NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Jive Records) - R. Kelly's Double Up debuts this week as the No 1 selling album on both Billboard's Top 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop album charts. The No 1 debut of Double Up marks the highest first-week sales of the year for any R&B solo artist.

New York Times "... he has affirmed his position as one of the era's greatest ..."
USA Today "... vintage R Kelly ..."
NY Post "... Kelly's not only smooth enough for the ladies, but rough enough for the fellas ..."
The Philadelphia Inquirer "The album provides plenty of examples of the real reason that Kelly's career continues to thrive ... he keeps serving up the hot jams."
US Weekly- "... the smooth vocals and sizzling hip-hop beats are hype-worthy."
Washington Post "[the] microdramas are so masterfully executed that it's easy to forget how great the music is ..."

Kelly - (5x), R. - (8x), TP-2.COM - (4x), Chocolate Factory - (2x), Happy People/U Saved Me - (3x). R.
