'On the 6' is the debut studio album by American recording artist Jennifer Lopez, released on June 1, 1999 by Work Records. It debuted at number eight on the U.S. Billboard 200 the week of June 19, 1999, with first-week sales of 112,000 copies, remaining in the top 20 for 11 weeks and on the chart for 53 (including one re-entry). It has sold seven million copies worldwide and produced five singles, including the Billboard Hot 100 number one "If You Had My Love" and the Hot Dance Club Play number one "Waiting for Tonight". The album's title refers to the 6 subway line in New York City, which Lopez used to commute to work in Manhattan from her home in the Bronx during the early years of her career. The original title for On the 6 was Feelin' So Good since Lopez wanted the song "Feelin' So Good" to be the lead single instead of "If You Had My Love". The album includes cover versions of two songs by Diana Ross: "Promise Me You'll Try" and (as a bonus track on select non-U.S. pressings) "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)". Since Work Records was absorbed into Epic Records, Lopez signed to Epic and later pressings of On the 6 were released by Columbia Records. |
