"In some cities and states, I'm gonna make a guest appearance," the mogul promised. "Do a light 15 hits. I'm not gonna bore you with, like, 40. I'mma just hit you with 15 real quick verses to really get the place rocking."

"Big ups to Danity Kane," says Willie. "They been out before and have a lot of fans. Day 26 is new. [But] we did take the No. 1 spot our first week."

"It was a blessing just to be number one," says Que. "A lot of artists come out and a lot of artist that been out, don't go No. 1 or they're No. 1 for a day and then No. 10 or No. 12 the next day. But we stayed No. 1 for a whole week. It was a blessing especially coming off a reality TV show and into the music business."

P. Diddy, who oversees the reality series, announced the outing yesterday (4/15) on MTV's "TRL." He also revealed that MTV cameras will document the tour for the new season of "Making the Band," which will air in late summer.

BILLBOARD: YOU HAVE TWO WEEKS OF BACK-TO-BACK NO. 1 ALBUMS ON THE BILLBOARD 200 FROM TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS. DID YOU EXPECT THIS KIND OF SUCCESS FROM DANITY KANE AND DAY26?

Combs: I didn't know really what to expect. I felt that Danity Kane would have a strong follow-up -- I didn't really know that the new group would be as well-received as they have been. The miracle about both these groups is if you look at their radio play and radio pitch -- and their video pitch is just starting -- this is really coming off the strength of their fan bases. The sky is still the limit as far as growth potential for both of these groups.
