B.o.B Hits No.1 With Adventures Debut

B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, the debut album from Rebel Rock Entertainment/Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist B.o.B, has debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200! With sales in excess of 84,000, the album – which includes the #1 hit single, “Nothin’ On You (Feat. Bruno Mars)” – is also sitting atop a number of other Billboard sales charts, including “Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums,” “Top Rap Albums,” and “Top Digital Albums”. “Nothin’ On You (Feat. Bruno Mars)” has proven to be a true breakout smash for B.o.B, topping Billboard’s “Hot 100” for two weeks and marking the ATL-based rapper as the 4th solo male artist to hit #1 with a debut single since October 2009. The track – which has also been a top seller on iTunes’s “Top Singles” chart – is #1 on this week’s “Rhythmic Airplay” chart – the fastest rising debut track since Drake’s 2009 smash, “Best I Ever Had” – while also drawing top 5 airplay at both Urban and CHR/Top 40 outlets. In related news, B.o.B. is lined up for several tours dates, including a stop at Manchester’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival (June 11). He will also play Lollapalooza, outside Chicago, August 6, 2010.
