Major international electronic musician deadmau5 has debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart with his sixth studio album “W:/2016ALBUM/” released on mau5trap. “The set is the mouse man’s third leader, following 2012’s “album title goes here” and 2014’s “while(1<2)”,” writes Billboard’s Gordon Murray (12/15/16). “Dating back to “4×4=12”, which started at No. 2 six years ago (Dec. 25, 2010), deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman) has drawn six consecutive top-three debuts. deadmau5 also appears on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for the first time in two years, as two tracks [“Let Go” featuring Grabbitz, “4ware”] from “W:/2016ALBUM/” pierce the list.”
Along with the chart position news, deadmau5 released on YouTube an exclusive performance/BTS video set to Let Go (feat. Grabbitz), the lead single from “W:/2016ALBUM/”. The video-which captures deadmau5 and his crew preparing his new cube and mau5head going into performance–is part of YouTube’s partnership with deadmau5 in support of the launch of “W:/2016ALBUM/”. On 12/1, deadmau5 live streamed a “live from rehearsals” performance to give fans a sneak peek into music from the new album, and unveiled his updated, custom-built Cube 2.1.
