[I]n 2006, Fergie fulfilled a dream she had since her Wild Orchid days—making her own solo album. With The Dutchess, she reached the top of the charts with such hits as “London Bridge,” “Glamorous,” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” Fergie shows off her ability to handle diverse styles and moods on the recording, from emotional ballads to hip-hop infused dance tracks to songs with reggae-flavored undertones.

Fergie maintains her No. 17 spot, selling 22,095 copies of her debut solo album, The Dutchess. Seventy-one weeks after the album's release, Fergie continues her reign to the tune of 3,375,600 records sold.

Fergie, the music magazine’s 2007 Woman of the Year, did have a big 2007, with her debut solo album, The Dutchess, among the top-selling records of the last 12 months. But she’s ... suffered her share of indignities.

Fergie then decided to put away the microphone for awhile. ”I was basically burned out, not so much as for the music but more as for how the whole industry works and all this hassle and bullshit you have to deal with, apart from doing good music.” After some years in the restaurant business, Fergie felt the passion for music again, and he recorded an album with his all-time buddy Ricky Phillips (Frederiksen / Phillips), released in 1994.
