Mary Jane Blige is an R&B, soul, and hip hot soul singer-songwriter, occasional rapper, record producer, actress, and hip hop icon who has sold more than 40 million records and over 10 million singles worldwide. She is widely known as the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul", and has also received over 26 Grammy Award nominations for her work, winning eight, also awarded the World Music Legends Award for contributing hip-hop and soul together like no one else during the early 90's. Early in her career, Blige's highly personal songs and gritty voice earned her comparison to soul singers who preceded her, including Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin; however her artistic evolution and commercial success throughout the years have allowed her to exert her own influence over a new generation of artists.
Mary J. Blige seemingly came out of nowhere in 1992 with the release of What's the 411?. Both fans and critics alike were astounded by the albums raw emotion and the R&B, Hip-Hop flavor. This album produced several hits first charting with "You Remind Me" which reached #1 on the R&B charts. "Real Love" followed reaching #1 on the R&B charts and #6 on the pop charts. With each successive album Mary J. Blige became wiser, and her music more expressive of who she was, but it still kept the unique soul and hip-hop blend. More hits followed on subsequent albums such as "Sweet Thing," off of What's the 411? Remix, "Not Gon' Cry" from the album Share My World and "All That I Can Say" from her sixth album entitled Mary. In December of 2005 she released her eighth album The Breakthrough which peaked at #1 on the R&B charts and has produced two hit singles. The first "Be Without You" peaked at #5 on the pop charts and the second "Enough Cryin" is currently in the #2 spot on the R&B charts
