NEW YORK, NY (Universal Records) - The Sound Of Revenge, the new album from Universal Records/Houston based recording artist Chamillionaire has become the breakthrough story of the holiday season. Debuting No 10 on the Albums Chart, ahead of a host of top tier, big name artists including Reba McEntire, Guns N' Roses, and Big Boi, over the Thanksgiving holiday. The Sound Of Revenge is the highest debut week of a new Universal album since 2003.

The album also came in No 4 on the R&B Albums Chart, with the rap trailblazer riding the waves of his smash debut single "Turn It Up," featuring Lil Flip. "Turn It Up", which has garnered a combined radio audience of over 25 million listeners, also scored Top 10 phone requests throughout the U.S., becoming a staple at rhythm crossover and urban radio. The sizzling video has been receiving tremendous support from BET and MTV, achieving the prestigious No 1 most played video slot on BET this week, virtually an unprecedented honor for a brand new artist. Helping to lead the Chamillionaire charge, the clip was the No 2 most played video on MTV's Jams, as well as being an addition to MTV 2's play list as one of the channel's most anticipated videos.

Chamillionaire's emergence as the hottest new hip-hop artist to explode nationwide was further confirmed by a burst of accolades and activity surrounding the coveted release. A chorus of nationally syndicated tomes such as Rolling Stone are raving about the debut disc - "He's the next superstar in Houston's hip hop takeover," - says the celebrated magazine, and USA Today proclaims: "Chamillionaire proves he's ready for the big time with The Sound Of Revenge."

The album, which features a dream-list of in-demand producers and guest-artists, such as Kool & Dre (The Game), Scott Storch (50 Cent), David Banner, Mannie Fresh, and The Beat Bullies (Big Boi/Outkast), is spawning fevered responses and promotions. Such as the recent "Spend The Day With Chamillionaire" an EBay auction, that rewarded one lucky auction winner (who bid an incredible $6,100) the opportunity to spend the day with Chamillionaire during his hectic in-store release date on November 22nd. The day broke several debut sales records for Chamillionaire in the rapper's hometown of Houston, as well as creating an online buzz, garnering near-unanimous 5 Star ratings on Amazon.com as well as receiving more than 200,000 profile views on the popular fan destination Myspace.com.

Chamillionaire is currently on the road doing spot dates in various markets including Phoenix, Oklahoma, Amarillo, Indianapolis, Birmingham, Dallas and El Paso.
