Mario Winans
Winans' Album Nears Platinum
Mario Winans has become a Top 10 staple on the Pop and Hip-Hop charts since his album came out five weeks ago.
This week, Winans' Bad Boy debut Hurt No More claims the #6 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and is #9 on the Top 200 Albums chart.
The album has currently sold over 950,000 copies and is approaching platinum due to the popularity of the smash hit "I Don't Want To Know," which currently ranks #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart.
"I Don't Want To Know" features a sample from Enya's "Bodecia" and verses from P. Diddy.
Hailing from a renowned gospel family, Mario Winans is upholding his family's name with his recent success. The Detroit native plays various instruments including the piano, drums and keyboard. He has also written and produced songs for Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, David Bowie, Beyonce, Carl Thomas, Jennifer Lopez and is currently working with Toni Braxton.
Winans is currently preparing to film the music video to his follow-up single, "Never Really Was" featuring Lil Flip. He is also currently gearing up for a tour throughout Europe.
