Singer and actress, Christina Milian celebrates the 18th year anniversary of her debut album, as she took to her social media page to express gratitude to God on how far she has come since her self-titled album.
Taking to her Instagram page on Thursday, pregnant Christina Milian who is expecting her second child, in celebrating her self-titled debut album, posted her album cover with this caption:
“Crazy to think just 18 years ago today I released my self titled debut album worldwide (except the U.S. Unfortunately 9/11 put a screeching halt to the album release in the U.S. so my American fans never got this one),” she said.
“However, having written & released songs like ‘A.m to P.m’ ‘When You Look at Me’ etc managed to help offset the craziness that was happening and make people everywhere feel good in such a dark time,” Milian continued.
Her debut single “AM to PM” did get a release in the States and charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at No. 27.
Despite no album release in North America, the record went on to be a success internationally.
The album peaked at No. 23 and spent 23 weeks within the top 100 in the U.K. Both the singles released, “AM to PM” and “When You Look At Me” entered the top three. To date, Milian has racked up six top 10 singles in Great Britain.
Christina went on to release her next two albums in the U.S. It’s About Time and So Amazin’ and has had all three of her studio albums enter the top 10 in Japan.
One of her biggest singles, “Dip It Low,” taken from It’s About Time, topped the U.S. Dance charts. It peaked at No. 2 in the U.K., No. 3 in New Zealand, No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and No. 7 in the Netherlands. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album
