Loose is Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado's third studio album and was released on June 20, 2006, in Canada and the U.S. and on June 9 or June 12 in the rest of the world. On June 7 2006, the Japanese version of the album was leaked onto various file sharing mediums.
Achievements
The album marks the first time in music history three different lead singles have been released simultanously to promote an upcoming album. The dance track "No Hay Igual" has been shipped to Mexico and South America, "Promiscuous" featuring Timbaland to Australasia and North America, and "Maneater" to stations in Eurasia.
Production history
Timbaland and Danja produced ten of the twelve tracks on the album. Another producer featured on the album is Lester Mendez (of Shakira's "La Tortura"). Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Juanes (whom Furtado collaborated on the hit record "Fotografía" from his Latin Grammy Award-winning album Un Día Normal) also appear on the album. Furtado also recorded with producers The Neptunes and Scott Storch but in the end none of their songs made the final cut. Another song, "I Am," leaked to the internet in early 2006 and circulated rumours that it would be on the finalized tracklist to Loose. However, as the release dates became finalized, as did the tracklists, and "I Am" was not featured.
On June 7, 2006, it was reported that Chris Martin's vocals in "All Good Things (Come To An End)" will be excluded from the song after a request by Martin's label EMI. The song is said to still be included in the album, however only Furtado's vocals will be featured.[2] On Tuesday, June 27th, the version of "All Good Things (Come To An End)" leaked to the internet featuring Chris Martin's vocals.

Critical and commercial response
So far, the album is looking to be a worldwide success, with "Maneater" being her first number-one success on the UK Singles Chart and "Promiscuous" being her first number-one single on the Canadian Singles Chart and the U.S. Hot 100.
The album has already been certified Gold in Switzerland, while the album hasn't charted there yet. The official Swiss Charts announced that over 15,000 copies of the albums have been sold already. In the UK Loose sold 33,263 copies in its first week.
On June 22, Furtado confirmed the second single in North America will not be "Maneater" as previously believed, but rather "Say It Right". The new single is expected to hit airwaves in early August internationally. [citation needed]
Loose debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling more than 34,000 copies in its first week. On the U.S. Billboard 200, the album also debuted at number one with sales of 219,000.
