Whoa, Nelly! is the debut album by Canadian R&B/soul singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, released by DreamWorks Records in North America on October 24 2000 (see 2000 in music). Slant magazine called it "a delightful and refreshing antidote to the army of 'pop princesses' and rap-metal bands that had taken over popular music at the turn of the millennium."[1] The sound of the album was strongly influenced by musicians who had traversed cultures and "the challenge of making heartfelt, emotional music that's upbeat and hopeful."[2]

It peaked at number twenty-four on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and produced three international singles: "I'm Like a Bird", "Turn off the Light" and "...On the Radio (Remember the Days)". "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was a club-only single released exclusively in the U.S. before the album's availability in stores,[3] and it was included on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Brokedown Palace. When "Party's Just Begun (Again)" was released, Nelly's label was unsure about the genre in which to market her. They eventually remixed "Party's Just Begun (Again)" and included it upon this album as "Party". The DreamWorks label released "Trynna Finda Way" as the fourth single in Mexico and South America, a radio remix of "Hey, Man!" in the UK and Germany, and "Legend" in South Africa. The album spent seventy-eight weeks on the Billboard 200. It hit double-platinum status in the U.S. in January of 2002.[4]

After the release of the album, Furtado headlined the Burn in the Spotlight tour and appeared on Moby's Area:One tour. According to Maclean's magazine, Whoa, Nelly! had sold seven million copies worldwide as of August 2006.[5]

One of the songs on this album, "Scared of You" has portions of the song in Portuguese, while "Onde Estás" is entirely in Portuguese, the official language of Portugal, which reflects Furtado's Portuguese heritage.

At the 2002 grammy ceremony, this album received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, while Furtado herself was nominated for Best New Artist, as well as, Song of the Year and Best Pop Female Vocal Performance for "I'm Like a Bird", in which she received the latter.
