Atlantic Record press release – “WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE,” the new album from Bad Boy recording group Danity Kane, has made an explosive arrival atop the SoundScan/Billboard 200 album chart. This marks the group’s second consecutive #1 chart entry — following their 2006 RIAA platinum-certified, self-titled debut — and gives them the distinction of being the first female group in Billboard chart history to have both their debut and sophomore albums enter the main album chart at #1. “WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE” also debuts at #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #1 on SoundScan’s Digital Albums chart. With sales of 236,000, the superstar girl group’s sophomore release surpasses the first-week sales of their debut album, a remarkable achievement in today’s marketplace. It also marks the biggest first week from a female pop or R&B group since Destiny’s Child in 2001, and the largest debut from any female group in any genre since the Dixie Chicks in 2006. In addition, the album is 2008′s second biggest-selling debut thus far, as well as the year’s top debut from a female artist, besting recent collections from such notables as Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, and Natasha Bedingfield.

“This number one is for our fans, everything we do is for them,” said the members of Danity Kane. “We would like to thank God, our families, Bad Boy, and Atlantic for all their love and continued support.” “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,” said Bad Boy CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs. “The triumphant #1 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. They’ve come into their own with a record displaying the depth, range, quality, and energy that creates devotion and longevity. Congratulations to Danity Kane for delivering the goods and to the staff of Bad Boy for putting them back on top in such grand style.” “Damaged,” the album’s first hit single, is blowing up big time at iTunes: the track’s companion video — directed by Syndrome (Pretty Ricky, Lupe Fiasco, Trey Songz) — is the #1-selling music video, while the single itself has climbed to #6 on the “Top Pop Songs” chart and #11 on the overall “Top Songs” ranking. A total of four tracks from “WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE” are currently ranking on SoundScan’s Digital Songs chart.

MORE BELOW THE CUT….

Patti Labelle seemed to be the guest of honor at Danity Kane’s album release party at Tenjune as everyone was shocked that she came after the Versace party. Escorted by her body guard, people were seen doing doubletakes asking, “Is that Patti Labelle?!” Upon being introduced to Patti, Aubrey O’Day broke down in tears saying it was a dream come true to meet her.

PinkIsTheNewBlog: First of all, it’s great to be back on MTV and be a part of “Making The Band” again. This season has been insane, with living with the guys of Day26 and Donnie and working on our album — it has no doubt made the experience very interesting! And even though at times it was difficult to share the same space with them it’s an experience we’d never forget. Even while writing, recording our albums, dealing with Diddy, and continuously trying to challenge ourselves as artists, we got six new friends out of the deal. We cant express enough how excited we are about our second album “Welcome To The Dollhouse” in stores this week (I’m sure you already have your copy) This time around the album means a lot to us because it is from our hearts — we got the opportunity to write for it, we helped to pick the songs and really got to be a part of the creative process this time around. We came up with the concept for this album and picked the name. Some of the instrumentals on the songs reminded us of a wind-up doll so we thought the name “Welcome to the Dollhouse” would describe the feel for the music and for our style. Diddy trusted our judgment for the vision of this album and let us run with it (sort of). LOL

We had our album release day on Tuesday 3/18 and it was a world wind. We were up at 3am and appeared on CW11, TRL and did an album signing at Best Buy in NYC for all our fans. And since you know we’re not all work and no play, we ended the day with a little album release party at Tenjune in NYC … We had a blast and want to thank neyo, fabolous, patti labelle and everyone else who came out to support us it was great seeing the response from fans as they were listening to our tracks. And now we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor with our first single off the album “Damaged” topping the charts … what more can you ask for?! We are headed for a #1 album!!!!!! We’re not going to take up anymore of your time since you’ll get to see all of us in our glory this Sunday, March 23rd on MTV when the Making The Band 4 season Finale airs at 8pm ET/PT. We’ve put together a 2 hour special that’s packed with performances by us, Day26 and Donnie. We’re really looking forward to showing our fans what we’ve been up to these past few months. Thanks for letting us share our thoughts with you. We want to send a shout out to our fans … Thank you for all your support, we Love You and will continue to make you proud!!

Danity Kane will be performing at this years at 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango 2008, to be held in Los Angeles on May 10th, 2008. Other artistes that are expected to perform are Miley Cyrus, Snoop Dogg, Jonas Brothers, Flo Rida, Pitt Bull, The Dey, and Cherish. Thanks to Fernando for this info!

With the release of their sophomore album Welcome To The Dollhouse and lead single “Damaged,” the ladies of Danity Kane have hooked up with Twelve24Girl.com to give fans tips on how to handle themselves in various sticky situations. The platinum-selling group has partnered with Twelve24Girl.com – a sister site to SOHH aimed at young women ages 12 to 24 – to give young ladies advice on how to adapt to and properly handle a wide array of situations from last-minute fashion etiquitte to backstabbing friends. The group felt that it was important to reach out to their young female fans and try to share with them their collective knowledge and experience.

“We are thrilled to take part in this opportunity with Twelve24Girl.com as it gives us a chance to interact with our fans on such an intimate level on more topics than just music,” Danity Kane said. “This is the ideal platform for us to share our personal experiences and advice as we will have the ability to influence and reach out to girls of all ages.” Danity Kane will address the varying subjects in a series of twelve video blog entries, which will be updated daily on the site.

With a large number of young women turning to the internet for a large portion of their information, SOHH CEO Felicia Palmer hopes that young women of all backgrounds will be able to benefit from the life lessons. “Danity Kane is a perfect representation of the ‘Twelve 24 Girl’ and ‘Damaged’ Control is a way to speak directly to the concerns of young women in a fun and light-hearted way,” says Palmer. “The concerns of this growing community are always changing and with five ladies of Danity Kane sharing their thoughts and experiences, our audience is bound to relate to them in some way.” Welcome To The Dollhouse is in stores now on Bad Boy Records.

Bad Boy Records has announced the upcoming release of “WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE,” the eagerly anticipated sophomore album from Danity Kane. The album — which features the new hit single, “Damaged” — arrives in stores and at all online retailers on March 18th. “Damaged” sees the RIAA platinum-certified girl group — currently starring in the latest and greatest season of MTV’s blockbuster reality series, “Making The Band” — joining forces with the up-and-coming production team, Stereotypes, known for their hit
collaborations with such artists as Cupid, Ne-Yo, and Omarion. The track is currently a top 10 smash on iTunes’ “Top Pop Songs” chart, while also scoring at a variety of radio formats, including Urban, Rhythmic, and Top 40 outlets nationwide.

“WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE” follows the “Making The Band 3″-winning group’s blockbuster debut, which made a spectacular #1 debut on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 album chart upon its initial 2006 release. Fueled by the top 10 smash, “Show Stopper,” the self-titled album, went on to achieve RIAA platinum certification for U.S. sales exceeding one million units. Now, with “WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE,” Danity Kane have more than matched their Cinderella story debut, crafting an irresistible collection of new hits in association with such studio superstars as Danja, Stereotypes, Bryan Michael Cox, and Seven Aurelius (LL Cool J, Ashanti, Vanessa Carlton). “WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE” is Executive Produced by Bad Boy CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre.
