First released on December 2, 2003 on J Records, The Diary of Alicia Keys, the artist’s much-anticipated second album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with the best first week’s sales for a female artist that year. A formidable successor to her blockbuster debut (2001’s multi-platinum Songs In A Minor entered the Billboard 200 at #1 before winning Alicia an unprecedented five Grammy Awards including Best New Artist), The Diary of Alicia Keys became her second successive #1 album, generating three Top 10 singles–“You Don’t Know My Name,” “If I Ain’t Got You” and “Diary”–while adding three new Grammy Awards–Best R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (“If I Ain’t Got You”) and Best R&B Song (“You Don’t Know My Name”)–to her career total. The album has sold more than five million copies in the United States and more than eight million worldwide.
