The monstrous leap is fueled by the single’s #6 debut on Billboard’s “Hot Digital Songs” chart with 67,000 downloads sold in its first week. “Smack That” is one of two lead singles from Akon’s forthcoming sophomore disc, Konvicted, due out November 14, 2006. The single has already been the #1 most added song at rhythmic and crossover radio and has been listened to more than three million times in one month on Akon’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/akon). Akon’s other lead single, “I Wanna Love You” features Snoop Dogg is seeing a considerable amount of attention as well. Akon scored unprecedented success, both here and abroad, with his multi-format smash hit singles “Locked Up” and “Lonely” from his multi-platinum debut release, Trouble. He’s produced hit songs for hot rapper Young Jeezy and his own top-selling R&B artist T- Pain. He has recently worked in the studio with Elton John and Gwen Stefani and will be debuting several breakout artists on his newly developed label, Konlive.
