August 17, 2009

KIDZ BOP 16 DEBUTS AT #8 ON BILLBOARD TOP 200 ALBUM CHART
MARKS 10TH CONSECUTIVE KIDZ BOP TITLE TO DEBUT IN BILLBOARD TOP 10


On the heels of yet another top ten album debut, KIDZ BOP introduces 12-year-old singer-songwriter Sinai Rose (pronounced suh-NIGH). The first original artist signing for the KIDZ BOP label, Sinai Rose is featured on KIDZ BOP 16. This latest volume from the best-selling children's audio series sold 38,000 units in its first week, entering the Billboard Top 200 Album chart at #8. The album is the #1 on the Children's chart, followed by two other KIDZ BOP releases in the Top Ten (KIDZ BOP GREATEST HITS at #4 and KIDZ BOP 15 at #7). This is the 10th consecutive KIDZ BOP title to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard Album chart.

Sinai Rose will be featured on multiple KIDZ BOP releases, including KIDZ BOP 16, KIDZ BOP Christmas and KIDZ BOP 17, leading up to her full-length album debut in 2010. Her first single "LOL" (from KIDZ BOP 16) is prominently featured in the current television advertising campaign. In less than six weeks, the song is an instant viral online hit with more than 500,000 audio streams on KIDZBOP.com and YouTube. The "LOL" music video premiered today on KIDZBOP.com and will debut exclusively on Yahoo! next week.

A powerhouse performer, 12-year-old Sinai Rose co-writes all of her own music and lyrics and collaborates with some of today's top producers, including Jens Gad (Enigma, Sandra), Toby Gad (Beyonce, Fergie, The Veronicas) and Mattias Gustafsson (Backstreet Boys). Her forthcoming 2010 full length debut album will showcase her high-energy rock/pop girl power anthems and reggae influenced rhythms. Sinai's impressive credits include guest appearances on Nickelodeon's hit series "The Naked Brothers Band," a supporting role in the off-Broadway production of "Keep on Walking," spots in several national TV commercials and a first-place win at the legendary Apollo Theater's "Amateur Night." She's been heralded by The New York Daily News as "an amazing singer whose voice shows depth and maturity far beyond her years."

The popular KIDZBOP.com website also continues its "growth spurt," with July 2009 being its highest performing month in the history of the site. This summer, KidzBop.com surpassed 3 million video streams per month, with more than 100,000 moderated, user generated videos uploaded (currently at rate of 1,000+ per day), solidifying its position as a leading social networking site for kids and tweens. The site also attracted more than 1.3 million visitors during the month of July.

KIDZ BOP has teamed up with leading online portal Yahoo! to premiere its robust slate of all-new music videos. The first videos for Sinai Rose's "LOL" and KIDZ BOP's "Fire Burning" will premiere this August and September, followed by four additional videos throughout the end of the year, which are currently in production.
