Check out the official trailer (albeit crappy quality) for the upcoming season of Making The Band 4 - which follows Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie on their headlining tour across the US:

This one looks like it'll be something else. Was that Ms. Boom Kack herself I saw there? LOL...

Season premiere is August 13th on MTV.

Will you be tuning in?

It appears the folk over at Bad Boy finally decided to hook Day26 up with a much needed new single in the form of 'Since You've Been Gone', the video for which premiered recently. Luckily for the guys, the song is strong enough to carry this, otherwise, run-of-the-mill clip. The Dawn (from Danity Kane) cameo was a nice touch, though. With the track being one of the strongest cuts from their self titled debut, here's hoping it fares better than first single 'Got Me Going' which peaked at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100.

What do you think of the video?

Yesterday, Bad Boy five-piece Day26 performed their single 'Got Me Going' on BET's 106 & Park, which aired from Los Angeles in preparation for tonight's BET Awards:

Removed as requested

Great performance. I was about to go off though when I realized they were performing 'Got Me Going' again, seeing they have a new single out. The 'Since You Been Gone' acapella was a nice touch, though. As reported, the video for the single will premiere on MTV this Friday.

What do you think of the performance?

Day26 - 'Must Be Love' An unreleased Day26 track, which is believed to be a left-over from their debut album, surfaced recently. Produced by Bryan Michael Cox, it's pretty evident why 'Must Be Love' wasn't included on their record - it's a real run-of-the-mill, uninspired slow-jam. Fortunately, Cox and the Bad Boy five-piece fare better on their other joint efforts such as 'Are We In This Together'.

In other Day26 news, the video for the guys' long-overdue second single 'Since You've Been Gone' will premiere on F'N MTV this coming Friday.

The Making The Band 4 clan - Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie, stopped by The Big Phat Morning Show on Baltimore's Q92FM radio station to promote their current tour. Check out the hilarious interview below:

They all had me cracking up; Dawn's reaction to the Aundrea pregnant comment, to the 'Malaysian weaves', to Donnie and Shannon still not saying a word lol. Now all they need is to be hooked up with new singles and accompanying videos ASAP.

Any thoughts?

Making The Band Tour: Not Selling? Word has it that the Making The Band 4 tour is having difficulties attracting concert-goers; consequently a series of dates have been cancelled. Click here to see the proof. What's more, MTV are said to be looking to shorten the tour as well as 'give-away' tickets to the show so as to save face.

What the hell is going on over at Bad Boy? I know Danity Kane have been on their grind doing a series of non-televised shows here and there; yet with a tour coming up, it makes little sense to be working the non-televised circuit when you have something to promote - namely an album and tour.

With 'Damaged' having just cracked the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, it's understandable as to why their second single 'Bad Girl' hasn't been rolled out just yet. Day26, on the other hand, have been in dire need of an appearance, performance..hell something, yet have been MIA since the tour was announced. Diddy and Bad Boy have with Danity Kane the best girl group out at the moment IMO and with Day26 guys with mass potential, yet don't seem to be promoting them as such. For both group's sake, business needs to pick up ASAP.

Any thoughts?

Day26 Topple Danity Kane To Hit #1
R&B five-piece Day26 have hit #1 on the Billboard 200 with their self titled debut, knocking off their Making The Band co-stars Danity Kane in the process. Bad Boy's latest signees shifted a respectable 190,000 copies of their LP first week, besting the girls' sales of 'Dollhouse' - which sits at #4 after shifting 89, 000 copies in its 2nd week. {Source}

Day26 stopped by BET's 106 & Park to promote their self-titled debut, which hit stores in the US this week. The guys also performed their 2nd single 'Since You've Been Gone'. Check out their performance below:

The guys did a great job; they started off a little shaky, but definitely picked things up toward the end. Good stuff.

Yesterday night saw the airing of the Making The Band 4 season 2 finale. The two hour telecast boasted performances from the shows star's Danity Kane, Day 26 and Donnie. As well as performing Diddy made a 'special announcement' confirming that a new season of the show will be shot and will follow both the groups and Donnie on their North American tour. Check out the performances below:

Danity Kane - Damaged

Day26 - Got Me Going

Donny (ft. Diddy) - Take You There

I really enjoyed both Day26 and Danity Kane's performances, although the latter were kinda shaky vocally at times. Donnie, on the other hand, what was that? I'm starting to question Diddy's mindset when choosing him as a solo act, because the performance was wack - to put it simply. According to our friends over at Think2wice.org, who were in attendance at the taping, Donnie's performance was done not once, not twice, but three times over. Yet still the televised version was the pits. Anyway, usual...

What do you think of the performances ?

Will you be checking for the Making The Band tour?

The video for Day26's debut single 'Got Me Going' premiered on MTV today. Directed by Syndrome, who also directed Danity Kane's 'Damaged' clip, the video is pretty good. I'm liking the concept and the special effects actually work here (not so sure about that 'Damaged' vid just yet); the guys also did their thing on the choreography front. Day 26's self-titled album will hit stores on March 25th.

What do you think of the video?

Day26 - 'Don't Fight This Feeling'As the current season of Making The Band draws nearer to its end and the release of the groups' albums ever-closer, more material from the guys of Day26's has surfaced. Bryan Michael Cox, who seems to have several cuts on the group's album, produced this new track called 'Don't Fight This Feeling'. With its throwback 90's vibe, this slow jam is straight-up R&B in the vein of the 112's and Jagged Edge's before them (Day26). Saying that, parts of the track echo Ciara's 'Promise' as well. Definitely a solid album track, that has me anxious to see what the rest of their debut will be serving up.

Bad Boy artists Cheri Dennis and Day26 performed at yesterday's BET Rip The Runway event during the Sean John showcase. Dennis, whose album 'In & Out of Love' is out now, performed 'Portrait of Love', whilst Day26 performed their debut single 'Got Me Going'. While both performances were 'ok', they left a salty taste in my mouth. They are both going to have to step up their live performing game if they hope to make an impact. Random tidbit: Did anyone else spot Cassie getting it during her walk. She should really give up pretending to sing and take up modelling again.

You can now preview the self-titled debut from Day26, stars of Making The Band 4. This 6-track sampler serves to give give a taste of what the group's LP (due March 25th) will be offering. Featured on the preview:

01. Diddy's Intro
02. I'm The Reason
03. Got Me Going
04. In My Bed
05. Come In
06. Are We In This Together

Listening through this has kinda reignited my belief in the guys' chances of success. The previously unheard 'I'm The Reason' as well as 'In My Bed' and 'Are We In This Together' are very solid cuts. The void left by the likes of 112 and Jagged Edge may just be filled by Day26.

Yet more material from Making The Band 4's Day26 has surfaced. Produced by The Runners, 'Come In' - a cut from their forthcoming album - is, production-wise, is very solid track. From the beat, to the vocal arrangement, to the harmonies, the song production is top-notch. be it vocally, emotionally or whatever, there is a lack of cohesion with the guys' voices on the verses which hinders, what would otherwise be, a great song. Still, their self-titled debut (due March 25th) is one of the LP's I'm looking forward to this year.

Day26 Album Cover The official album cover for Day26's debut LP hit the net recently. The guys, stars of MTV's Making The Band 4, are set to release their self-titled album on March 11th via Bad Boy/Atlantic Records.

I hate to get on Robert's case (first from the left), but he looks real awkward - definitely sticks out for the wrong reasons.

What do you think of the cover?

Since winning MTV's popular reality show 'Making The Band 4' last summer, the group- consistent of Mike, Quanell, Brian, Robert and Willie - have been without a collective name to go by. However, during an appearance on radio station Power 99 in Philadelphia yesterday, the guys revealed that the group's official name is Day26. No explanation was given, so I'll reserve my judgement until then.

What do you think of the name Day26?
