Jennifer Lopez, also known as J. Lo or Jenn. Jennifer Lopez’s 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 DAN hit, though the song was never released as a single in the US. 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.
This album, too, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, marking the first remix album in history to debut (or even reach) #1 on the chart. 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… In 2004, Lopez 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, the album quickly fell off the charts and remains to be Lopez’s biggest commercial (not to mention critical) failure yet. The single “Cherry Pie” release was cancelled by Sony Records, although it did debut in charts around the world due to radio air-play.
Jennifer Lopez has now confirmed that she will be releasing her first ever full spanish album in Early 2006.
Jennifer Lopez became engaged to Ben Affleck and confirmed this in November 2002, after Affleck gave her a reported $3.5 million ring. But the marriage planned for September 14, 2003 in Santa Barbara, California was called off a few days before the event. However, Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in a secret wedding on June 5, 2004, less than a week after his divorce was finalized from former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. The couple has since confrmed their marriage, although Lopez refuses to elaborate publicly on her marriage to Anthony.
