"PRESS PLAY," the critically acclaimed new album from Diddy, makes a triumphant debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 this week, as well as topping the magazine's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Since its release on October 17th, "PRESS PLAY" has been earning rave reviews for its innovative sound and cutting-edge diversity. Diddy's non-stop hard work -- both in the studio and on the road -- has paid off, as he has returned to the #1 spot following a five-year hiatus from his recording career.

Lyor Cohen, Chairman and CEO, U.S. Recorded Music, Warner Music Group, said, "This year Diddy returned as a powerful force in music with the reemergence of his Bad Boy Records as one of the industry's hottest labels, and now he's back as a number one artist. I'm thrilled to have an executive and artist as creative and focused as Diddy in our Warner Music family, and I look forward to much continued success together."

Kevin Liles, Executive Vice President for Warner Music Group, noted, "With...

At long last, "PRESS PLAY," the dazzling new solo album from Diddy, has arrived. The Bad Boy Records release sees the label's founder, CEO, and three-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist taking his trademark sound to the next level, crafting a modern meld of musical styles that is uniquely and undeniably his own. "PRESS PLAY" -- which includes the blockbuster first single/video, "Come To Me (feat. Nicole Scherzinger from The Pussycat Dolls)" -- hits stores across America today.

The release of "PRESS PLAY" has been marked by an unprecedented blitz of media activity. "Come To Me," the Diddy-produced first single from "PRESS PLAY," is currently on fire at radio across the country. It was the #1 most-added song in its first week at Urban and Rhythmic formats, and is now a top 20 sensation on both charts, while also climbing the top 30 on the Billboard "Hot 100."

Unquestionably among music television's most popular icons, Diddy is once again dominating cable programming, w...
