this shakes out.

According to a news item at the official site, Yung Joc will be performing at the NFL Kickoff concert, along with Diddy and Cassie.

The official site has a couple of news items with new Cassie and Yung Joc appearances. They're coming to CT, MA, NY, SC and GA.
With the latest Hot 100 chart, I noticed that New Joc City had 2 songs reach the top 19 ("It's Goin' Down" reached #3 and "I Know You See It" is now at #19). This is a big deal and no small feat (for any label). But, for Bad Boy, this is the first album to do this since "We Invented the Remix" which had "I Need a Girl (Part Two)" (#4) and "I Need a Girl (Part One)" (#2). Congrats.
Pretty cool stuff. Bad Boy's been hitting the charts in a big way this year. The latest Hot 100 charts have "Me & U" slipping to #6 and and "It's Goin' Down" slipping to #20. However, "I Know You See It" jumped from #22 to #19 and "Show Stopper" debuted at #17.

From what I am reading around the web, the Target exclusive is a DVD with some "making of" features. These include the making of Danity Kane (which includes some more background on the album and the group name, etc.) and then a making of the Show Stopper music video.
The latest SoundScan numbers are in and Cassie dropped by more than half, moving 40,814 units to make it 141,188 units in all. Joc fell a little as well, down to 33,789. Still, that's enough to give him over 600,000 sold. 605,874 to be exact.
From contactmusic.com:
ME+ U singer CASSIE credits SEAN COMBS with her new-found confidence on stage, insisting she'll never care what others think of her again.
