As Breakout Single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" Ranks #1 On Four Singles Charts Jive Records Claims No. 1 Spot Two Weeks In A Row And Boasts Two Titles In The Top Four On the Top 200 and R&B; Album Charts.
New York, NY - June 13, 2007 -Konvict/Jive Records recording artist
T-Pain, lands at the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200 and R&B; Album
charts with his sophomore debut Epiphany. The hit single "Buy U A Drank
(Shawty Snappin')," continues to top the R&B;/Hip-Hop and airplay charts.
"Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" recently beat out artists such as
Maroon 5, Avril Lavigne, Timbaland, and Ne-Yo to the top of the
Billboard Hot 100 chart as the #1 single in the country. On four
separate Billboard charts the single has been firmly set at the #1
position for several weeks: #1 Hot 100 Airplay; #1 Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop
Songs; #1 Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop Airplay; #1 Rhythmic Top 40, and for seven
consecutive weeks T-Pain was the #1 selling ringtone on the Billboard
Hot Ringmasters chart.
For the second week in a row Jive Records, the record company to
label-mates T-Pain and R. Kelly, claims the No. 1 spot on the Billboard
Top 200 chart. Last week R. Kelly topped them all at #1 with Double Up,
his ninth solo release, which now rests comfortably at #4; and this
week, without missing a step, T-Pain beats out Paul McCartney and
Rihanna to the #1 spot in the country. This gives Jive two albums in the
top four of Billboards Top 200 chart.
Early rave reviews have already started pouring in for the hit-making
songwriter/producer's sophomore effort. Rolling Stone magazine gives
Epiphany three stars and exclaims that "...The hooks come fast and
loose... Epiphany should be lighting up both bedrooms and the clubs."
The Washington Post raves, noting that "...T-Pain's best cuts evoke the
dripping grooves of Zapp, the breakneck beats of Baltimore club music,
even the punk-funk of Fishbone." The NY Times agrees and states "...
[T-Pain] produced every song on the album, and his thumping beats are
the secret behind his success."
One of music's rapidly rising and omnipresent stars, T-Pain's sophomore
album Epiphany expresses his growth as an artist and the definition of
the album title as a "sudden moment of insight or revelation" truly
encapsulates his efforts on this release. On Epiphany, T-Pain takes
over the reins as producer, writer and arranger and enlists artists such
as Akon- who discovered and signed him to his Konvict Muzik label, and
Yung Joc to hone and master the unique sound that he introduced on his
gold-selling debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga.
Recently T-Pain has been crisscrossing the country producing and
collaborating for a wide and varied list of mega-artists that include
Usher, Britney Spears, R. Kelly, Chris Brown and Busta Rhymes. His
follow-up single "Bartender" featuring Akon is rapidly moving up the
charts and is following in the footsteps of his chart-topping first
single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin)." Fans can catch T-Pain perform
on the Jimmy Kimmel show June 14th.
