Ashanti's eponymous debut album was released in April 2002, and sold over three million copies in the United States.[1] It produced the number-one hit "Foolish", the top ten hit "Happy" and the top twenty single "Baby".[2] Her second album Chapter II (2003), another platinum-seller, was released a year after and enjoyed international chart success, spawning the top ten hits "Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)" and "Rain on Me".[3] The singer's third studio album Concrete Rose was released in December 2004 stateside and certified platinum by the RIAA one month after release.[4] A minor success in international music markets, however it produced two singles only, including the top twenty hit single "Only U". Following a hiatus and a label switch from Murda Inc to Motown, Ashanti's The Declaration (2008) was released in June 2008 in the United States.[5] Throughout her career Ashanti has sold nearly 15 million records worldwide.[6]
