Artist of the Week: Tank

Only giving up the first throne to Linkin Park's “Minutes to Midnight”, Tank took on the runner up position of Billboard Hot 200 chart with his third effort “Sex, Love & Pain”. The record was sold 103,000 copies in the first week of its release, a number that became his best selling and charting debut to date. Among R&B crooners, on the other hand, the sale number of “Sex, Love & Pain” was recorded the highest and was considered a hot shot after reigning the Billboard R&B chart. This May 15, 2007 release also helped the first single “Please Don't Go” to instantly climb up 22 places to #42 after 11 weeks bubbling under the perimeter 60 in Hot 100 chart. The song has better luck in R&B chart by sitting at #2 even after 29 weeks of circulation. Off his solo career, Tank tries to have a balance by forming a group called TGT with his fellow warriors Tyrese Gibson and Genuwine. For a start, the group will remix Tank's latest hit “Please Don't Go”.
