R&B group Day26 is treating their day one fans with a surprise album.
Day Ones, Day26’s third album, independently released Monday, Aug 26. The album drop comes as the group is celebrating their 17 year anniversary since they first formed on Making the Band 4 (Aug. 26, 2007).
The new project consists of 16 tracks, which includes co-writing credits from all five members: Robert Curry, Willie Taylor, Michael “Big Mike” McCluney, Qwanell “Que” Mosley, & Brian Angel.
On their Instagram page, the group shared, “The Wait is Over… and This is For Our DayOnes!!! Monday, August 26, 2024 in honor of our 17 year Anniversary, we will be releasing our First Studio album since “Forever in a Day” (2009). Officially album #3, All 5 Original Members… PLEASE 🙏🏽 what we need from our #DayOnes is to truly Run It Up!!!”
Day Ones is the group’s first project since 2009’s album “Forever In A Day.” The sophomore project included the hit single, “Imma Put It On Her (Feat. Yung Joc and Diddy)” – and soared into Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart at #1.
Day26’s story is already well-known to their fans, millions of whom tuned in watch it unfold on MTV’s Making the Band 4 (Which became the highest rated show in MTV history). When Sean “P. Diddy” Combs put out the call for vocalists in January of 2007, he was looking for talented newcomers with superstar potential and a tireless work ethic. What he got when Robert, Will, Brian, Mike and Qwanell (who later resigned from the group in December of 2009), was more than he or the fans could have ever anticipated.
On August 26, 2007, the lives of five young men were changed forever. On that day, they became DAY26. DAY26’s self-titled debut album enter the record books as the biggest-selling debut album from a male R&B group in the 17-year history of SoundScan. The album – which included the hit singles, “Got Me Going” and “Since You Been Gone” – exploded into the #1 spot on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 in its first week of release, while also topping Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart.
Day Ones is available to stream on all platforms.
