Los Angeles,CA -This week, Prince Royce’s self-titled debut album soars to the top of the charts, garnering the #1 spot on the Tropical Album Sales chart and the #8 spot on the general Latin Album Sales chart in the US and Puerto Rico, according to Soundscan, positioning the young singer-songwriter higher on the charts than established Tropical artists such as Juan Luis Guerra, Gilberto Santa Rosa and Aventura.

As if that were not enough, “Prince Royce” has been nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® for Best Contemporary Tropical Album of 2010 and was recently certified Gold in the US and Puerto Rico by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).

“I am totally surprised and feel incredibly blessed with everything that is happening in my career. It is nothing less than a dream come true for me! I thank my fans, my peers in the industry, my record label and my family who have always supported me,” expressed the Bronx-bred Dominican American artist.

In just a few short 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”, recently reached #1 on Tropical Radio as well as #1 in Digital Tropical Single sales. The track has received such wide acceptance that besides being played on Spanish-language and bilingual radio stations in the United States, it is also getting significant airplay on top Hip Hop/Popular music stations in the country, marking the first time Bachata is played on English-language radio.

The album’s follow-up single “Corazón Sin Cara” has just been released on US Latin radio and is already Top Ten in Tropical radio in the country, joining “Stand By Me”, which still holds one of the top spots on the chart.

Prince Royce is signed to the Top Stop Music label, owned by Gregory Elias and renown music producer Sergio George, with Sony Music distribution in the US, Puerto Rico and Mexico. In Spain, Prince Royce’s self-titled debut album is available under the Blue Moon Records label; in Italy, France and Switzerland under the Planet Records label; and in Colombia under the Codiscos label.
