These singles have been massive hits over here:

"Krazy" (featuring Lil Jon)
"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)"
"Hotel Room Service"

I wonder if he'll finally land his first #1 album...

Whitney Houston's comeback album is also being released on September 1, so this may end up debuting a little lower. I think this will debut within the top 5, at least.

I don't know what his opening weeks have been like for his other albums, but now he is on a bigger label and there will be some more promo (hopefully) so the sales might be a bit better.

[El Chiko Kevo]

^ well he does have the 2nd single "Hotel Room Service" already charting in the Top 30!!!

I think Pitbull is more of a singles artist, especially recently. His digital sales have been pretty good for the last few singles.

Pitbull Ready For A 'Rebelution'

Last year, the once mighty TVT Records filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and eventually shut its doors, leaving a number of artists in limbo. But for Miami rapper Pitbull, who signed to TVT in 2004 and released four albums on the label, the turn of events provided an opportunity to break free and prove his bite was as big as his bark.

First Pitbull released the Lil Jon-assisted track "Krazy" last October through the Orchard, the digital music distributor that acquired TVT. The song reached No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Pitbull's highest-charting single at the time.

He then signed a one-off deal with the independent label Ultra Records for the release of the infectious "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)." The track, which was licensed to the Fox show "So You Think You Can Dance," peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in June. It was Pitbull's first top 10 on the chart, and it has sold 1.7 million downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. ("Krazy" is his second-best digital track, with 808,000.)



As if that weren't enough, the rapper found a new home with Polo Ground Records, an indie label started by the A&R executive who had signed him to TVT: Bryan Leach. Pitbull will release a new album, "Rebelution," in conjunction with RCA Music Group and his own Mr. 305 label, Sept. 1.

" 'Rebelution' stands for a fighter. I feel like I've been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn't," Pitbull, born Armando Perez, says of the set's title. "It also stands for situations within my family and all the political issues back in Cuba."

Pitbull worked with producer Jim Jonsin, who executive-produced the album, as well as Lil Jon, Collipark, Play-N-Skillz and Drop. Jon, Akon, Pharrell, T.I., Trick Daddy, Jackie O. and Jennifer Lopez are among the collaborators.

"Pit's the type of person that goes from city to city and picks up on what's hot and applies it to his music, so the direction on this album is ever changing and growing," says Jonsin, who has been friends with Pitbull for seven years. "There is realness about him that all people should have. If you have the time to get to know him, you love him. He should run for governor."

The album also features the follow-up single, "Hotel Room Service," which is No. 9 on the Hot 100 this week; "Call in the Wild," dubbed "an international soccer stadium record" by Leach; and "Blanco," which is featured in the recent "Fast & Furious" movie.

There is a narration on the album that gives the impression listeners are taking a tour of Miami-more uptempo, dance songs are introduced as representing South Beach, and other tracks stand for different neighborhoods. "It's a way to further show how I've been raised in Miami and why I have so many different musical influences," Pitbull says.

Leach says the rapper is a high priority for the label. "At TVT there was no marketing, so no one took the opportunity to showcase who Pit was. People knew his records, but not him. That's what I'm putting most of my energy into," he says.

An online contest for a "Miami-style makeover" will launch on Pitbull's social networking site, PlanetPit.com; the grand prize is a full spa day in the city.

Offline, Pitbull appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" July 16, is reading scripts for possible movie roles and going on tour starting Sept. 18. There's also a deal with Sony Latin to assist with crossover plans, including appearances on soap operas and hosting opportunities, as well as his label Mr. 305, to which he recently signed Cuban-American singer Niya.

"Our goal is to really expand and put Pitbull and his brand on the map. He's got records, but his artistry hasn't been displayed like we plan to," RCA/Jive chairman/CEO Barry Weiss says. "Pitbull has a rap sensibility but pop upside potential. The rap weight has always been there, but no one ever really tapped into his true pop potential. With 'Calle Ocho' being No. 2 on the charts, this just sets a precursor for some really big things."

And Pitbull is ready for just that-bigger and better. "My time at TVT was not a battle, but more so me beating someone else at their own game-being strategic and playing chess," he says. "It was a blessing. It feels like I went through four years of school of hard knocks and learned from it. I sat back, studied and learned, and when it was my time to strike, I did."

:o :o :o Ok so let me get this straight he has a song with J.Lo!!!!?!?!

[sghosal22]

I really want Pitbull to do well.

His singles off this album are doing major things, and if he has a song with J-Lo, i can see another top 10 hit!!

it turns out shes not on the tracklist ... maybe he'll be on her album!

[starr]

Pitbull's new album is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The iTunes album comes with a bonus track for pre-orders only.

[sghosal22]

Are there any other albums dropping on September 1st?

What are the chances of Pit getting a #1 album??

Also, what are you guys estimating he will sell in the first week?

The release has been moved up a day in the U.S. to August 31, because that is also the cutoff date for the Grammys. Whitney Houston's comeback album I Look To You and Miley Cyrus' Walmart exclusive EP will be released on the same day.

I think Whitney may be #1 that week with 175-225K opening numbers. Then I think Pitbull could open with at least 150-200K. Then Miley with 75K to 150K. If there's additional promo for some or all of them, the numbers could be a bit higher and the #1 position will be up for grabs.

[SHOOTER]

I'll be shocked if Pitbull crosses 100k first week with this album. He's a singles artist and his label hasn't heavily announced the release of the album.

Leaked!!

My Review:

Pitbull – Rebelution
Release Date: August 31st, 2009

1. Triumph (Feat. Avery Storm) 8/10 =
This is a perfect way to start off the album. This is real deal Pitbull. It reminds me of his old stuff!

2. Shut It Down (Feat. Akon) 10/10 =
Now we have a collaboration with Akon, and most people would say ‘oh boi here we go again… “ but this is definitely an awesome club banger. The rhythm is fantastic and will fill up any dancefloor.

3. I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) 10/10 =
This is Pitbull’s highest charting song to date. “I Know You Want Me” was definitely the song of the summer and hit #2 on the Billboard Charts!

4. Girls (Feat. Ke$ha) 10/10 =
This song starts of with a little conversation between Pitbull & Ke$ha which immediately adds a sexual essence into this fantastic jam. Warning this is very addicting!

5. Full Of Shit (Feat. Nayer & Bass III Euro) 9/10 =
Here we have yet another addicting song. The chorus may seem a little repetitive but it works out.

6. Dope Ball (Interlude) N/A

7. Can’t Stop Me Now (Feat. The New Royals) 9/10 =
Here we have a song that samples The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” and with southern Miami flavor makes for a bass bumping head knocker.

8. Hotel Room Service 10/10 =
Nothing is catchy then this song, especially the chorus. “Hotel Room Service” is the 3rd single off the album and has already reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100.

9. Juice Box 8/10 =
The beat is very nice with its Military feel. This song definitely goes hard.

10. Call of The Wild 9/10 =
Now this dark, bass bumping beat with a slight electro feel will definitely have people looking around when you come rolling down the street in your car! Awesome song!

11. Krazy (Feat. Lil Jon) 10/10 =
This electro/hip-hop jam had all the dancefloors screaming. This also samples Federico Franchi's 2007 song, "Cream". “Krazy” was the 1st single from the album which reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

12. Give Them What They Ask For 7/10 =
This is definitely one the lesser songs on the album. It’s got a very slow/laidback hip-hop feel.

13. Across The World (Feat. B.o.B.) 8/10 =
This song is a little different with it’s melodic twilight melody. I kinda don’t know how to describe it.

14. Daddy’s Little Girl (Feat. Slim of 112) 8/10 =
The title explaines it self. “Daddy;s Little Girl” is a very meaning and deep song from Pitbull. In this song we notice the hardships Pitbull went through with references to his mother and his father.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10
Although this album is missing some latin flavor from Pitbull’s previous releases “Rebelution” will probably be Pitbull’s highest selling album to date. “Rebelution” contains his 3 highest charting songs so far which shows that Pitbull is not joking this time around!

[Music Fan]

Leaked? Imma go look for that!!

Pitbull will be at Hard Rock Cafe in Universal City, California Monday. The first 400 who buy his album there will get a chance to meet him ;)

[shaq91]

The album is amazing!! I'm probably gonna buy it!
