Bad Boy recording group Day26 has announced the release of their hugely anticipated second album. “FOREVER IN A DAY” – which follows the Making The Band 4 stars’ self-titled Billboard 200-topping 2008 debut – arrives in stores and all online retailers on April 14th.

“FOREVER IN A DAY” will be heralded by the first single, “Imma Put It On Her (Feat. Yung Joc and Diddy).” The track will be available at all DSPs on March 31st . What’s more, the album track “Stadium Music” – which served as the theme song during the first three episodes of Diddy and MTV’s blockbuster reality series, Making The Band 4: Season 3, Part 2 – is on sale now at digital retailers everywhere. “Imma Put It On Her” takes over theme song duties on the ratings juggernaut beginning with Episode 4, airing March 5th. Videos for both songs are currently in production and will debut in the coming weeks.

This “bonus season” of MTV’s Making The Band 4 has just gotten underway, with new episodes airing Thursdays at 9:00 PM ET/PT (check local listings). The current series follows Day26 as they write and record “FOREVER IN A DAY.” The season finale airs on April 16th.

Day26 – Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley (a.k.a. “Que”), Robert Curry, and Willie Taylor – will celebrate the album’s release with a national promotional tour, set to kick off in late-March. The schedule – dubbed “26 Days of Day26” – will visit each of the group members’ hometowns, as well as major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago, among others.

Last year saw “DAY26” enter the record books as the biggest-selling debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of SoundScan. The album – which includes the hit singles, “Got Me Going” and “Since You Been Gone” – exploded into the #1 spot on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 in its first week of release, while also topping Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart.

Executive Produced by Bad Boy CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre, “DAY26” was recorded in just three short weeks. The five gifted performers were chosen by Diddy and MTV viewers around the world on 2007’s record-shattering Making The Band 4 “Season One” finale.

Day26 followed the album’s out-of-the-box success with a featured role on “P. Diddy Presents The Making The Band 4 Tour,” a major North American concert tour which was the centerpiece of Making the Band 4: Season 3 and saw the quintet sharing arena stages coast-to-coast with their MTB4 co-stars Danity Kane and Donnie Klang.

DH!: Another thing I liked was that you put out the single, then you put out the album. Who's behind what single gets chosen, you know who has input on that?

Brian: Usually it's the label that makes those decisions. This time around, we had a bit more of a hand in the single selection. We record songs all the time and if we've felt like we found a single, we present it to Diddy. He had our backs. Everyone comes together and brainstorms and comes up with the best choice. It's definitely more of a group decision amongst everyone this time around.
