Kelly Rowland Scores No. 1 Hit on Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs Chart with "Commander," Featuring David Guetta
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter-television host-actress KELLY
ROWLAND has hit No. 1 on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs
chart with "Commander,"
featuring David Guetta, the white-hot party anthem from her
forthcoming self-titled album, due out on Universal Motown Records on
September 21, 2010. The infectious dance track bumps Lady Gaga's
"Alejandro" from the top spot three weeks after the futuristic music
video for "Commander," directed by celebrated Japanese
lensman Masashi Muto and choreographed by Fatima Robinson,
premiered on VEVO
to critical acclaim, receiving more than 2 million views to date.
Named by Entertainment Weekly as this year's "Summer Jam No. 1," "Commander"
was produced by renowned dance guru David Guetta and written by
Grammy winner Rico Love, whose songwriting credits include hits
with Beyonce, Nelly, and Usher, among others. The
combustible club reaction to "Commander," which is a Top
10 hit on the UK Singles chart, marks the second colossal collaboration
for ROWLAND and Guetta, whose 2009 Grammy-winning smash, "When
Love Takes Over," from Guetta's album, One Love,
skyrocketed to the top of the charts around the world.
That success is likely to be repeated with the release of two new
singles, "Rose
Colored Glasses," which has been serviced to Top 40 and
Pop Rhythm Crossover radio formats, and "Grown
Woman," which broke out of the gate as the No. 1
most-added track at Urban AC radio no sooner than it was serviced to
Urban Mainstream, Urban AC, and Urban Rhythm Crossover.
Wowing audiences worldwide, KELLY ROWLAND is traveling
around the globe to promote the upcoming release of her hotly
anticipated third solo album, featuring collaborations with Stargate,
Dr. Luke, Ne-Yo, Salaam Remi, Esther Dean,
and of course, David Guetta. In addition to gracing the cover of
the July 2010 issue of the Cosmopolitan
magazine in South Africa, she recently appeared on The
Graham Norton Show and BBC
Breakfast in the UK, where "Commander" is enjoying heavy
rotation at MTV, Radio 1, Choice FM, BBC 1Xtra, and Kiss FM.
Featured as July's Trendspotter of the Month on Music Choice's original
program, Speaking
Of..., KELLY ROWLAND is also making a
splash in the U.S. Among other highlights, she performed alongside Cyndi
Lauper and Estelle at the amfAR Inspiration Gala in New York
City on June 4, presented at VH1's Hip-Hop Honors, sat for a juicy
interview with Perez
Hilton while in LA to headline a Gay Pride concert, appeared in a
gorgeous fashion spread for Elle.com,
and opens up about her personal and professional evolution in the June
25 issue of Entertainment
Weekly.
