1:43 mini-album sold out

MANILA, Philippines - OPM POP heartthrobs 1:43 (pronounced as “one forty-three”) have released their much-anticipated debut slambook-album with a bang by landing on the No. 2 spot of the Odyssey Music and Videos’ best-selling OPM album chart for April 26 to May 1.

The slambook album or “slambum” titled Time for Love under MCA Music features interesting and revealing trivia about the boys of 1:43; exclusive photos; and a collection of feel-good original Pinoy pop songs, including their minus one versions. It was reported that copies of the album were sold out in certain record bars on the day of availability.

“It was a pleasant surprise to know that copies of the 1:43 debut mini-album were selling very well. We have underestimated its demand particularly among the Facebook fans of the boy band and we are right now addressing the shortage,” say talent manager and music producer Chris Cahilig.

1:43 is composed of four talented, charming, and stylish lads, namely, Anjo Resurreccion, a University of Santo Tomas Psychology graduate and a member of a university theater group; Gold Aquino, a Business Administration student from the Centro Escolar University (CEU) and a campus heartthrob; Kim Nicolas, a Nursing student from Trinity University of Asia and a Candy Magazine model; and Yuki Sakamoto, an Hotel and Restaurant Management student from CEU-Makati and the main vocalist of the group. The boy band was initially marketed in social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube before their official release.
