in the pop diva big leagues." Rolling Stones Rob Sheffield wrote that "with producers like Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and Jim Jonsin, Danity Kane are positioned to inherit the legacy of O-Town." John Bergstrom, writing for PopMatters, argued that "instead of being eclectic or even disparate, Danity Kane is full of the clattering, mid-tempo, bass-heavy, spaced-out grooves that currently dominate mainstream hip-hop and "R&B." It sounds good as far as this type of thing goes. Every so often, the production is even interesting [...] But most of the rest runs from undistinguished to intolerable." Commercial performance Danity Kane debuted and peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard 200, selling 234,000 copies in its first week. This marked the highest chart opening as well as the biggest first week sales for any Making the Band season winner. On Billboards component charts, the album debuted and peaked number two on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and the Tastemaker Albums chart – only behind Outkast's Idlewild (2006). On October 24, 2006, it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), followed by a platinum certification a month later for the shipment of over 1,000,000 copies in the United States. In total, Danity Kane had sold 935,000 copies domestically by 2008. Elsewhere, Danity Kane entered the charts in Germany and Switzerland, peaking as number 50 on the German Albums Chart and number 95 on the Swiss Albums Chart.
