However, some critics found the album to be a "dud" and others saying "Ciara seems to go almost unnoticed." The album debuted at number three on US ''Billboard'' 200, with sales of 81,000. ''Fantasy Ride'' became Ciara's third consecutive album to debut within the top three on that chart, making her only the fourth female artist to do so during this decade. As of December 16, 2010, the album has sold around 250,000 copies in the US, failing to match the success of previous albums ''Goodies'' (2.7 million copies) and ''Ciara: The Evolution'' (1.3 million copies). The album has spawned three commercial singles: the US R&B top ten "Never Ever" with Young Jeezy, worldwide hit "Love Sex Magic" with Justin Timberlake, and "Work" with Missy Elliott, which only reached top 60 on international charts. It also spawned one US radio single "Like A Surgeon". A compilation album titled ''Fantasy Ride: The Mini Collection'' was released in late July, the album also garnered numerous accolades including one nomination at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and one nomination at the 52nd Grammy Awards. ==Production== At the start of 2008, Ciara began working on her third album. She became executive producer of the album, with LaFace Records A&R coordinator Mark Pitts. The first recording sessions saw her working with producers Tricky Stewart, Danja, Jasper Cameron, and The-Dream.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ciara Billboard Magazine Spread about Fantasy Ride )〕 In an interview from a concert, Ciara stated that she worked on two tracks with Justin Timberlake and his production team The Y's which will appear on the album. Spike Stent was involved in mixing tracks for the album which Ciara recorded at Chalice Studios. Ciara stated in 2008 that she wanted her third album "to take fans on a musical journey". ''Billboard'' magazine initially reported that the album would be released across three discs, each representing a different theme and featuring stylistically similar songs.〔 Danja executively produced the ''Crunktown'' and ''Kingdom of Dance'' cuts while the ''Groove City'' offerings were overseen by Tricky Stewart and Jasper Cameron.〔 The ''Groove City'' recordings were intended to remind fans of the ''Evolution'' era. The first single "Never Ever" (featuring Young Jeezy) falls under this theme and is similar to previous single "Promise". ''Crunktown'' tracks are remincent of single "Goodies" and the trademark genre that Ciara is associated with. "High Price" (featuring Ludacris) was the original lead single and an example of what Ciara had created under the crunk theme. The final recordings where up-tempo pop-tinged, house, and freestyle cuts under the theme ''Kingdom of Dance'' which can be heard on the album's second single "Love Sex Magic" (featuring Justin Timberlake). However, during an interview the editor of ''Vibe'' in April, magazine Ciara confirmed that along with changing management she had dropped the three disc idea. The editor previewed six of the songs recorded for the album. Music retailers such as Amazon, Target and HMV went on to list a single-disc standard edition and 2-disc deluxe edition (with DVD) of the album confirming that the album would no longer feature three discs. 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「Fantasy Ride」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
