Nicole Scherzinger discography explained

Artist:Nicole Scherzinger
Studio:2
Singles:27

American singer Nicole Scherzinger has released two studio albums, and twenty-eight singles (including ten as a featured artist, one promotional single and three charity singles). She came into prominence in the early 2000s as a member of the ill-fated girl-group Eden's Crush and then was cast as the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, a burlesque troupe turned-recording group.[1] She has sold over 60 million records as a solo artist and as a member of the Pussycat Dolls.[2]

During the hiatus of the Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger planned to release her debut album, Her Name is Nicole in 2007.[3] [4] After two years of projected release dates and four singles—"Whatever U Like", Baby Love", "Supervillain", and "Puakenikeni"—failed to make any significant impact on the Billboard charts,[1] [4] led Scherzinger to cancel the project and shifted back her focus to the Pussycat Dolls.[5] In 2009, Scherzinger collaborated with A. R. Rahman on a pop version of "Jai Ho" titled "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)";[6] the song was a worldwide success, reaching number one in 17 countries including in Australia.

Following the group's disbandment, Scherzinger released her debut studio album, Killer Love (2011). A moderate success, the album debuted at number 8 on the UK Albums Chart and produced the singles "Poison", "Don't Hold Your Breath", "Right There", "Wet" and "Try with Me" which was included on the reissue.[7] [8] The second single "Don't Hold Your Breath" topped the UK Singles Chart,[9] while third single "Right There" became the singer's highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist. Scherzinger's second studio album, Big Fat Lie was released through RCA Records in October 2014.[10] The album was preceded by the singles "Your Love", "Run" and "On the Rocks".
