''7'' is the seventh full-length studio album by Lebanese recording artist Nancy Ajram, released on September 6, 2010, to wide commercial and critical success, to follow the footsteps of Ajram's previous sets, making her one of the most successful Arabian female artists of all time. The album explores a new set of sounds and genres including Dance, Techno and R&B on one hand, but still keeps the musical style that Nancy had created over the years, that is the Egyptian and Lebanese dance-folk sound, on the other. The latter has given Nancy her biggest hits ever, including "Ah W Noss," "Ya Tabtab" and "Lawn Oyounak." Critics gave ''7'' largely positive reviews, favoring its shift to more modern and global sounds, and its ability to join these sounds with local music and 90's Arabian themes. Lyrically, the record speaks of love, admiration, heartbreak and relationships, subjects that Nancy had spoken about in previous sets. In addition, other songs extend to deeper meanings about life, childhood and family. The lead single, "Fi Hagat," is her first ballad to be delivered as a leading promotional track. It peaked atop the charts on multiple Arabian charts, most significantly HitMarker, where it occupied the apex for fifteen consecutive weeks, the longest run on the number one in the history of the chart. With the second single, "Sheikh El Shabab," the album continued to break records when the song debuted atop the chart, replacing the first single. The feat was never reached before. The album's third single was "Ya Kether". The fourth and final single was "Meen Ma Ando?". The album has sold over 5 million copies worldwide as of June 2013. ==Development and release== Nancy gave the first preview of the album during Nichan's show "Akid Akid Maestro" in Ramadan 2009, when she sang parts of two songs, "Sallemooly 3aleih" and "Sheikh elShabab". The former was excluded from the album, and was released as a single at the 2010 New Year's Eve, and achieved huge success among Arab radio stations. This was Nancy's first cooperation with Egyptian producer Tamim, who did the arrangements for three songs of the album. Nancy then announced she will be singing a song that refers to her relationship to her parents and child, "Hkayat el Deni" (Stories of Life), previously named "Ghafwet Eini". News of "Bayyaa' we Shater" was also announced beforehand, as it was previously known as "Assly". The album was rumored to have been titled "BelHadawa" which was to be album's lead single. However, the song leaked unofficially several months before release and the lead single had changed. In her appearance on "Khaleek Bel Beit" with Zahi Wehbi, Nancy explained: Initially, the album titled was rumored to have changed from "BelHadawa" (which leaked months before release) to "Einy Aleik". A few weeks before release, however, it was announced that the final decided album title was "7", marking Nancy's seventh studio album in her career. This was initially scheduled for release by early summer of 2010, but due to the occurrence of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, for which Nancy recorded the official Middle East song, as well the Islamic Holy Month of Ramadan, it was delayed until early September. The final release date was announced to be September 6, and six songs were distributed to pan-Arab local stations to promote the album, as well a teaser ad on her official Facebook (page ). Nancy promoted the album majorly online, via her official website and Facebook fan page, which is the biggest Arabic fan page on the site. The whole album, however, leaked on the internet and become available for download on dozens of forums on September 2, and the company accidentally announced the release of the album on that day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「7 (Nancy Ajram album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
