K soldiers, this in 2007 when my good sis Rihanna was smashing with Umbrella. OMD and I Like were smashing. Everything was smashing. The hype from OMD and I Like made the album pass up LAH in sales. I had won Grammys for SOTY, ROTY, and Best Pop Vocal Perforamnce for Hit The Lights, and Best Dance Recording bringing my total Grammy amount to seven from two years. 6 #1s. I wanted to do something a little slowed down. I released a midptempo song called A Million Miles Away. It was about coming into your own as a young person entering the world. It failed to reach #1 in the US but still sold 5 million WW respectively. Perfect way to end the era. That era gave me 14 million albums sold, 9.2 million from Oct. 2006 to January 2008. After people thought I would. Flop after going. Pop and setting off the dance pop trend, I got my highest selling album to date. More awards, more acclaim, and I topped Forbes three years in a row. 2005 with 116M, 2006 with 157M, and 2007 with 138M. (411M. My bandmates had 150m and 120m empires just from the group alone, we all had our own identities but I was the one with the solo career
) I also went on my first solo tour, the AMMA tour, which grossed 143 MILLION.
Then 3LW returned in May 2008 with continued my slayage. The first single fire, went #1 in 23 countries. People missed 3lw and I didn't sing lead which allowed the other two to have some shine. The next single, DAMAGED did fairly well WW as well, selling 4 million. The album went on to sell 6 million WW.
I took a break from music. Around 2007 I had met a football player bamed Derwin. We dated for four years.
