Biography

Cornell Iral Haynes, Jr. (born November 2, 1974), better known by his stage name, Nelly, is an American hip hop recording artist, entrepreneur, investor and occasional actor from St. Louis, Missouri. Nelly embarked on his music career with Southern hip hop group St. Lunatics, in 1993 and signed to Universal Records in 1999. Under Universal, Nelly began his solo career in the year 2000, with his debut album Country Grammar, of which the title-track was a top ten hit. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and went on to peak at number one. Country Grammar is Nelly's best-selling album to date, selling over 8.4 million copies in the United States. His following album Nellyville, produced the number-one hits "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma" (featuring Kelly Rowland). Other singles included "Work It" (featuring Justin Timberlake), "Air Force Ones" (featuring Murphy Lee and St. Lunatics), "Pimp Juice" and "#1".

 

With the same-day dual release Sweat and Suit (2004) and the compilation Sweatsuit (2006), Nelly continued to generate many chart-topping hits. Sweat debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 342,000 copies in its first week. On the same week of release, Suit debuted at number one, selling around 396,000 copies in its first week on the same chart. Nelly's fifth studio album, Brass Knuckles, was released on September 16, 2008, after several delays. It produced the singles "Party People" (featuring Fergie), "Stepped on My J'z" (featuring Jermaine Dupri and Ciara) and "Body on Me" (featuring Akon and Ashanti). In 2010, Nelly released the album 5.0. The lead single, "Just a Dream", has appeared in the top ten of several singles charts and were certified platinum in the United States. The second single is "Move That Body" (featuring T-Pain and Akon). "Gone" is the sequel to Nelly's 2002 worldwide number one single "Dilemma", also with Rowland, and serves as third single from Nelly's album.

 

He won Grammy Awards in 2003 and 2004 and had a supporting role in the 2005 remake film The Longest Yard with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. He has two clothing lines, Vokal and Apple Bottoms. He has been referred to by Peter Shapiro as "one of the biggest stars of the new millennium", and the RIAA ranks Nelly as the fourth best-selling rap artist in American music history, with 21 million albums sold in the United States. On December 11, 2009, Billboard ranked Nelly the number three Top Artist of the Decade. - Wikipedia

Not feeling this Nelly track. I prefer Hey Porche, even though it was pretty generic.

This is not a song.

Get Like Me! Yay for this going top 20

This sounds quite...2005, I don't know why. I actually like it on first listen, a hell of a lot better than that Hey Porsche shite.

Im glad Lucy Spraggan charted higher than Nelly

Jameela joining in at the end there was the best thing about the song :wub:

Oh ha, Jameela just reminded me why it sounded like 2004/2005 :lol:

Biography

By the time Sheffield-raised, Canterbury-born photograph salesperson Lucy Spraggan had received rapturous applause for her performance of the witty, self-penned "Last Night" during an X Factor 2012 audition, the singer/songwriter already had a self-released album to her name. October 2011's Top Room at the Zoo mixed an observational lyrical style inspired by the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner with a playful, lighthearted vocal delivery that recalled Kate Nash. Once Spraggan's audition had been televised, by early September Zoo had reached number 22 on the U.K. albums chart, while "Last Night" just missed out on the Top Ten of the same week's singles chart. - iTunes

Yay really happy this has gone top 20, loved her X Factor audition with this song. :wub:

'Last Night (Beer Fear)' :wub: 'Mountains' is so much better, but this is still very good! ^_^

2004 01 My Place / Flap Your Wings -1- / -1-

Was this the last 'proper' double A side to get to number 1?

it still annoys me that they blocked this from the charts last year. it would have peaked at number 2!

Edited October 6, 201312 yr by Herbs

Funnily enough I went out to Cardiff last night and heard Drop It Like It's Hot in one of the clubs. Haven't heard it for years :lol:

Lucy Spraggan could be on her way to being the female Frank Turner if her last 2 songs are anything to go by.

 

I wonder how much Lucy got paid for all that product placement in that song.

My gym always plays Lighthouse by her, I'm not a massive fan, but its quite good to see a slightly more 'credible' popstar stemming from X Factor.

It's My Party :puke2:

This is the 5,000,000th version of this tune. I think it's safe to say that it's time to stop covering this song.
