chris brownWhat a way to introduce yourself to the music world by putting out an album entitled by your own name. Well that’s what Chris Brown did in 2005 and it seems to have worked has he has done very well since. From his first single Run It which got to number two, he has had many chart entries and collaborations. Including his first number 1 Turn it Up Louder.
 


Beyonce –Dangerously  in Love (2001)

dangerouslyinloveWhile she was in girl band Destiny’s Child, Beyonce produced a solo album during a time where they focused on their own projects. Releasing her first solo album Dangerously In Love, which debuted at number 1, the first single Crazy in Love is an unforgettable track that is danced to in the clubs still to this date, with all the girls, and some guys, doing that booty popping move she did in the music video.

 

 

Sam Smith – In The Loney Hour (2014)

Sam_Smith_In_the_Lonely_HourSam Smith first burst onto the music scene by lending his vocals to Disclosure’s Latch in 2012 and then he had a number 1 with Naughty Boy and La La La.
