I've started playing the Real Life mod, by YoungLondon again. I created Yay Me records, as London Tipton with $1b dollars. I also made London as an artist who I signed with a Lifetime 360 Deal to Yay Me Records.
I then set London to work in Early 2013 on her debut album, "Yay Me". I requested collaborations with Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Eminem, but all three declined. The album was written by Katy Perry, Bonnie McKee and Sia Furler, and produced by the dream duo, Max Martin and Dr Lukasz Gottwald. The tracklist for the album is as follows:
1. RIOT! (Katy Perry & Max Martin)
2. Yay Me (Katy Perry & Max Martin)
3. Money (Bonnie McKee & Dr Luke)
4. Fight Through The Night (Katy Perry & Dr Luke)
5. So Far So Good (Katy Perry & Max Martin)
6. Ballad of a Broken Heart (Bonnie McKee & Max Martin)
7. Losing Game (Sia Furler & Dr Luke)
8. Crush (Sia Furler & Dr Luke)
9. Letter From My Heart (Bonnie McKee & Max Martin)
10. Before It's All Said and Done (Bonnie McKee & Dr Luke)
11. Lullabies and Goodbyes (Bonnie McKee & Dr Luke)
Yay Me has spawned 4 singles; Fight Through The Night (14.8m), Money (5.0m), Yay Me (10.5m), Ballad of a Broken Heart (9.7m). The singles currently chart on the all-time worldwide singles chart at #1, #26, #2 and #3 respectively. In addition, Yay Me is so far the biggest album of all-time (11.7m). No other albums have crossed the 5m mark. London is officially the best selling artist of all time with 53.5m record sales from one era. More detail on London's chart progress is below:
London's debut tour, Yay Me Starring London Tipton, grossed $210 million from 3 legs (105 shows). In 2 years, London has also been nominated for 27 high-profile awards, and been invited to perform at the Grammys in both 2014 and 2015. The following awards have been won by London:
American Music Awards - Favorite Latin Artist (2013)
People's Choice Awards - Favorite Female Artist (2013)
NRJ Music Awards - Francophone Song of the Year (2013)
NRJ Music Awards - International Song of the Year (2013)
Much Music Awards - Pop Video of the Year (2014)
American Music Awards - Favorite Latin Artist (2014)
American Music Awards - Single of the Year (2014)
Billboard Awards - Top Billboard 200 Album (2014)
Billboard Awards - Top Hot 100 Song (2014)
NRJ Music Awards - International Song of the Year (2014)

London is now on a 3 month break and then will start recording her second album, Really Great, due for release sometime in 2016. Meanwhile, Yay Me Records have been researching unsigned artists. Former Epic Records artist, Foxes, was signed to Yay Me records on July 31st 2014. She will tour the UK extensively in 2015 and will most likely release a Greatest Hits album. Yay Me Records also signed Adele in December 2014, as we paid her out of her new 360 Deal with EMI Music. Adele released a surprise Greatest Hits album in January 2015, which was #1 in both the UK and Europe. Adele will rest for the majority of the year, and most likely release at the end of 2015.
