Release history
Region Date United States August 22, 2006 United Kingdom August 29, 2006 Germany November 10, 2006 Switzerland Philippines January 5, 2007 Chart performance
The album sold over 90,000 copies in its first day of release, Danity Kane officially sold 234,662 copies its first week, placing it at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. According to Soundscan, the album has sold over 935,000 copies to date.[4] In early 2007, it was certified Platinum for over 1 million copies shipped domestically.[5]
"One Shot" is featured on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8's promotional theme song.
Singles
The debut and lead single from the album was the Billboard top 10 hit, "Show Stopper" with Yung Joc. The song was followed by the moderately successful ballad, "Ride for You".
The label wanted to release "Hold Me Down" as the third single, however the band lobbied for "Right Now" or "Want It". No definitive answer surfaced for the lack of singles on the debut album but this is attributed to management issues with the next single decision and the less than stellar chart performance of "Ride for You."
