Maxwell

Maxwell scored his biggest first-week album sales as BLACKsummers’night topped Billboard’s album chart, moving 316,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Maxwell’s First single Pretty Wings is also No. 1 on USA TODAY’s urban adult-contemporary airplay chart and is much deserved!

After taking a 8 year break, Maxwell was not sure if his fans would embrace him or not.

“It’s almost career suicide to take a break and just not release music like I did,” says Maxwell, 36. “But to have people still care, I just don’t know what to say and how to explain it. I’m just so happy because it validates the music I did in my 20s.”

It is evident Maxwell fans have not gone anywhere but with music this good who would?

Congrats to Maxwell…A true class act!
