Cadillac Records - Music From The Motion Picture Spends 37 Weeks In Top 10 Of Billboard's Blues Albums Chart & 27 Weeks At #1!

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadillac Records - Music From The Motion
Picture, the critically-acclaimed Music World/Columbia Records soundtrack
album, has proven the year's biggest success on America's Blues Albums charts.

Propelled by Beyonce's emotional rendering of "At Last," the song she
performed at the 2009 Inaugural Ball for President Barack Obama and Michelle
Obama's first dance as First Couple, Cadillac Records - Music From The Motion
Picture has ruled the Billboard Blues Albums chart since its release on
December 2, 2008, spending more than six months (27 weeks) at #1 and 37
consecutive weeks in the chart's Top 10 (or better).

Created as the musical accompaniment to "Cadillac Records," the film
chronicling the history of Chicago's Chess Records starring Adrien Brody and
Beyonce Knowles, the film's soundtrack introduced a whole new generation of
music fans to classic American blues through classic rhythm & blues covers and
new soul sounds performed by Beyonce, Solange, Jeffrey Wright, Raphael Saadiq,
Mos Def and others.

Cadillac Records - Music From The Motion Picture is produced by
multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/drummer Steve Jordan (Eric Clapton, John
Mayer Trio, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards) and Executive Produced by Mathew
Knowles for Music World Entertainment, Inc. Marshall Chess, the son and nephew
of the original Chess Records founders, served as Executive Music Producer for
the soundtrack.

Cadillac Records - Music From The Motion Picture is available in both a
standard and a deluxe two-disk edition.
