98* TO SET ALL TIME RECORD AT TOP 40 MAINSTREAM RADIO

*First Single 'Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)' From New Album Revelation Ablaze at Radio* NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal recording artist 98 Degrees demonstrated its ability to sizzle the competition at Top 40 Mainstream radio: their first single "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" from their forthcoming album broke the record for most-added single ever at the format. Britney Spears' "Oops I Did It Again" held the record previously with 155 adds (out of a panel of 172 stations) in one week. The harmony-driven foursome topped her number by 15 with 170 adds this week. "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" is the first single from 98 Degrees' eagerly-anticipated forthcoming release, Revelation, which is scheduled to hit stores on September 26th. It is the group's fourth record and the follow-up to their five-times-platinum album, 98 Degrees And Rising, which garnered three Top 10 hits "Because of You," "The Hardest Thing," and "I Do (Cherish You)." The group, which is composed of Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre, recently filmed a video for "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)" at the Mayan Ruins in Mexico with director Wayne Isham.

98* TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM CALLED ' REVELATION ' ON SEPT 26TH 2000

New York, N.Y. - Universal recording artists 98°- (NICK LACHEY, DREW LACHEY, JEFF TIMMONS and JUSTIN JEFFRE) will release their new album, Revelation, on September 26. The first single, “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” a sizzling, Latin-laced up-tempo, will be igniting radio stations across the country in late July. Revelation, the group’s fourth album, is the much-anticipated follow up to their multi-platinum selling release, 98° and Rising, which has sold over five million albums to date and garnered three Top 10 hit singles “Because of You,” “The Hardest Thing” and “I Do (Cherish You)”. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced mainly by Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson with Carl Sturken & Evan Rogers, Rhett Lawrence and Sam Watters & Louis Biancaniello, this album does well to not only showcase the group’s talent as individuals, but marks their collective evolution as one of the industry’s premiere talent-rich bands. Revelation runs the gamut of energy, classic showmanship and keening passion with an exceptional array of a cappella interludes, spirited up-tempos and 98°’s own unique blend of signature harmony-infused ballads, mostly written or co-written by the Ohio foursome. 98° recently wrapped filming a video to accompany “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche),” with director Wayne Isham at the Mayan Ruins in Mexico. The band will begin rehearsals shortly in Los Angeles for a Disney Concert special airing in October. In the meantime, fans will be able to catch their special appearances on numerous upcoming television specials which include the Teen Choice Awards (FOX), MTV’s “Making Of The Video,” The Miss Teen Pageant(CBS), USTA’s Arthur Ashe Kid’s Day Concert (CBS), and Summer Music Mania (FOX) which will begin airing in August.
