Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas (born on October 13, 1980) is an U.S. recording artist, music producer, actress, dancer and model who rose to fame in the early part of 2000. Ashanti is most famous for her eponymous Grammy Award-winning debut album Ashanti which featured the hit song “Foolish”, and sold over 503,000 copies in its first week of release in the United States in April 2002.

The album set a Soundscan record as the greatest opening week sales for a new female artist, outselling the debuts by Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill but as of November 2009, the opening week female sales record has been broken by Susan Boyle. In the same week, Ashanti became the first female performer to hold at the same time the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “Foolish”, and “What’s Luv?” (with Fat Joe). Ashanti broke music records again by having three top ten songs, “Foolish”, “What’s Luv?”, and “Always on Time”, on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the same week, being the first female to accomplish this feat and being second only to The Beatles. As of 2007, she has sold more than 23 million records worldwide, with more than 12 million of these sold in the gUS. Ashanti ended the decade (2000-09) as the third top new R&B artist behind Alicia Keys and Beyonce Knowles. She also ended the decgoodade at # 41 on the Top Artist of the Decade List.

This week’s From The Vault video comes from none other than Ashanti. ‘Only U’ was released in October 2004 the lead single from her platinum-selling ‘Concrete Rose’ LP and peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the only song that Ashanti managed to place the top 20 of the US chart in the last 6 years. The record did even better in international territories where it peaked at #2 on the UK Singles Chart.

If Ashanti wants to return to her position as one of the leading artists in the game then this is the type of material she should be releasing. With a club-banging beat and a brilliant use of the guitar, ‘Only U’ stands as 1 of the best records that she has done to date and is a testament to her skill as an artist.

Furthermore, unlike the dated material of her last album, ‘The Declaration’, this song’s hit potential carries forward to this day. Although many suggested that Ashanti copied the style of her chart rival Beyonce for both the video and it’s accompanying single cover, there is no denying the brilliance of this record. Remember this: Beyonce didn’t invent the wheel. Tina Turner.
