Ashanti has been a star since his first album. In 2002, she reached No. 1 spot on the Billboard Top 200 and R&B album chars with her self-titled album Ashanti. The album sold 504,593 units in the first week, which set a SoundScan record as the most albums sold by any debut female artist in the chart’s history. That earned her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records, and it has yet to be broken.
The singer has been making history as well, becoming the first Black female artist to partner and become a co-founder of a Web3 tech company, EQ Exchange.
