Jennifer Lopez Music Info:

López' debut album, On The 6, a reference to the subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill, was released on June 1, 1999 and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. The album featured the multi-week #1 lead single, "If You Had My Love", as well as the top ten hit "Waiting For Tonight". It also contained the Spanish-language, Latin-flavored duet "No Me Ames" with Marc Anthony, which was an international hit, though the song was never released as a single in the US. Despite this, the video received moderate airplay on the US music channels VH1 and The Box as a novelty. The album also spawned another international hit in "Feelin' So Good", a hip-hop track which contained guest raps by Big Pun and Fat Joe; it failed to make the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. "Let's Get Loud" was also released as a single, and became a minor dance hit. "Waiting For Tonight" and "Let's Get Loud" earned Lopez 2 Grammy Awards nominations for the Best Dance Recording category, in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Her sophomore effort, J. Lo, was released in January 2001 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Love Don't Cost A Thing" was her first UK number one single, and, along with its follow-up, "Play" (which was written by rising teen star, Christina Milian) became a top five hit during the year the album was released. The album's next two singles, "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny", ended up becoming her biggest hits ever, with both spending several weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, to capitalize on this, López asked Murder Inc. to remix both songs, completely changing the lyrics and melodies and adding raps from Ja Rule to both songs, and from Caddillac Tah to "Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix)". The "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny" remixes were two of the biggest pop/rap hits in late 2001 and early 2002, respectively, and many consider that their more urban/hip-hop sound gave J. Lo street cred' and opened her up her music to a whole new audiance. She re-released the CD on her 32nd birthday, July 24, 2001, including Ja Rule's remixed version of "I'm Real".

The original version of "I'm Real" sparked controversy when it came to light that it contained a sample of Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Firecracker", originally planned to be used for Mariah Carey's single "Loverboy". Rumors suggest this was the doing of Tommy Mottola, Carey's ex-husband. Carey was forced to scrap the sample, instead using a sample of the Cameo's song "Candy".

Following the successes of the remix, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the effort; the result, J To Tha L-O!: The Remixes, appeared on February 5, 2002. This album, too, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, marking the first remix album in history to enter at the top on the chart. This time around, she got 50 Cent and Nas to write lyrics for two remixes of her next single, "I'm Gonna Be Alright", which ended up becoming another top ten hit. The album also included rarer dance and hip-hop remixes of her past singles, and a new song, a ballad called "Alive", which was included in Lopez's movie Enough.

On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her third studio album, This Is Me... Then, which reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two very popular singles; the top 5 "Jenny From The Block", (sampling the track from the song "Watch Out Now" by the Beatnuts), and including raps from Jadakiss and Styles P and the multi-week #1 "All I Have" featuring LL Cool J. Another single, "I'm Glad", was also released, but only managed to go Top 40, a rather low result considering López' usual chart success. Another song from the album was a cover of Carly Simon's "You Belong To Me".

In 2004, López once again participated in duets with Marc Anthony, this time on his albums Amar Sin Mentiras and Valio La Pena.

After a considerable amount of time away from the music scene, Lopez finally released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. Debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 to initially decent sales success, but the album quickly fell off the charts. Despite this, the album has so-far spawned one hit in "Get Right", which reached the Top 20. Even so, "Get Right" was a huge hit in the UK, becoming her second #1 single there. The second single, "Hold You Down", which featured Fat Joe, the song made it into the top 75 in the US, peaking at #64. It reached #17 in Australia with little to no promotion and managed a peak of #6 in the UK. Later in 2005, it was certified Platinum in the U.S. by RIAA. To date, Rebirth has sold 4 million copies worldwide.

In October 17, 2006, Jennifer López is to release her first Spanish album, titled Como Ama Una Mujer, and now she's also recording her next English album, which is said to be ska-influenced. She was to make her first summer tour, which included countries such as the UAE, Bulgaria, Greece, India, Mexico, and Turkey, but that was later cancelled.
