''Nina Sky'' is the debut album by hip-hop/reggaeton group Nina Sky. The album debuted on Billboard Top 200 Albums Charts at #44. The album went on to sell 341,000 copies according to Nielsen Soundscan." The lead single "Move Ya Body" went on to receive a RIAA Gold Certification. The second single was Turnin' Me On, but did not match the success of "Move Ya Body". In 2004, The Jettsonz introduced the girls to Cipha Sounds, a hip hop DJ under the Star Trak label owned by The Neptunes (Pharrell and Chad Hugo). Cipha Sounds was impressed when he heard the girls sing and suggested that they use the "Coolie Dance" riddim. The twins then proceeded to write "Move Ya Body" (along with The Jettsonz, who also produced the record), mixing Caribbean rhythms. Eventually, a demo of the song was made. The demo fell into the hands of Eddie O'Loughlin, the president of Next Plateau Entertainment (which is a division of Universal Records). O'Loughlin signed the twins to a contract and they started working on their debut album. The single "Move Ya Body" was released on April 27, 2004 and reached number 17 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Urban music and rhythmic top 40 stations quickly added the song to their play lists, sending the song up the charts. By July 17, "Move Ya Body" had gone to the top 5 on both sides of the Antlantic and had also reached the top 5 of a world combined R&B chart based on the US, UK, Germany, France and Australia. The song had also reached the top 50 of the Australian charts. The twins, Natalie and Nicole continued to work and promote their music. They have contributed to the reggaeton movement with songs such as "Oye Mi Canto", and "Más Maíz" with artist and producer N.O.R.E.. They were also featured artists on Sean Paul's song "Connection" from his album ''The Trinity''. ==Singles== * The album's first single was Move Ya Body. It was released on April 27, 2004. Music video was released in April. The song charted at number 4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number 22 on the 2004 Billboard Year-End Chart. It also reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart. It was certified Gold by the RIAA in early 2005. Its B-side is a song "In a Dream". Nina Sky were often regarded as one-hit wonders, since Move Ya Body was the duo's only single to reach top 40 on Billboard Hot 100. The song ranked at number 250 on Blender's 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born. * The album's second and final single was Turnin' Me On. It was released on January 13, 2005. The single did not make the same success like previous single "Move Ya Body", but it reached number 5 on Bubbling Under Hot 100. There were three remixes released for the song: One remix features Cham, in which it's featured on the Kopa riddim compilation album. The second remix features Pitbull and Shawnna. The third remix is Kassanova Remix, which is used for their second mixtape album La Conexion. 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「Nina Sky (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
