MIAMI, FLORIDA– A new boy band out of Miami, Florida named Crib Boys has been scorching the music charts with their latest release From The Crib, selling more than 30 million albums worldwide in only its first week and overtaking Katy Perry as the number one pop artist in the world in the increasingly popular B-Pop category.
According to their website, the baby boy band burst onto the scene as soon as their mothers gave birth to them and doctors gave them their first slap of reality. The quartet of ten moth old members consists of Alex the good boy, Jason the bad boy, Heath the older boy and Stu the sensitive one.
Once Crib Boys started gaining popularity over the past month, the band received its own Twitter account, with their number of followers surpassing artists who are much older and who have been on the music scene for decades. Given that artist popularity means that the more followers you have the more you’ll add, it’s no surprise that Crib Boys has come out on top this year.
These five artists currently have the largest overall following on Twitter:
Crib Boys (92,345,128)
Katy Perry (84,656,286)
Taylor Swift (73,088,914)
Rihanna (57,392,903)
Lady Gaga (57,226,697)
Crib Boys is currently signed to Sony Music Entertainment, one of the first agencies to get on board with the latest B-Pop craze. With hit songs such as “Crawl” and “Diaper Daddy” blazing the music charts, it’s no surprise that these babies are doing so well.
“I wrote ‘Crawl’ while crawling on the floor,” said ten month old Alex as the babies gave MTV an exclusive interview. “Writing that song gave me hope that someday I’ll be an inspiration to people and be able to walk.”
“I never dreamed we’d get this big,” said ten and a half month old eldest member Heath through a dark goatee. “We can’t even go anywhere without thousands of girls attacking our baby strollers and asking us for autographs. It’s crazy.”
“One girl tried pulling off my diaper for a souvenir,” said bad boy Jason, lifting up his shirt and exposing a skull tattoo on his belly. “I threw my baby bottle at her, hoping she’d run off. My manager told me that someone sold that bottle on eBay for $50,000.”
Outside of MTV studios, thousands of screaming female fans hung out in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Crib Boys once they leave for their limousine. An MTV reporter on the wild scene proved just how popular Crib Boys actually have become.
“I love them so much,” shouted 13 year old Jessica Steiner from behind a barricade meant to hold back the crowd of enthralled females. “I have their posters and baby pictures all over my room. Me and my sister dance to “Crawl” all night”
When asked by the MTV reporter who her favorite Crib Boys member was, Jessica was uncertain. “I love them all. I love Stu cause he’s the sensitive one, but Alex is so cute. I’m not sure ’cause I like Heath’s goatee since it makes him look so much older than ten months.”
Currently, Crib Boys is promoting the Russian version of their hit “Diaper Daddy” which was released on March 2. Crib Boys is working on a new album Diary of A Baby’s Drama, which is slated for release before Christmas.
