Cassie's 'Me & U' Tops Out at #1
As NextSelection/Bad Boy Debut Album Drops Today
With her smash debut single, "Me & U," riding
the top of the charts, NextSelection/Bad Boy Entertainment recording artist
Cassie hits stores today with her self-titled debut album.
"Me & U" tops out at #1 on this week's Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart as
well as #1 on R&R's CHR/Rhythmic chart. Last week, "Me & U" reached #1 on
Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
That making Cassie the first female in
nearly two years to hold the top spot on the chart. The single also ranks
at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart for a third week in a row.
"Me & U" was the #1 most played video on MTV last week, and the #3 most
played on BET. Cassie will make appearances today on both "TRL" and BET's
"106 & Park." Just last month, Cassie made her national television debut,
performing "Me & U" on MTV's "TRL." The video hit #1 on "TRL's" countdown
in June and repeatedly held the top spot. She also appeared on "Sucker Free
on MTV" August 1st.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Cassie's chance meeting with
NextSelection's Ryan Leslie led her to focus her creative energies on a
series of demo recordings, including "Me & U." When the songs were posted
on Cassie's newly created MySpace page, she became an online sensation,
quickly drawing over 2 million visitors and sparking a label bidding war.
To date, her site has seen nearly 8 million visitors, and Cassie is the
first artist to break on such a large scale after being discovered by fans
on MySpace. "CASSIE" was produced by Leslie, who also executive produced
the album along with Bad Boy founder and CEO Diddy.
Just last week, Pepsi launched a radio spot featuring Cassie, which is
airing in nearly 75 markets across the country. A performance on "LIVE with
Regis and Kelly" is slated to air August 14th.
