Renee Fleming Achieves First Billboard Top 200 Debut And Best First Week Sales With 'surprising' (la Times) New Album 'dark Hope'

New York, NY(Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Renee Fleming's thrilling new album 'Dark Hope' (Decca) debuts at No 151 today on the Billboard Top 200 chart, with the highest first-week sales of the superstar soprano's storied career.
Though the three-time Grammy winner has topped Billboard's Classical chart five times, this marks her first appearance in the Top 200. 'Dark Hope,' which finds Fleming exploring a parallel universe via songs by Arcade Fire, Band of Horses, Leonard Cohen, Death Cab for Cutie, Jefferson Airplane, The Mars Volta, Muse and others, also opens at No 3 on Billboard's Heatseeker chart.

The debut follows a performance by Fleming of Muse's "Endlessly" last week on Good Morning America, and major print and online coverage including two arts cover stories in the New York Times, a cover profile in the LA Times, and interviews with the Wall Street Journal and SPIN online.

Next up, Renee Fleming will perform a song from 'Dark Hope' on the ABC special 'America Celebrates July 4th at Ford's Theatre,' set to air July 2 at 9pm EDT.
