KEM's 'It's You' Spends Four Consecutive Weeks Atop UAC Charts

Three-time GRAMMY®-nominated artist KEM's newest single, "Nobody," is #1 on the Urban AC charts for a fifth consecutive week. "Nobody" is the second #1 song from KEM's fourth studio album Promise to Love, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 on August 25, 2014. Promise to Love's lead single, "It's You," spent four consecutive weeks (five weeks total) atop the UAC charts.

Currently, KEM can be seen performing in cities across the U.S. on the Forever Charlie Tour, along with the legendary Charlie Wilson and Joe Thomas. The concert tour, with upcoming stops in cities including Dallas, New Orleans, Houston and Los Angeles, has been getting excellent reviews. Examiner.com says, "... at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena the Forever Charlie Tour was an inter-generational ride of love and expression bringing out fans of all ages, and cultures. KEM's stage presence is larger than life, backed by a six-piece band and beautiful backing singers, he instantly turned the arena into a love lounge, as fans sang every high and low note eagerly and cheerful to witness his musical gifts."

KEM is grateful for the success that Promise to Love and the tour are experiencing. He says, "This is the first time we've had two #1's on the same album. And this honor comes in the midst of selling out arenas with the Forever Charlie Tour. I can't say enough to express my heartfelt appreciation to all the fans, radio programmers and DJs, my label and my team. It's truly a blessing."
