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 sixth consecutive week and the #3 spot on the general Latin Album Sales chart for the third week in a row in the US and Puerto Rico, according to Soundscan; while the album’s new single “Corazón Sin Cara” is #1 on Tropical radio, according to Billboard and Mediabase, and #3 on Latin Pop radio according to Billboard’s Latin Pop Songs Chart.

“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.

This week, the artist is also getting an extra push from MTV as they spotlight 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 marks the first time MTV has featured a Latin artist as part of their “PUSH’ campaign.

The artist 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.
