Jessica Simpson: Albums
built 678 days ago
Simpson was born in Texas on July 10, 1980, and she was almost born to be a star. She grew up singing in church choirs, and spent many years of her childhood touring with a Baptist singing troupe. Her talent grew, and ultimately, iconic producer Tommy Mottola heard one of Simpson's demo tapes and signed her to a recording contract. Since that time, Simpson has released five studio albums, and she has sold over 12 million records worldwide. Simpson is a star in nearly every sense, so a night with her will be an opportunity to see a multi-talented artist continue to gather fans and fame.

Released during the summer of 2001, Simpson's second effort Irresistible reached the top ten of the Billboard 200 and top twenty of the Canadian album chart. Despite this improvement over her debut, the album's sales were less than satisfactory; to-date, it has only managed to be certified gold in the U.S. for selling 500,000 copies. The title track lead single, "Irresistible", reached the top twenty in the U.S., Canada, and the UK, as well as the top forty in Australia. A follow-up single entitled "A Little Bit" was ... released, but failed to achieve substantial success. In 2002, Columbia Records released a EP remix album titled This Is the Remix containing electro-dance remixes of Jessica's biggest hits.

Simpson attended J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. She was discovered singing at a church camp by a head of a small contemporary Christian record label and recorded an album over the next three years; ... the label folded before the record could be released. She dropped out in her senior year in order to tour and promote her demo album, which was funded by her grandmother, Joyce (thus the reason for the name of her 2004 holiday album, Rejoyce: The Christmas Album); she later earned her GED. During this time, she toured with the Christian Youth Conference circuit performing with Kirk Franklin, God’s Property and CeCe Winans. She and her father sold copies of the album after her performances.
