Akon Konvicted, and "Don't Matter" updates...

Posted on 14 Feb 2007 by Webmaster

Happy Valentine’s Day fans!

Now, on to some Akon updates...

Don’t Matter’s video made its debut on TRL and 106&Park last Thursday, and has been leaping up the airplay and download charts. Don’t Matter will chart on Billboard’s Hot 100 at number 11 this week while Konvicted moves from number 6 to number 4 selling 65,000 copies. That’s a 15 percent increase in album sales, which is great. While Akon did not have any impact at the Grammy’s he spent a lot of time promoting “Don’t Matter,” and his tour with Gwen Stefani, including a huge performance at Clive David’s Pre-Grammy Party.

Don’t Matter’s jump is due to the 107 percent increase in downloads, giving it the number 7 position on Billboard’s HOT DIGITAL SONGS and bringing its total to 153,339 downloads. “I Wanna Love You,” is at number 16 this week, bringing its download total to 1,214,125, while Smack That is at number 18 bringing its download total to 1,784,645. Can “Smack That” cross the 2 million mark? Only time will tell.

Don’t Matter is currently Top 10 on Rhythmic radio charts, and Top 30 on the Top 40 radio charts, and hopefully the increase will continue. Don’t forget to vote for “Don’t Matter” on TRL & 106 & Park.
