Say It Right

While Nelly Furtado became known first for her song “I’m Like A Bird,” which hit number 9 back in 2001, it would be a number of years later before she would top Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart.  In 2006, she teamed up with Timbaland to hit number one with “Promiscuous.”  Then, exactly five years ago today, Furtado hit number one a second time, when “Say It Right” rose to the pinnacle for a one-week stay.  While “Promiscuous” spent more weeks at number one in the United States, and both “Promiscuous” and “Say It Right” went double platinum in sales, based on chart performances around the world, “Say It Right” is arguably Furtado’s biggest hit internationally.
