DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ Surpass Two Million Ring Tune Sales

NEW YORK, NY (Virgin Records) - Ring Tune sales from So So Def/Virgin Records' 'Snap' music innovators DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ have crossed the two million sales mark, fueled by strong radio airplay and driving further sales of their debut album "ON TOP OF OUR GAME." After selling more than one million ring tunes before the album street date, DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ doubled sales of this popular mobile music product in just six weeks.

Mobile music fans are continuing to snap up DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ ring tunes from four different tracks from the album, with DFB's latest radio smash, "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" surpassing the ring tune version of their Number One urban hit "I Think They Like Me." Other DFB tracks ringing up mobile music sales include "Ridin' Rims" and "Stop Callin' Me."

Music from "ON TOP OF OUR GAME" continues to sell briskly, with album sales reaching Gold status and at No 46 on the Billboard Top 200 and No 8 on the Billboard Rap chart since its release last month and track sales of current chart hit "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" at No 13 on the overall digital track chart.

"Lean Wit It" continues to scorch its way up the charts, this week No 1 on Billboard's R&B Hip-Hop Song chart, at No 7 on Billboard's pop Hot 100, and No 2 in the airplay-based Urban chart.

DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ, hailing from Atlanta's Westside, are Gerald "Buddie" Tiller, Bernard "Jizzal Man" Leverette, Maurice "Parlae" Gleaton, and Jamal "Pimpin'" Willingham. They debuted on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart in 2004 with the top 25 single "White Tees," but enjoyed their true breakthrough as So So Def/Virgin artists with the single release of "I Think They Like Me," featuring guest appearances by Bow Wow, Da Brat and So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri.
