Whoa, Nelly! (2000): Whoa, Nelly! is the debut album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by DreamWorks Records in North America on October 24, 2000 (see 2000 in music). It peaked at number twenty-four on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and opened to critical acclaim. It produced three international singles: “I’m like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light” and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. “Party’s Just Begun (Again)” was a club-only single released exclusively in the U.S. before the album’s availability in stores, and it was included on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Brokedown Palace. When “Party’s Just Begun (Again)” was released, Nelly’s label was unsure about the genre in which to market her. They eventually remixed “Party’s Just Begun (Again)” and included it upon this album as “Party”. The DreamWorks label released “Trynna Finda Way” as the fourth single in Mexico and South America, a radio remix of “Hey, Man!” in the UK and Germany, and “Legend” in South Africa. The album spent seventy-eight weeks on the Billboard 200. It hit double-platinum status in the U.S. in January 2002. After the release of the album, Furtado headlined the Burn in the Spotlight tour and appeared on Moby’s Area:One tour. According to Maclean’s magazine, Whoa, Nelly! had sold six million copies worldwide as of August 2006.
Folklore (2003): Folklore is the second album by Canadian pop singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by DreamWorks Records in North America on 25 November 2003 (see 2003 in music). Folklore includes the single “Força” (meaning “carry on” or “strength” in Portuguese), which was written as the official anthem of the 2004 European Football Championship. Furtado performed the song at the championship’s final in Lisbon, in July 2004. Other singles included the ballad “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)”, in which she embraces her Portuguese heritage; the song deals with “the idea that you can still feel like a minority inside, even if you don’t look like one on the outside”. Additional singles were released in certain territories; “Explode” in Canada and Europe, and “The Grass Is Green” in Germany.
Loose (2006): Loose is the third album by Canadian singer–songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by Geffen Records June 20, 2006 in North America (see 2006 in music). Timbaland and his then-protégé Danja produced the bulk of the album, which incorporates influences of dance, R&B and hip hop. The album explores the theme of female sexuality and has been described as introspective or even sad in parts.The album received criticism because of the sexual image Furtado adopted for the recording, with some[who?] feeling it was a ploy to sell more records. Further controversy rose over accusations of plagiarism on Timbaland’s part when recordings were leaked onto YouTube. The record was seen generally as critically and commercially successful. It reached high positions on charts across the world, and according to a August 2009 press release, it had sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of 2006-2007 and the twenty-second best-selling album of the 2000s.
