NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Super producer Sergio George continues his chart domination this week with five of the Top Ten albums on the Billboard Tropical Sales Chart, four of which were released via his Top Stop Music label.

Following that at #2, and also featuring contributions from Anthony, is the CD/DVD "Salsa Giants," dethroned by "3.0" after four weeks at #1.

Also on this week's chart from Top Stop Music are the self-titled album from Leslie Grace (#4) and two releases from Prince Royce (#6 & #7).

Marc and I have been collaborating for so long now that I am never surprised by his success but always honored to be a part of it. Also, to see this type of chart dominance further shows that Top Stop Music has established itself as a major player in the space, for which I am extremely proud!"
