Internationally renowned artist Bay-C from the dancehall group TOK has teamed up with Billboard chart-topping artist Xyclone on an EP titled Flawless Victory. It topped the pre-order chart in the days leading up to its March 1 release date and was victorious on the iTunes charts just hours after midnight.
Upon its release, Flawless Victory debuted at number 38 on the USA Top 200 Albums Chart, then climbed its way up to number 28 by 8am. It also peaked at number 30 on the US Top Charts. On the Reggae Albums Chart, it debuted at number 2 a mere 30 minutes after midnight before taking the number 1 spot moments later ahead of Bob Marley’s Legend album.
The iTunes Reggae Singles Chart saw all 6 songs from the EP charting in the top 20, 5 of which made it the top 10. At number 12 was “Wull Heap” featuring Zagga on the Bankx Riddim, also released today by debutant producer Jenelle Alexia from A’Legends Productions, “Get Inna The Grove” was at number 10, “Tight” featuring Shellchapo and KillaImij placed in the number 9 position, then “Bobbysox876”, the title track “Flawless Victory” and “Drip” featuring Konshens closed down the top spots at numbers 5, 4 and 3 respectively.
Xyclone and Bay-C are ecstatic about but not surprised by the performance of their collaborative EP on the charts. Though Bay-C has topped the charts before while being a part of the group TOK, this is his first time reaching number 1 as a solo artist. Xyclone, regarded as the Billboard Kid, has hit number 1 on iTunes with 8 consecutive albums. The experienced pair, who have seen their own individual successes over the years, knows how to make hits and together, the combination was key to finding the perfect formula and reign supreme. They’ve embarked on a Flawless Victory tour that takes them all over the US and will see them heading to Europe as well.
The Flawless Victory EP was produced by Xyclone’s Ejor Media Group and Bay-C’s Bomb Rush Records. It was executive produced by KillaImij Records and distributed by TuneCore.
