Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous Girl (2006)


"Promiscuous Girl' is a dance-pop/R&B song recorded by singer Nelly Furtado and Timbaland for Furtado's third album, Loose (2006). Furtado, Timothy "Attitude" Clayton, Timbaland and Danja wrote the song, and Timbaland and Danja produced it. The song lyrics feature a conversation between a man and woman who call each other a "promiscuous" boy or girl. "Promiscuous" was released as the first single from Loose in North America in early 2006, and as the second single elsewhere in mid-2006 except in Latin America, where the single was released as the third single in late 2006. The song received positive reviews and became Furtado's first number-one single in United States. It won in the Best Pop Song category at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, was nominated for the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals Grammy Award at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards and won Single of the Year at the 2007 Juno Awards. The song got a number 3 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2006. It is the most recent track to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Dance Club Play charts simultaneously.


On May 4, 2006, "Promiscuous" debuted inside the top five on the Canadian Singles chart, and on June 1, it became Furtado's second Canadian number-one single. After descending from the top ten, it reascended to number two after the release of Loose. "Promiscuous" spent twenty-five weeks on the Canadian Singles Chart, but was the year's shortest-running number-one single, but it became one of the biggest selling singles . The song peaked at number two on the BDS Airplay Chart and became one of Furtado's most successful single releases in her home country since " I'm Like A Bird', released in 2001. In the U.S. "Promiscuous" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty-four, the week's highest debut. It topped the chart for six weeks, from July 8, 2006, and it became Furtado's first U.S. number-one single. The song topped Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play and Pop 100 charts and reached the Hot RnB/Hip Hop top forty. On the Billboard year-end chart it was ranked third, the highest placing for a single by a female artist.  As of August, 2009, the song has so far sold over 2,504,000 digital downloads in the United States.   It was released in Europe on August 18, 2006 and reached number three in the UK. On December 31, 2006 BBC Radio 1 reported that "Promiscuous" was the thirty-eighth highest selling single in the UK in 2006.  The single re-entered the UK Singles Chartat number sixty-six in January 2007.  It made the top ten in most European nations. In Latin America, the single was released as the official third single, and in some countries the song was leaked to radio (in Peru, Colombia and Mexico). On December 4, 2006, "Promiscuous" won "Best Pop Single of the Year" at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards. (source : wikipedia)
