Whoa, Nelly!
''Whoa, Nelly!'' is the debut album by Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado. It was released in North America on October 24, 2000 by DreamWorks Records. It peaked at number twenty-four on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 chart, and opened to critical acclaim. It produced three international singles: "I'm Like a Bird", "Turn Off the Light" and "... On the Radio (Remember the Days)". "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was a club-only single released exclusively in the U.S. before the album's availability in stores,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Discogs )〕 and it was included on the soundtrack of the 1999 film ''Brokedown Palace''. When "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was released, Furtado's label was unsure about the genre in which to market her. They eventually remixed "Party's Just Begun (Again)" and included it on this album as "Party". The DreamWorks label released "Trynna Finda Way" as the fourth single in Mexico and South America, and "Hey, Man!" as the fourth single in the UK and Germany. The album spent seventy-eight weeks on the ''Billboard'' 200. It hit double-platinum status in the U.S. in January 2002.〔(RIAA )〕 After the release of the album, Furtado headlined the ''Burn in the Spotlight'' tour and appeared on Moby's ''Area:One'' tour. According to ''Maclean's'' magazine, ''Whoa, Nelly!'' has sold 9 million copies Worldwide as of 2015. The album also caught the eye of record producer Timbaland, who later signed Furtado to his record label.

As a result of critical acclaim, this album received 4 nominations at the 2002 Grammy ceremony.
