One Wish (Deborah Cox album)

One Wish is the second album by Canadian singer-songwriter Deborah Cox. It was released in the United States on September 15, 1998 by Arista Records.

Overview

One Wish was far more successful than its predecessor, achieving two Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles, two US R&B #1 singles, and being certified Platinum.

The album was once again executive-produced by Clive Davis, but featured more uptempo, contemporary r&b, and a slew of new producers and personnel, including Montell Jordan, Anthony "Shep" Crawford, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, DJ Quik, Stevie J and David Foster. It also contained dance/club music. Diane Warren, Daryl Simmons and Lascelles Stephens also returned with contributions to the album.

The success of the album was in part due to the crossover success of the lead single "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here". The song is Cox's most successful entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #2, and remaining there for eight consecutive weeks, making it one of the longest stays at number two in chart history. The song also reached #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, spending a then record-breaking 14 weeks at number one. "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" also reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, making it her third number one song on the dance charts. The song has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America
