Chrisette Michele debuts at #1 on Soundscan

Building on the success of "Epiphany," her current Top 10 single on Billboard's Hot Adult R&B Airplay chart (and Top 20 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart), Grammy Award-winning Def Jam recording artist Chrisette Michele debuts at #1 on Soundscan with first week sales of over 83,000 copies of EPIPHANY, her long-awaited second album.

"Blessed with a curvy, Billie Holiday-like vocal timbre and an exquisite sense of melody, Michele consistently rejects melodrama (take some notes, Amy Winehouse!), instead going further into the nuances of meaningful expression." - LOS ANGELES TIMES

Chrisette will celebrate EPIPHANY's breakthrough with a round of television appearances over the next two weeks: NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (May 22nd), and the CBS Early Show (May 23rd).

On April 28th, she appeared on a critically acclaimed VH1 Soulstages: Chrisette Michele presented by Infiniti. The initimate concert, the first of its kind to air on both VH-1 and VH-1 Soul, will re-air on Monday, May 18th and Thursday, May 21st.

Coming up, Chrisette will share the stage on one of this spring and summer's highest-profile tours, with fellow Grammy winner Anthony Hamilton and soulman Musiq Soulchild. Dates begin May 28th at Reliant Arena in Houston, and wrap up exactly one month later at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte.

Also prior to the upcoming tour, Sephora, the leading beauty retailer in the US, and Chrisette invite fans to join the singer for two special evenings of "beauty-full music." Chrisette will appear­ at the Sephora store in the King Of Prussia Mall (outside Philadelphia) on May 19th.
