8701

''8701'' is the third studio album by American R&B recording artist Usher; it was first released on August 7, 2001, by Arista Records. Recording was handled by several producers including The Neptunes, Jermaine Dupri, Babyface, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Mike City, Bryan Michael Cox, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. It was intended for an October 31, 2000 release under the title ''All About U'', the album was delayed numerous times, following the leak of several tracks onto the online music store Napster. Usher subsequently recorded new tracks and released the album under the new title, ''8701'', which is derived from Usher singing for the first time in his local church in 1987 and the album's release date of 2001.
''8701'' takes inspiration from multiple artists, including Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson. It follows the theme of Usher's relationship experience, along with the emotions of love and heartache. Usher promoted the album by embarking on the supporting tour, Evolution 8701 Tour in 2002, to which it he performed in forty-four shows across North America. He also made appearances in television shows, including ''Live! with Kelly'' and ''Total Request Live''. ''8701'' produced two ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number one singles – "U Remind Me" and "U Got It Bad" stayed on top for four and fives weeks, respectively.
The album debuted at number four on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, with 210,000 copies sold in its first week. It has sold over 4.7 million copies in the United States, receiving a 4× platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA); worldwide sales stand at over eight million. ''8701'' received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Usher's vocals and development as an artist, but were ambivalent towards some of the album's material. The album earned Usher numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, three ''Billboard'' Music Awards and a BET Award.
==Background==
Usher had initially planned to release the album entitled ''All About U'', as his third studio album on October 31, 2000. The album was to follow his successful ''My Way'' (1997) which to date, has sold over seven million copies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Usher )〕 On March 13, 2000, multiple tracks from the album had leaked on to online music store Napster several months prior to its release, including "T.T.P.", "U R the One" and "Pop Ya Collar".〔 Following the event, the album's release was delayed twice, on December 5, 2000 to July 17, 2001.〔 During the taping of MTV Icon Janet Jackson special, Usher explained that he returned to the studios to record new songs, stating "I didn't want that to be the way my record was remembered or the way I would present that to my fans () It turned out a lot better" while adding that tracks that were available for download on the site were not going to be included on the new album.〔 With new tracks produced, Usher's publicist announced a new name for the album, under the title ''8701'', who claims that it is "practically a new album". The origin of its new name was initially unknown, with speculation that it subsides with its US release of August 7, 2001 (8/7/01), though Usher's publicist claimed that this was purely coincidental, and was not the reasoning for the title.〔 Usher hinted that it was derived after something significant to him, and he would disclose it in the upcoming months.〔 Eventually, his spokesperson revealed that the '87' segment of the title refers to the year 1987, when Usher sang in public for the first time at his church in Atlanta, with the '01' referring to the year 2001.
