The album produced the smash hit "My Love Is Like...Wo" and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.〔 Following a label change to Universal Motown, Mýa's oft-delayed fourth studio album, ''Liberation'' (2007), received a download-release in Japan only after her label accidentally leaked the album. With the decision to go independent and a decline in her popularity in the United States, Harrison was offered a recording contract with Manhattan Recordings (a division of Lexington Corp.), a record label based in Japan. Through that label, she recorded two exclusive albums for the Japanese music market, ''Sugar & Spice'' (2008) and, most recently, ''K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy & Simple)'' (2011).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mya Interview 4Eight Media )〕 In between recording those two albums, she launched her own independent record label Planet 9, and competed in ''Dancing with the Stars'' – season nine; finishing in second place. Aside from a music career, Harrison branched out into acting; making her feature-film debut in 1999's thriller ''In Too Deep'' starring LL Cool J and Omar Epps. She continued to score supporting roles in films such as ''Chicago'' (winning a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble Cast); ''Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights'' (2004); ''Shall We Dance?'' (2004); and ''Cursed'' (2005).〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=IMDb )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 9th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards )〕 She has endorsed several brands such as Coca-Cola, Gap, Iceberg, Tommy Hilfiger, and Motorola. Harrison's contribution to music has earned her many accolades in the fields of pop and R&B music categories. In 2009, ''Billboard'' listed Mýa as one of their Hot 100 Artists of the 2000s; placing her in the 97th position.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hot 100 Artists )〕 As of October 2009, she has sold 3.2 million albums in the United States alone and 7 million albums worldwide. ==Biography== 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「Mýa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
