Miami, FL - Prince Royce’s self-titled debut album continues to thrive at the top of the charts, holding on to the #1 spot on the Tropical Album Sales chart for the seventh consecutive week, while occupying the #4 spot in general Latin Album Sales in the US and Puerto Rico, having had a 33% increase in sales from the week before, according to Soundscan; while the album’s new single “Corazón Sin Cara” is #1 on Tropical radio, according to Billboard and Mediabase, #2 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Songs chart and #4 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart (of Latin songs across all genres).

“Prince Royce” was recently nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® for Best Contemporary Tropical Album of 2010 and has been certified Gold in the US and Puerto Rico by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).

In just a few months, Prince Royce has succeeded in garnering radio airplay and the top spots on the most important charts in the industry with this first album, which dropped on March 2, 2010. “Stand by Me”, the first single off “Prince Royce”, reached #1 on Tropical Radio as well as #1 in Digital Tropical Single sales. And now, the album’s follow-up single “Corazón Sin Cara” has just become the #1 track on Tropical radio in the country. The tracks are currently #1 and #2 in Tropical Digital Single sales.

Last week, the artist got an extra push from MTV which spotlighted Prince Royce as their ‘PUSH’ artist of the week by airing his “Corazon Sin Cara” video as well as artist promo spots, exclusive interviews and content on MTV and MTV.com. Each week, MTV selects a new ‘PUSH’ (Play Until Someone Hears) artist to promote and this marked the first time MTV has featured a Latin artist as part of their “PUSH’ campaign.

Prince Royce plans to celebrate his success with his fans on November 13th as he hosts his first-ever US concert at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in his hometown of the Bronx, New York.
