Akon Smack That with Eminem featured on Konvicted breaks record
Akon?s ?Smack That? with Eminem featured on the R&B singer ?Konvicted? upcoming album breaks Billboard record history after the singer/producer?s latest single went from No. 95 to No. 7 on last week?s Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Akon?s upcoming album Konvicted will be in stores on November 21, meanwhile 67,000 downloads were sold in its first week. ?Smack That? became one the top 10 fastest growing songs at Top 40 radio and is the No. 1 most added song at rhythmic and crossover. The singer/songwriter/producer?s Konvicted, almost entirely produced by Akon, features guest appearances by hip-hop/rapper Eminem ( who also produced ?Smack That?), T-Pain, Snoop Dogg and Styles P.
In other Celebrity news, Akon?s life story will take the shape of a movie, called Illegal Alien, in which 8 Mile star Mekhi Phifer is lined-up to play the R&B singer. The movie will obviously detail Akon?s early life in Senegal and later years in New Jersey.
