After months of recording, the band's self-titled debut album was released to mixed reviews on August 22, 2006 in the United States. Produced by Timbaland, Scott Storch, Rodney Jerkins, Mario Winans and Ryan Leslie among others, the album sold over 90,000 copies in the first day of release, and over 234,000 in the first week of release. It debuted at number one on the U.S. "Billboard" 200 albums chart, knocking veteran Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics" from the top spot and out-selling hip-hop duo OutKast. The album received a platinum certification from the RIAA in November 2006.
