Update: It is now online.

The Wal-Mart exclusive voicetone for "Don't Talk, Just Listen" is supposed to be at http://www.b5online.com/walmart. But, that is currently a dead link. I've been in contact with someone in mobile promotions at Atlantic and hope to know more soon. I imagine that it it isn't up today, it'll be up within a week or two.

That said, it's just plain bad that Bad Boy/whoever doesn't have these mobile exclusives online on the day that you can buy the album. In a market where it's hard enough to sell CDs, you don't need to do things that make consumers feel like they've been taken. That's not what Bad Boy is going, but it's how people will feel. Anyway, hopefully it'll be up soon.

Back when we broke the new tracklisting, I guessed that "Rockstar" may be a hidden track in the vein of "Sleep On It" from Danity Kane's album. That's exactly how it worked out. Donnie mentioned it earlier today and I have a copy in my hands now, so I can confirm that that is the case.

This explains the long track time of "Things I Would Do" listed on various sites. If you check out iTunes, you can buy "Rockstar" by itself, as well.

Today marks the release of B5's sophomore album, "Don't Talk, Just Listen". Buy it now at Amazon.com.

Tracklisting:

1. "Hydrolics" featuring Bow Wow and Diddy
2. "How You Not Gonna"
3. "Right to Left"
4. "Erika Kane"
5. "Got It Like That"
6. "Tear Drops"
7. "In My Bedroom"
8. "All Over Again"
9. "What it Do"
10. "No One Else"
11. "I Must Love Drama"
12. "So Incredible"
13. "Things I Would Do"

"Rockstar" is supposed to be a bonus track, but I am unsure as to where that will come in. I asked B5's management on Sunday and they weren't even sure. So, we'll see. Circuit City has an exclusive bonus track (perhaps "Rockstar", perhaps not) while Wal-Mart has an exclusive voice tone. Both can be purchased online.

Just a note of update: the prizes on the prizes page are accurate. For more on B5 mobile trading cards, please see my previous post on them.

Just as with Joc, B5 has a mobile trading cards program at http://cards.b5online.com. And, also just like with Joc, they are running a giveaway. The prizes page says that if you collect all 40 cards, you will be entered into a drawing from which 10 people will be chosen to receive a phone call from B5. They also list 25 instant winner prizes of a B5 poster.

However, that's not what the rules page says. The rules state that there will be a grand prize of $1,000 cash, 10 second place prizes of a phone call from B5 and 50 instant winners of an autographed B5 poster. I'll hopefully know what the official prizes are soon and we'll have an update then.

Update: The prizes on the prize page are the correct ones.

"Don't Talk, Just Listen" will have 2 bonus editions (that I know of at this moment).

Wal-Mart will have an exclusive B5 voicetone.

Circuit City will have an exclusive bonus track. No word on what that track is, but I'll find out and report back as soon as I do.

It doesn't appear that Best Buy, K-Mart or Target are doing anything - B5 isn't featured in their fliers, even, let alone with any bonus material.
