Jennifer Lopez-Murray (born December 24th 1981) is an American singer-songwriter, producer, fashion designer and TV personality who rose to fame in 1998 the release of her debut album "Never Say Never". The album sold 16 million copies worldwide and spawned five #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 making her the first artist in history to have her first five singles reach #1, surpassing the record of The Jackson 5 and Mariah Carey who had four. She would later extend that record to six with the release of the lead single from her second album in 2000.

Lopez's career continued to see success when she left Atlantic Records in 2001 to sign a joint deal with Murder Inc. Records and Island Def Jam. Upon working with Murder Inc's Ja Rule, Lopez she would score her eighth and ninth Billboard #1 single with "Always On Time" and the lead single from her third album "Foolish". She continued to work with Ja Rule until departing Murder Inc. and Island Def Jam in 2004 due to creative differences.

After signing a three album deal with La Face Records, Lopez's star would begin to wane with a run of albums that whilst selling well, were below the record sales of her previous albums. In November 2008, Lopez was dropped from La Face and signed a new deal with Epic Records which saw her success rise with the release of her seventh studio album and reuniting with Ja Rule on a number of songs. In 2015, she signed a further three album deal with Epic.

Throughout her career, Lopez has sold over 80 million albums worldwide. She has scored 15 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles, the fourth most in US chart history behind The Beatles (20), Elvis Presley and Mariah Carey (18) and 5 US #1 albums. 33 of her singles (including her work as a featured artist, 26 without) have reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, the second most by any female, behind Madonna who has 36.

She is one of three artists to score five US #1 singles from a single album, the first was Michael Jackson's "Bad", followed by Lopez's debut album "Never Say Never". They were followed by Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" record in 2010. With 82 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, she is also the artist with most cumulative weeks at #1, overtaking Elvis Presley and Mariah Carey (79 weeks) when her 2012 hit single "All I Have" spent a second week at number one. She would spend a further two weeks at #1 with the single.
