With total sales exceeding 190,000, "DAY26" -- which features the current hit, "Got Me Going" and the upcoming single, "Since You Been Gone" -- officially logged the biggest-selling debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of SoundScan.
"We just want to offer love and thanks to our many fans for making this band America's #1 group," said Day26, a.k.a. Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley (a.k.a. "Q"), Robert Curry, and Willie Taylor. "Of course, our endless gratitude goes out to our families and our friends at Bad Boy and Atlantic Records for helping us to achieve success that's already beyond our wildest dreams."
Congrats MTV, Bad Boy Records plus both Danity Kane and Day26.
For the second time Danity Kane's new album debut on top of the charts. "Welcome to the Dollhouse" was atop the SoundScan/Billboard 200 album chart. The sophomore DK album sold 236,000 units in their first week.
"Over the past few years, I have not only been on a mission to make the bands, I have been on a mission to build careers. The triumphant number one return of Danity Kane is dramatic proof that we are achieving our goal.
"With Welcome To The Dollhouse, these gifted, beautiful, platinum-selling women have confirmed their enormous talent and undeniable star power."
Interscope Records — the home of PCD — told MTV News that the rumors of O'Day were "not true," Atlantic Records (DK's label) would only offer a "no comment" when asked if the group were through. All signs, it seemed, pointed toward implosion.
In addition, the Aubrey O'day refuted any negative comments, she may of told TMZ.com cameras. In a statement saying..
Once again I would like to put to rest absurd rumors. I love being a member of Danity Kane and have always been down with DK musically. I'm looking forward to a second DK album and I totally support all members of DK in all of their endeavors.
D Woods, too, recently released a statement concerning her future with DK.. Denying any rumours, she was pursuing a solo career.
For those wondering about "The Girls Club", it is not a group that i have left DK for. It is an organization i've been apart of since before DK. It is my writing team made up of myself, SHANELL aka SNL and MIKA MEANS, along with a crew of many females doing their thing in the industry to create a movement of BOSS B*!@HES. much love and thanks for the support! ya girl,D.WOODS
It appears the group is still together, however, with the drama of the entertainment industry. How much long?
According to a tipster, Danity Kane has hit a rough note. With the group down to three girls from the original five, Dawn, Shannon, and Aundrea remaining -- minus Aubrey O'day and D. Woods. On Wednesday, reports first surfaced from TMZ.com, where on video Aubrey didn't have much to say about Puffy (while not looking like a happy employee, either), and TMZ reports:
"she [Aubrey O'Day] called out Diddy for practically ditching the band and suspiciously wouldn't deny rumors that she was joining up with the Pussycat Dolls." According to TMZ.com
It is also being rumored, Aubrey has replaced Asia from the Pussycat Dolls. And, the new addition to the Dolls is already in studio recording for the next release.
On D. Woods departure it's being rumored, she's pursuing a solo career.
IF it's true, it's hard to imagine Diddy put so much into Danity Kane. With the first album success. Now to only let two of the most popular members to depart. More to come.
In the latest spread from KING Magazine the May edition, beautiful Ms. D. Woods of Danity Kane appears in a sexy pose with multiply photos. She's looking fine to say the least.
Rumors and photos have been swirling the Internet. Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane has said that those widely-circulated photos of her buying pregnancy tests was a April Fools joke gone wrong. She addressed the joke on her MySpace page, saying the rumors are out of control, especially that she's pregnant with Diddy's baby..
Diddy went to the airwaves on New York's Hot 97 to dismiss the hoax.
"She was playing around with y'all," Diddy telling Hot 97. "That girl ain't even pregnant. I don't get down like that." "You telling these people these crazing things in the morning? They can't believe what y'all say...Check this out, she's not pregnant, I've never dealt with that girl, I never even looked at her for more than ten minutes... I just called to let you know you can move onto somebody else's stuff."
