The old school album that I chose was 8701 by Usher. 8701 was the third studio album by singer Usher. This album had some of my favorite songs and todays classics such as "u got it bad", "you don't have to call", and "u remind me". 8701 was released on August 7, 2001. "u remind me" and "u got it bad" were number one singles and on the billboard hot 100. This album sold over 4.7 million copies in the United States. It debuted at number four on the US billboard 200 chart. 8701 received a 4x platinum certification from the recording industry association of America. The album earned Usher two Grammy awards, three billboard music awards and a BET award. The album was produced by Jermaine Dupri. This was one of the best albums I have ever heard. Even though it's old school I still listen to it as if it was just released. I encourage everyone to go and listen.
