Park Jin-young makes it to Billboard Chart
[2006-09-01]An album containing a song written by Korean singer and producer Park Jin-young has made it to the Billboard chart.
Park wrote the song `When Your Body is Talking` for American R&B singer Cassie`s debut album, which ranked fourth on the chart on August 16. The album has come in 14th on this week`s chart and occupies the 33rd place on next week's chart.
`When Your Body is Talking` is contained as a bonus track in the albums, which are sold through the largest U.S. distribution chain, Circuit City. Park`s company JYP Entertainment said, `Album distributor Warner Music put Park`s song on recordings that are sold at a specific distribution chain as a way to promote the album. Such a marketing strategy is common in the U.S.`
Other albums carrying Park`s songs also made it to the Billboard chart previously. Mase`s album `Welcome Back` contained Park`s song `The Love That You Need` and ranked fourth on the chart in September, 2004. Park`s song `I Wish I Made That` was carried on Will Smith`s album `Lost and Found,` which took sixth place on the music chart in April this year.
Pop star and producer P Diddy, Harvard-graduate producer Ryan Leslie, and singer Beyonce took part in the production of Cassie`s album. The U.S. community portal site Myspace.com is being used as a channel for promoting the album.
JYP Entertainment said the album`s ranking on the Billboard chart means that Park has consolidated his status as a successful Asian producer in the U.S.
`Park and P Diddy maintain their friendship and are stilling working together after singer Rain`s concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. P Diddy and Ryan Leslie are strong candidates for major partners of a U.S affiliate of JYP Entertainment. Details on establishing a U.S affiliate will be finalized by late this month,` the company added.
