Relient K's new 'MMHMM' album debuts at No 15 on Billboard Top 200, scanning over 51,000 first week out

NEW YORK (www.relientk.com) - Mmhmm, the fourth studio album from Canton, OH power-punk rock band Relient K, debuted at No 15 this week on the Billboard Top 200, selling 51,473 albums and nearly doubling their street week numbers of their last release, the Grammy-nominated Two Lefts Don't Make A Right... But Three Do, which debuted at No 38. Mmhmm, which was produced by Mark Townsend and Relient K lead vocalist Matt Thiessen with various tracks mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, marks the band's first release on Capitol Records. Their previous three albums were released by independent label Gotee Records, which is releasing Mmhmm jointly with Capitol.

Relient K has seen amazing momentum in street week sales with their very first album scanning 900 units, their second release scanning 9,000, the third album scanning 30,000, and now culminating in the past week's 51,473 albums sold. Relient K has sold over one million albums total to date. Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but three do and its predecessor, 2001's The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek, are both approaching Gold status.

Mmhmm was also the number one seller in the nation over the internet this past week, with 8,534 albums snatched up. Prior to street date, Relient K regularly achieved "most played" status on purevolume.com, where they streamed a track a week from the new album.

The band, which is on the road an average of 150-200 dates a year, just completed a street week club tour and will follow up with a nationwide tour later this winter.
