Dance Revolution is the debut and only album from American girl group, The Slumber Party Girls. It was released on October 3, 2006 by Geffen Records.

Promotion

"My Life" was released on May 8, 2007 as the album's lead and only single. It is also featured in The Movie and on its soundtrack.

Music videos for "Dance With Me", "The Texting Song", "Salsa", "Summer's Gone", "Make a Wish", "My Life", "I Got Your Back", "Carousel", "Back to Basics", "Good Times", "Countdown", "Bubblegum" and "Eavesdroppin'" were produced to promote the album. They are currently available for purchase on iTunes.

The group further promoted the album through live performances, mostly on Dance Revolution since they were the show's house band. All songs, except "The Slumber Party Girls Theme" and "Dance Revolution Theme", were performed on the show. They also made a guest appearance on The Early Show on the album's release date to promote it and performed "Countdown". During that special guest appearance, they spoke of a made-for-TV movie and television series in development, but due to the group's disbandment in the summer of 2007, those projects were cancelled.

Despite heavy promotion on the album, It failed to chart on the Billboard 200 chart or any major chart and was a commercial failure.

Critical reception

The album earned mixed reviews from music critics. Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album a positive review, calling it "With good beats and hooks, It's absolutely nothing that hasn't already been done a million times before, but for what it is, it's done pretty well". However, Bullz-Eye.com's Jason Thompson panned the album. criticizing it's forgettable and disposable pop sound. He also noted that none of the songs were memorable, saying "They’re all as wretched and forgettable as you would imagine they are. There is nothing here even worth making fun of in a completely base way, it’s that pointless". He gave the album zero stars out of five.
