Los Angeles (Launch) - Nearly two years after its initial release, British hip-hop underground outfit the Wiseguys debuted an album and a single on the two most esteemed charts in the music business. The album, Antidote, made its entry onto the current Billboard 200 album sales chart at Number 182; while the single, "Start The Commotion", debuted at Number 63 on the coinciding Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The album first arrived from Mammoth Records in September 1999, and scored a smash hit in the U.K. and a club hit here in the States with the single, "Ooh La La." But it wasn't until carmaker Mitsubishi incorporated " Start The Commotion" into television ads earlier this summer that the commotion started. The song now can be found on five different Billboard charts, while a video featuring footage from the upcoming Ben Stiller film, Zoolander, arrives in the coming week. The original clip for the song, as well as the video for "Ooh La La," can currently be viewed at LAUNCH.com. The Wiseguys are now scheduling live appearances in major American markets in September.
