Pretty Ricky's "Bluestars" Sparkles Like Gold

"BLUESTARS," the debut album from group Pretty Ricky, has been certified gold by the RIAA for U.S. sales exceeding half a million units. Released May 24th, the album features the top-charting single, "Grind With Me." Executive Producers of the set are Craig Kallman and Joseph "Bluestar" Smith.

The certification comes just as the Miami-bred sibling quartet has headed out on the road as part of the eagerly awaited "BET Presents Scream Tour IV Festival: The Heart Throbs 2005." The cross-country trek - which kicked off July 20th in Trenton, NJ and wraps up September 4th in Miami, FL - sees Pretty Ricky sharing a stage with a number of the biggest names in modern R&B, including Bow Wow, Omarion, Marques Houston, Bobby Valentino, and B5.

"Grind With Me" has hit the #3 spot at both CHR/Rhythmic and Urban radio, as well as the top 20 at CHR/Pop outlets nationwide. "Your Body," the sultry second single from "BLUESTARS," has already bulleted into the top 20 at CHR/Rhythmic radio, two weeks before its official impact date.
