As many of already know Danity Kane released their self titled debut cd this past Tuesday (August 22nd). I remember checking MTV News for information on the release and there was very little. Here is what they reported... Danity Kane: Will the latest "Making the Band" act make bank with its debut? The self-titled affair isn't just backed by executive producer Diddy, though: Also sharing their wisdom with the newcomers are Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Mario Winans and Bryan-Michael Cox, all of whom spend some time behind the boards. Not much coverage for a group that has members that toiled for three seasons on the network. WAIT! Check out my exclusive interview with DANITY KANE filmed at Daddy's House in NYC. Well yesterday Atlantic Records released a statement championing their first week sales. Here are few excerpts: Bad Boy Records' red-hot girl group Danity Kane, stars of the hit MTV series "Making the Band 3," have exploded at retail outlets nationwide with their debut album, "DANITY KANE." The multi-talented quintet is the music industry's newest Cinderella story, as Danity Kane is now neck and neck with veterans OutKast and Christina Aguilera for the top spot on next week's national album chart. Danity Kane's first-week sales triumph is unprecedented for a new artist with little radio or video airplay. Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs commented: "Many people wrote off these girls as just a 'made-for-TV' group, but I believed in their talent from the beginning. The fans have spoken, and with their love and support, Danity Kane's dream is coming true. Sometimes word of mouth is better than radio and video play. This is the best kind of success, one that comes straight from the people." 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. Next week we'll be tracking first week sales, trust me. And speaking of all girl bands, all this DK, DC talk has me wondering what Kelly Rowland has been upto. Apparently she is releasing new music somewhere. Listen to our new joint of the day "Every Thought Is U (Addicted)":
