New York, NY (November 24, 2007) – With everyone in America already singing “No One,” and with a few excellent, nationally televised performances mixed in, Alicia Keys continued her year-end momentum by grabbing the top spot on the Billboard 200 with the debut of her fourth album, “As I Am.”

The beautiful piano-playing singer-songwriter moved 742,400 copies in her first week, giving her a fourth consecutive No. 1 debut.  She sits behind only Kanye West’s “Graduation” tally of 957,000 for this year’s biggest debut.  While her work continues to draw mixed reviews from critics asking her to fully realize her potential and stop playing it safe, fans came out in droves to support her.  “As I Am” features John Mayer, and production help from Kerry “Krucial” Brothers and the very hip Jack Splash.
