Popstars (Eden's Crush Album)
''Popstars'' is the debut and only studio album by American musical group Eden's Crush, released in the United States by London-Sire Records and 143 Records on May 1, 2001. " Get Over Yourself" was its first single, followed by the album and group's last single "Love This Way". The album was executive produced by David Foster. The album debuted at number six on the US ''Billboard'' 200 selling 99,000 copies. "Get Over Yourself" had been released in March 2001 and was a top ten hit in the United States and went to number one in Canada.

''Popstars'' did, however, go on to sell 500,000 copies in the United States, receiving a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In Canada, ''Popstars'' peaked at number 17 and failed to match the success in the United States. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
