Grammy-winning, multiplatinum hip-hop superstar NELLY makes a return to the Billboard charts this week as his new single
, “Just a Dream,” debuts at No. 8 on the Digital Songs chart and No. 12 on the Hot 100 chart with 135,000 copies sold. This marks NELLY’s first Top 10 hit since “Grillz” topped the Hot 100 chart in early 2006. Produced by Jim Jonsin and Rico Love, “Just a Dream” is one of two new lead singles—including the infectious club jam “Tippin’ In Da Club,” produced by Dutch and Juke Box—to be released from NELLY’s highly anticipated sixth album, 5.0, due out on Universal Motown on November 16, 2010.
5.0 is the eagerly awaited follow-up to NELLY’s gold-certified 2008 album, Brass Knuckles, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. The new album marks a solid return to form for the St. Louis native who recently teamed up with the Ford Motor Company to feature a tricked-out 2011 Mustang GT customized by DUB magazine on the cover of 5.0.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of NELLY’s explosive debut with his groundbreaking first album, Country Grammar, which sold an astonishing 250,000 copies in its first week of release, spent seven weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart, and sold more than 9 million copies. With “Just a Dream” and “Tippin’ In Da Club” heating up the airwaves at Top 40 and urban radio, respectively, NELLY is poised to celebrate this milestone in his extraordinary career by enjoying another banner year of success with the release of 5.0.
Ranked No. 3 on Billboard’s definitive list of the best-selling artists of the 2000s, NELLY has sold 30 million albums/singles in less than 10 years. Beyond his stellar artistic output, NELLY is the CEO of his own label, Derrty Ent., owner of the popular Apple Bottoms women’s clothing line, co-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats NBA expansion team, and founder of two non-profit organizations, 4Sho4Kids and Jes Us 4 Jackie.
