Career
[edit | edit source]After signing with Universal Republic Records, Shop Boyz began to record their first album, Rockstar Mentality, which featured rock-influenced hip hop.[2] The album's lead single, "Party Like a Rockstar," was released in May 2007 and achieved commercial success, reaching number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 (the #1 song on the Hot 100 at the time being Rihanna's "Umbrella") and becoming the highest-selling ringtone of 2007.[3] Rockstar Mentality was released on June 19, 2007, debuting at number 11 on the US Billboard 200, which had sold 200,000 copies as of 2007.[4][5] The follow-up single, "They Like Me", performed at number 98. The group was eventually released from Universal and moved to another label.
In August 2008, Shop Boyz released "Up Thru There" as the lead single from their second studio album.
