(Record Co Hype) "READY," the new album from Songbook Entertainment/Atlantic recording artist Trey Songz, has made a phenomenal chart debut, entering Billboard's "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" tally at #2. The album � which includes the hits "I Need A Girl," "LOL :-) (Feat. Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy Tell 'Em)," and "Successful (Drake & Trey Songz)" � also exploded into the #3 spot on the overall SoundScan/Billboard 200.

What's more, "READY" is proving a digital blockbuster, debuting at #2 on this week's SoundScan "Digital Albums" chart. The "Deluxe Version" and the standard edition of "READY" are currently standing tall at #1 and #2 respectively on iTunes' "Top R&B/Soul Albums" chart. In addition, the album's "Deluxe Version" is ranked at #11 on iTunes' comprehensive "Top Albums" tally.

The superstar singer is now poised to hit the road as headliner on the upcoming "BET Live! 106 & Park Tour." The coast-to-coast trek � which also features Mario, Day26, and Sean Garrett � will launch on September 29th at Los Angeles' House of Blues and then travel the country through mid-November (see attached itinerary).
As if all that weren't enough, Trey will be among the luminaries performing at the upcoming VH1 Hip-Hop Honors 2009, slated to tape later this month at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York. The star-studded event � which this year commemorates the 25th anniversary of Def Jam Records � will then premiere on VH1 on Tuesday, October 13 at 9PM ET/PT (check local listings).
