American R&B singer Ginuwine has released eight studio albums, 36 singles and four compilation albums. He has sold more than 6.98 million albums in the United States.[1] Originally a member of the musical collective Swing Mob in the early 1990s, he made his deubt as a solo act with his 1996 debut album Ginuwine... the Bachelor, released through 550 Music and Epic Records. Chiefly produced by Timbaland, it became a top thirty success in the United States,[2] where it was eventually certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and culminated domestic sales in excess of 2.0 million units.[3] The album produced a number of singles, including the worldwide hit single "Pony," follow-up "Tell Me Do U Wanna," and "When Doves Cry," a Prince cover.[4]
In 1998, Ginuwine's single "Same Ol' G" from the soundtrack of the film Dr. Dolittle (1998) became a top 20 success in the Netherlands.[5] It was later included on his second album 100% Ginuwine, released in March 1999. The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[6] As with The Bachelor, it was certified 2× Platinum in the United States,[3] where it sold more than 2.0 million copies.[7] "So Anxious," the project's third single, became its biggest hit, reaching number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[8]
In 2001, after a period of personal tragedy,[9] Ginuwine released his third studio album The Life. Introducing a major shift of his trademark sound due to Timbaland's absence on the album,[10] it opened at number three on the US Billboard 200, becoming his highest-charting album yet.[2] It reached Gold status in October of the same year,[3] while sales amounted to just under 1.4 million units.[11][12] Lead single "Differences" became Ginuwine's highest-charting single since "Pony," reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100.[8] It also charted internationally, reaching number two in the Netherlands,[5] while also peaking at number 20 on the New Zealand Singles Chart.[13]
In 2002, Ginuwine appeared alonside P. Diddy on "I Need a Girl (Part Two)" from Bad Boy Records' remix album, We Invented the Remix (2002). Issued as a single, it became top five hit in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.[8] The same year, "Stingy," the lead single from the Barbershop soundtrack, peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top ten of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[8][4] The following year, Ginuwine's fourth album The Senior was released. The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 and became his first album to reach the top spot on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[2] With US sales of over 863,000 units,[14] it was certified Gold by the RIAA.[3] The Senior produced three singles, including lead single "Hell Yeah" and follow-up "In Those Jeans," which peaked at number 17 and number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.[8]
In November 2005, Epic released the singer's fifth studio album Back II da Basics. It debuted at number twelve on the Billboard 200 and number three Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums,[2] with total sales reaching 176,000 copies in the United States.[15] With singles such as "When We Make Love" failing to impact on the charts, the album ultimately resulted in the termination of his contract with Epic.[16] After his departure from the label, Ginuwine signed with Notifi and Asylum Records and released his next album A Man's Thoughts in 2009. It opened at number nine on the Billboard 200 and scored him his second number one album on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[6] Lead single "Last Chance" became a top three hit on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[4] Later albums did not achieve the same commercial success, though 2011's Elgin, his second project with Notifi, debuted at number seven on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[17] Ginuwine's latest solo effort, A Ginuwine Christmas, released in October 2011, failed to chart.[6]
