24/7 is the first album by the pop singer-songwriter Dino. He wrote and arranged all the songs, produced the album, played keyboards and programmed drums. The album itself was certified gold by the RIAA. [2] In 1989, 24/7 reached #34 on the Billboard 200 and #47 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums for Billboard. [3] [4]
In the US, five singles were released from the album. The first, "Summer Girls", appeared as a 12-inch single in 1987 on the independent label L.D. Records. It was re-released in 1988 after Dino had signed to 4th & B'way/ Island/ PolyGram Records, and reached a peak position of number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100.
