 Diddy's all-male, "Making The Band" group Day 26 have announced the release of their sophomore album with Bad Boy Records, titled Forever In A Day, following up their success self-titled debut.
The new album will be be heralded by the first single, "Imma Put It On Her," featuring Diddy and Yung Joc. It will be widely available March 31st. What's more, the album track "Stadium Music" -- which served as the theme song during the first three episodes of Diddy and MTV's blockbuster reality series, "Making The Band 4" Season 3, Part 2 -- is on sale now at digital retailers everywhere.
Their new single, "Imma Put It On Her," will take over theme song duties for Episode 4, which aired early this month. Videos for both songs are currently in production and will debut in the coming weeks.
This "bonus season" of MTV's "Making The Band 4" has just gotten underway, with new episodes airing Thursdays at 9:00 PM ET/PT. The current series follows Day26 as they write and record their upcoming album. The season finale airs on April 16th.
Day26 -- consisting of Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley (a.k.a. "Que"), Robert Curry, and Willie Taylor -- will celebrate the album's release with a national promotional tour, set to kick off in late-March. The schedule -- dubbed "26 Days of Day26" -- will visit each of the group members' hometowns, as well as major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago, among others.
In 2008, Day26 entered the record books as the biggest-selling debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of SoundScan. The album -- which includes the hit singles, "Got Me Going" and "Since You Been Gone" -- exploded into the no. 1 spot on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 in its first week of release, while also topping Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
A little piece of information about their debut, it was recorded in just three short weeks. The five gifted performers were chosen by Diddy and MTV viewers around the world on 2007's record-shattering "Making The Band 4" Season One finale.
Day26 followed the album's out-of-the-box success with a featured role on "P. Diddy Presents The Making The Band 4 Tour," a major North American concert tour which was the centerpiece of "Making the Band 4: Season 3" and saw the quintet sharing arena stages coast-to-coast with their MTB4 co-stars Danity Kane and Donnie Klang.
Forever In A Day is set to hit stores April 14.
