Why don't you just say you are not sure who Brandy is? For you to sit her and say that you don't know her hits is shady as F#^$. She was one of the top selling artists of the 90's. A significant feat since the 90's was saturated with tons of R&B acts. Brandy is and always will R&B royalty. Those that choose to dismiss are not fans of the music industry and its history. A simple google search would have answered your questions.
Her song The Boy Is Mine is also one of the longest running number one songs in the United States, and is one of the best selling duets of all time. In 1999, Billboard ranked Norwood among the top 20 of the Top Pop Artists of the 1990s.[145] In 2010, Billboard included Norwood in their Top 50 R&B and Hip Hop Artists list of the past 25 years.[146] Norwood was one of the youngest artists nominated for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.[147] Her second album Never Say Never appeared in the "Top 100 Certified Albums" list by the RIAA.[148]
Norwood's vocal stylings have had a significant impact on the music industry, most notably with contemporary R&B, pop and gospel genres, where she is often subjectively referred to as the "Vocal Bible".[149] Her work has influenced numerous artists, including Jessie J,[150] JoJo,[150] Bridget Kelly,[150] Olivia,[150] Emeli Sandé,[150] Jordin Sparks,[150] Tank,[150] Teyana Taylor,[150] and Elle Varner,[150] while Norwood's vocals have been praised by several of her peers, including Natasha Bedingfield,[150] Missy Elliott,[150] Jennifer Hudson,[150] Syleena Johnson,[150] Lil' Mo,[150] Brian McKnight,[150] Jill Scott,[150] Angie Stone,[150] and Tamia.[150] Additionally, on many occasions, Norwood has been thought of as a talented artist that music producers and songwriters have used to enhance their own artistic and creative energies.[151][152]
Songwriter Sean Garrett credits the vocal work on the album Full Moon for his approach to writing, saying "I take a lot from what [Brandy] and Rodney did on the Full Moon album. I was extremely impressed with it and I always try to outdo that album".[153] B.Slade spoke of the album, commenting Full Moon single-handedly changed the vocal game. "It has been the template for vocal choices and background vocal arrangements [for years]."[154] R&B singer Melanie Fiona, especially admired the singer's work on that album.[155] Neo soul singer India.Arie often cites the album, particularly the song "He Is" as being the template for a wide array of singers."[156] The oft-praised vocal work on the album sparked the idea of Norwood gaining the subjective nickname the "vocal bible".[157][158][159] Canadian R&B singer Keshia Chanté credited the album for inspiring her writing for her album Night & Day, while American singer Luke James referred to Full Moon as the "bible" of 2000s contemporary R&B, calling it the "blueprint of how to do vocals."[150]
Afrodisiac has been credited as one of predecessors to the Alternative R&B subgenre. In a 2014 music and fashion conversation with NPR, singer and model Solange discussed the album, saying "Brandy is really the foundation of a lot of this very innovative, progressive, experimental R&B. Brandy really influenced a lot of that. Frank Ocean will say it. Miguel will say it."[160]
