The Dutchess
(2006)		 -

The Dutchess is The Black Eyed Peas member Fergie's 2006 solo debut. The title is a misspelling of the title "the Duchess of York", as Stacy and Sarah Ferguson, the real Duchess of York, share a surname and nickname. will.i.am was an executive producer for the album. Ludacris, B-Real from Cypress Hill and Rita Marley all make guest appearances.[1] Fergie has made it clear in interviews that she will still be an active member in The Black Eyed Peas.

Released on July 182006, "London Bridge" was The Dutchess' first single. Making one of the largest jumps in the Billboard Hot 100 chart's history, "London Bridge" reached the #1 spot for three consecutive weeks. The second single, "Fergalicious," was released on October 232006 and became a top five hit on the Hot 100.

The Dutchess debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 in the United States with sales of over 150,000.

[edit] Miscellanea

  • If you wait approximately a minute after the last (13th) track entitled Finally, there is a bonus track called "Maybe We Can Take A Ride".
  • After the album's release, Fergie claimed its title, The Dutchess, was spelled with an extra "T" to add her own trademark to it to so it can separate her from the "The Duchess Of York"
  • A latest trademark from Fergie is nearly every song will have a bridge with a completely different tune such as a slow and smooth beat for London Bridge and a Stevie Ray Vaughan-esque style for Fergalicious.
