Plan B's Top Selling Album of 2010 in The UK Coming To America

11/05/2010
. Atlantic Records are bringing the UK's top selling album of 2010 across the Atlantic next year when they release Plan B's The Defamation of Strickland Banks in the U.S. in March 2011.

Here is the background the label sent over: Plan B (Benjamin Paul "Ben" Drew) was influenced highly by his love of classic Motown and his appreciation for Eminem, coming into his own, rapping and singing in his own accent.

His album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks, debuted at the top of the UK album charts at #1 and hasn't left the TOP 10 since its release in April. It has since been certified triple platinum and features the #1 UK radio hit "She Said."

Plan B characterizes himself as a director, choosing to portray his films through music. The Defamation of Strickland Banks, follows the life of Plan B's alter ego, Strickland, a sharp-suited British soul singer who rises to fame through his carefully crafted, bitter sweet love songs.

Plan B will be performing at the Mtv Europe Music Awards this weekend (other performers include Katy Perry, Kings of Leon, Shakira) where he is nominated for Best Video & Best New Act

NYC and LA headline dates have just been announced for...
January 11 at The Bowery (NYC )
January 13 at the Troubadour (LA)
