Sleeping in the Nothing
Encyclopedia : S : SL : SLE : Sleeping in the Nothing
Sleeping in the Nothing is the second album from pop star Kelly Osbourne, daughter of famous rocker Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath. Unlike the pop/punk sound of her first album, Sleeping in the Nothing features Kelly singing to 80s inspired electro beats. For the role of producer, Kelly worked with Linda Perry, widely known for working with artists such as Pink, Christina Aguilera, Courtney Love and Gwen Stefani.
Single and Chart Performance
The first single from the album, "One Word", made a major impact on the US dance audience, peaking at #1 on three Billboard dance charts. Kelly Osbourne became the first artist in the history of the Billboard charts to top all three dance surveys in the same week. The single also reached #9 in the UK Singles Chart. Unfortunately, the album peaked at #117 on the Billboard Top 200 selling just under 9,000 copies, despite receiving some favorable reviews. Nonetheless, it showed that, while Kelly might not be a mainstream success, she did have a cult audience within nightlife culture.Tracklisting
