INFORUM reports that Day26 will be performing in Fargo, ND on May 14 at The Venue at the Hub. It's an all-ages show and tickets will be going on sale on Monday. You can buy them from The Venue or from Jade Presents.
Tara Hall of LiveDaily has an interview with Day26.
"That was one of the songs we showed him at his house and that's one of the songs that he stood up and was dancing around to," Mosley said. "After that, he wanted to jump on the record, and then Joc heard and Joc wanted to jump on the record."
Soon, other special guests were on board, including established rappers Jermaine Dupri and T-Pain.
"T-Pain, he's killing the game right now, and JD's just a legend in the game, so just to be in his presence and recording at So So Def Studios [Dupri's label and studio] and the whole nine yards--it was just crazy chemistry. JD opened his arms up to us. T-Pain had written it for us and had already laid his part, so we didn't actually get a chance to work in the studio with T-Pain on that record, but it was hand-written for us and he definitely wanted us to do it and we did it and it came out crazy."
Clizbeats.com has an audio interview, as well.
Here's a similar video, released previously:
Day26's "Forever in a Day," which had been projected to sell just under 100,000 copies, exceed expectations by moving 113,000 units, reports Billboard. This was good enough for the number 2 spot on The Billboard 200, behind the soundtrack to "Hannah Montana: The Movie," which sold 133,000 copies. This assures the group the top spot on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, as well.
Brian Angel of Day26 has closed his Twitter account, as he said he would. The account's username had been brianangelday26.
Late Sunday night, Eastern Time, Brian posted a number of tweets regarding his decision to close the account, with some hint to reasoning. Here is the string of messages:
YEAH SORRY TO SAY TONIGHT IS MT LASTNIGHT AS A TWITTER FOLK I LOVE YOU ALL
BUT IT BECOMES DIFFERENT WHEN MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ETC...... EFFECTS YOUR PERSONAL LIVE....
HATERS ARE EVERYWHERE.... FOR WHAT REASON... I DON'T KNOW BUT BLAME IT ON THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!
IT'S REALLY AFFECTING MY PERSONAL LIFE SOOOOO... I'D RATHER NIP IT IN THE BUD NOW BEFORE IT GET ANY WORSE
It's unfortunate that he felt the need to do this. All means of communication and interaction, online and offline, can have a negative impact on your personal life. But, you have to work to separate them and to keep them in the proper context. Twitter is a great tool to communicate with fans through, but there will also be negative people, as with any other means of communication. If you want to use the service, you have to be able to look past it. Hopefully, Brian will be back at some point.
Check out the WPIX-TV blog for a video from the group's performance there a week ago. They performed a no rap version of "Imma Put It On Her."
Surprisingly, it looks like they are still working the routine out because they danced for the first 35 seconds before Will went into his vocals. It was a little odd, but I presume they'll tighten it up.
From Billboard's Silvio Pietroluongo:
On Nielsen SoundScan's Building chart, released today (April 15), which reflected unweighted sales through the close of business on April 14, Day26's set is leading the way, but only by a slight margin. Industry prognosticators project the Bad Boy album to sell just south of 100,000 units. Estimates for "Unstoppable" and "Hannah Montana" are closer to 125,000. A media blitz by Rascal Flatts this week ("Ellen," "Dancing With The Stars" and "Late Show With David Letterman") and another strong box office showing for the Miley Cyrus film should keep sales of both albums steady throughout the tracking period, which ends on Sunday.
This is just a projection, though. It'd be a good number, but they could sell more or they could sell less. It seems as though they are generally being written off as far as the number one slot. Still, stranger things have happened.
There is a brief feature on Day26 in The Wichita Eagle, talking about the group's appearance at the Wichita Unity Ball.
"We're so happy we had so much control," [Robert] Curry said of the group's ownership of the album, which included writing, arranging and producing.
"We owned it," [Michael] McCluney said.
As reported on Sunday, Target is offering an exclusive DVD with Day26's "Forever in a Day." I just finished watching it.
There are two features: "Beyond the Photoshoot" and "Get to Know Day26." The former is actually available online. Of course, the DVD in is better quality.
For the second feature, the guys answer various questions related to the album, Making the Band and other subjects. During this, Rob mentions that he wrote "Honest," the iTunes exclusive bonus track. So, I'd say it's a must have for any big Day26 fans.
