Santana’s New Smash-Hit Album Hits the Stores
Santana’s “All That I Am” CD, protected by MediaMax, was released this week by Arista Records
MediaMax, the best selling and most accepted content protection and enhancement technology in America, has been included on Santana’s newest CD, “All That I Am.” This album joins Alicia Keys’ soon-to-be Gold MediaMax CD “Unplugged” still in the Top Ten on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart!
The new album “All That I Am” is filled with special guests and superstars in a similar fashion to their blockbuster album Supernatural. The guests include Mary J. Blige, Outkast's Big Boi, Steven Tyler, Michelle Branch, Joss Stone, Sean Paul, Los Lonely Boys, Bo Bice and many others. It should be a cinch to take the No. 1 spot on the charts this coming week.
An earlier Santana album, “Supernatural,” sold over 14 million copies in the USA. It remains the best selling album of all time by a Latin artist, according to Guinness World Records. It also won nine Grammys at the 42nd annual Grammy awards including Album Of the Year, Best Rock Album, Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year.
Santana followed that historical release with his first No. 1 debut, “Shaman,” which sold nearly 300,000 copies in its first week — more than enough to chart at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Both MediaMax Technology Corp. (OTCBB: MMXT) and SunnComm International Inc. (OTC: SCMI), the maker of MediaMax, earn royalties for every disc manufactured containing its proprietary copy management and enhancement software.
More to come!
