Jennifer Lopez 2007
Lopez's second album, J. Lo, was released on January 23, 2001 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. When her film The Wedding Planner achieved number one shortly after, Lopez become the first actress-singer to have a film and an album at number one in the same week. The lead single, Love Don't Cost a Thing, was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She followed it up with Play which gave her another top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK. Her next two singles were I'm Real and Ain't It Funny which were quickly rising up the charts. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to remix both songs, which featured rap artists Ja Rule (on both) and Caddillac Tah (on the Ain't It Funny remix). Both remixes reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks. She re-released J. Lo on her thirty-second birthday with the remix of I'm Real as a bonus track. Also, Si Ya Se Acab? was released in Spain, due to the success Que Ironia. The album has sold 12 million copies to date.
