It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 20 years since the release of Jill Scott‘s breakthrough album, ‘Who is Jill Scott:  Words and Sounds Vol. 1.’

Originally released summer 2000, the LP instantly shot the poetic songstress into the Neo-Soul stratosphere on the backs of songs that would later become her signature ‘Gettin in the Way,’ ‘The Way,’ ‘He Loves Me,’ and ‘A Long Walk.’

Celine Dion‘s ‘Courage,’ released November 15, was billed by critics a ‘career milestone project’ for a number of reasons.

Beyond being her first English-language project in six years, the effort also served as the songbird’s first worldwide body of work since the passing of her longtime manager and husband Rene Angelil.  Despite the unique circumstances, ‘Courage’ not only captured the top spot but also made history upon its impressive debut on last week’s Billboard 200 (as we reported here).
